Deep breath. Plunge down. Anchor. Push button. Flash. Up. Deep breath.

 

As you plunge beneath the surface, a struggle between gravity and water ensues as you try to anchor your body to take the photo. After fumbling with the button, which seems to last forever, the flash emits a glow in the dark of the water. Your body fights for air and you swim upward. Play. Sigh. It's perfect.
