I said. "Me too. An air bubble is on the porthole. We need to get there fast." He said. He took a deep breath before diving into the water as I followed him.

She was trying to swim while throwing her hands and legs in the air. She started throwing her hands and legs to swim or grab something to survive but all her efforts went in vain.
