Niasi sighed but smiled and dove under. Her eyes weren't as sensitive as most cats, so the salt didn't bother her as much. She followed Sky, looking around in the depths. So this is what it was like under here.

Sky glided through the water like she had wings, they were approaching the reef and she was getting excited. Bubbles rose from under her, tickling her fur and ears. She felt at peace in the deep; she rose for another deep breath and went under again. The reef was just before her now.

Niasi stared in awe at the reef. There were so many colors! It was so beautiful. Fish swam past them, bubbles rose from beneath, the coral itself was fantastic. She had never seen something as nice as this since forever. And if she had, she couldn't remember it.

Sky loved being at the reef, thinking of the world down here. She watched as the different colored fish swam alongside her, but when she stretched a hand to poke any one of them they wooshed off. She placed one of her paws on the reef for balance, and raised her head above the water. She panted for a few seconds, then patted Niasi's head so that she would rise too.

Niasi let her head poke out, but only so much that her eyes and nose were up. she grinned and narrowed her eyes and swam for Sky like a shark, then poked her side and laughed. she looked around, breathing in the salty ocean air. "This is amazing, Sky."

Sky pretended to be afraid by faking a shriek, and then playfully pushing Niasi back. She grinned. " I know! Have you got a taste for oysters?" she asked, as an idea came into her head: If they would keep swimming by the reef, they would get to a place where oysters thrived and some even had pearls!

"I've never had one, but I hear they're good. And lots of cats say that they've found the most amazing pearls in them." Niasi looked down again. "Is it alot deeper out there?"

Sky smiled, "No, we just have to swim down the reef and go diving below it. That's the best place for oysters." she grinned and fell underwater again, knowing Niasi would follow.

Niasi shrugged her shoulders and dove behind her. she didn't like the feel of the water pressure on her ears, but it wasn't so bad after a bit. The cold didn't matter to her. The wet wasn't the greatest, but the look of her fur waving around like it had its own life was amazing.

After a couple of minutes of swimming and arising, Sky and Niasi had arrived. Sky stepped on the reef lightly once again, and told her friend to take a deep, deep breath and follow her. " The pressure is kinda strong down there. And just pry some oysters from the stones and rise again, leave them on the reef so that they wouldn't fall back down, and repeat a couple of times. We could sell most to the Sea Scape Tavern, and cook the rest for ourselves. You see, the sea-scape tavern owners never send themselves down here, so they pay a lot for the oysters." she grinned.

"I can't imagine why." Niasi laughed. She took a breath and dove down. The oysters were all clustered together in a big clammy garden. It was easy to get a bunch. she soon had fun getting them off of the rocks.

Sky rolled her eyes and vied in after Niasi, taking a few strokes to get to the very bottom. She pried a few oysters off of the stones, the pressure building in her ears. She thought she saw something inside of the oyster and hoped it was a pearl, but it was only a bubble which rose above her.

Niasi watched the bubble float up. She resumed diving until she got tired and sat back up on the reef, panting and dripping wet. She shook the water out of her eyes and looked down at the big pile they had managed to get. "Wow. These are actually cool."

As Sky emerged after Niasi, she stood up and shook what fur she had managed to get above the water, then she sat back down, only her head above the surface. She laughed, "yeah they are, now lets peep into the cracks and see if we got any pearls. And pick which ones we're gonna eat." she smiled, taking about five oysters to examine.

"Um, how do you open these things?" Niasi asked, trying to pry one open. She managed to get her paw away just in time as it closed tighter. "See?" She tried again, then held it up to her eye. There was no crack. "It sealed, I can't see anything."
