Everything was blue…
Like a thousand different shades of blue he'd never seen before all layered on top of each other like someone had painted the ocean with a palette that only existed down here.
Light filtered down from above in wavering columns, dancing across the sandy bottom in patterns that shifted with every wave.
'Holy shit…' Wren thought with his eyes going wide behind the mask.
He'd expected it to be cool, sure. He'd seen pictures of coral reefs in books and documentaries but actually being here, suspended in the water with his face submerged was completely different.
The coral formations stretched out in every direction… Some looked like massive brain-shaped boulders while others branched upward like underwater trees with hundreds of delicate fingers reaching toward the surface and colors he couldn't even name properly dotted the reef.
There were deep purples, bright oranges, electric yellows and even soft pinks.
