30. Diver down

Everyone was literally doing there own thing at this point. Ophelia and JJ were arguing about eating the fish.
"So you brought a fish but you won't let us eat it for lunch.?" JJ stared at the fish.
"Who's us? And no, you are not eating Fred." She huffed. JJ rolled his eyes and flipped the fish off.
"Fuck you Fred." He yelled and walked off.

"Okay, this one's a quarter full. It's enough for one of us." Kiara sighed.
"Love it when a plan comes together." Pope spoke sarcastically.
"Does anybody know how to dive?
Anybody?" Kiara called out to the group. Ophelia and Dean shared a look. Of course they knew how to dive. The had to do this shit every three weeks at the orphanage. It was 'training' but Ophelia thought they just did it so children could drown.

"It's kind of a Kook sport." JJ smiled nervously.
"I... read about it." Pope sighed.
Great, Pope read about it, so someone's gonna die." Kiara smiled annoyed.
"Look, y-you put the thing in your mouth and breathe. How hard could it be?" JJ tried to look like he knew what he was doing.

"If you come up too fast, nitrogen gets into your blood, and you get the bends." Pope educated
"Bends like, bend over and..." JJ bent over stupidly while Ophelia went behind him and slapped his ass.
"The bends kill you." Pope said sternly
"Right." Both JJ and Ophelia stepped away.
"I can... I can dive." John B spoke.

"You can dive. I'm cool with that." JJ agreed.
"Since when can you dive?" Kiara asked.
"John B your not diving" Ophelia shook her head.
"I'll do it. It's fine." John B assured them.
"Let me do some calculations real quick." Pope was being the smarty pants he was.

Once the boys were done figuring it out they got ready for John B to dive. Suddenly kiara jumped off the boat with her yellow shirt in hand.

"Uh... What was that all about?" Pope questioned
"I don't know, but I liked it. A lot." JJ smirked. Ophelia and Dean snickered at him.
"All righty. Yeah. Uh, when you... uh, when you're down there, you look for the cargo hold."
"You stick this thing inside and twist and pull, okay?" Pope told him.
"Stick in, twist, pull." John B nodded.
"Ha. That's what she said" both Ophelia and Dean laughed.
"Good one my friends" JJ smiled while getting annoyed looks from pope.

Kiara submerged.
"Hey! I tied my T-shirt to the anchor chain about ten feet down.
It's where you need to do your safety stop." She smiled.

"Cool." John B nodded.
"Keep an eye on this.
You need to make sure you have enough air to decompress." Pope spoke.
"Okay, how much do I need?" John B asked
"Unclear. Breathe as little as possible." Pope nodded.
"John B please don't die" Dean looked at him.
"No promises" John B smiled.

"Zen. Think Zen, you know?" JJ sighed.
"Hey, if we get caught in the marsh, we're basically screwed, so... better get a move on." Pope pushed him.
"Copy that." John B spoke.

John B got ready to dive when kiara came up and kissed him.
"What In the hell-" Ophelia began speaking when Dean quickly hushed her by putting his hand around her mouth.
"Diver down?" John B asked kiara
"Diver down." She smiled.
"Diver down." Pope spoke.

"All right. See ya, dude." JJ waved.
