'Don't go in there' he said as he swam back from the gates. Unspoken, we both perceived the gauntlet drift downward to the ocean floor below.
For a while we watched and we waited until during a brief lull in the waves we quietly slipped through.
It was so intense in that crazy place, always on our guard and never knowing where the next onslaught would come from.
We lingered as long as we dared then slipped unnoticed out the back in to the world of wind and sunshine again.
