Lots of fish
Swimming around
A big scary blue green eel
Said, “Hi,” as it swam by
Puffer fish came
Puffed up to twice its former size to scare us
Giant red fish with blue eyes
Big teeth
Looking very busy paid no attention to us
The sea smelled salty
I wish I was always in the water
I want to be a fish
The water feels weightless
Like being in a dream
It is very quiet
