Swimming With the Fishes, Tuesday, period 1

"SCUBA diving," Duke said. "Stands for 'self-contained underwater breathing apparatus'. Basically, you strap an oxygen tank to your back, hook it to your breathing holes with a tube, and get to explore down deep without worrying about holding your breath. Good times."

He went over some basic skills and demonstrated the proper way to use the regulator with a human-type mouth.

"We're not going super deep today, so you don't have to worry about things like decompression sickness or anything. So strap yourselves in and let's go see what animal awaiiiiioh holy shit."

The moose was striding across the beach right for him. He jumped out of the way as it tossed its antlers and trotted right into the water.

". . . Right, so. Moose swim. I knew that. I guess we're SCUBA diving with the moose today."

"Thank you," Danny replied, spreading his hands and grinning like that was all he could hope for. "I'll do my best to keep you safe, but you're kind of the larger target here."

Upside of being short!
