~ Aubree Lane, Early One Morning Snippet The last thing Annie wanted to do was talk about Marissa, but since she was common ground, she asked, “Where did you take Marissa and David diving? Didn’t you say something about a wreck?” Terence pointed slightly south of their position. “On a former minesweeper. The Mahi has three decks and a pilot house. She sits at a depth between fifty-eight to seventy-five feet. It’s easily accessible, and the marine life is so comfortable with the human element they practically pose for all the photo hungry tourists. I recommend it all the time.” Then he shook his head. “I’m not so sure that’s a good thing.” “Why not, it sounds like good business.” He hesitated, then shrugged. He pointed the long neck of his beer bottle out in the direction of the popular dive spot. “People go out there with their loaves of bread and bait to attract the fish. It’s cool when the little guys gather around and start nibbling on your fingers, but they’re not the only ones out there. There are rays, green sea turtles, white tipped shark and the wreck is full of eels. Given enough time those same fun loving sea creatures are going to start seeing people as a food source, instead of some strange one-eyed bubbly organism.” amzn.to/1dBCOm3
