The room spun. David leaned against the wall, his eyes wide. His grandfather's list. *Go deep-sea diving*. He couldn't help the grin that erupted across his face, it seemed to overtake everything.

He thought of the unexplored depths, the vibrant coral, the silent, mesmerizing underwater world. He grabbed his phone and began searching. Diving lessons, certification courses, the best spots in the world.

He couldn't contain his excitement. He booked a course, feeling like he could fly. He was ready to explore the ocean.
