You biked until you arrived at beach, your body more than out of breath, and sat down a second, mentally celebrating having made it in time. You took a moment to calm your heart, the adrenaline rush slowly going down.
After your recovery you sat up, dusting off your outfit and tying your bike to a pole. You then set foot in the sand, smiling as everybody was already waiting there for you, but the first to greet you, just as usual, was Marcus.
He approached you, his face bright and smile kind. He had a relaxed demeanor, making you think he was just an overall calm person.
"You made it! That took a while to bike, didn't it?"
He chuckled as you nodded.
"Yeah, I almost didn't made it in time, yet here I am"
"But it's still not that much, Marcus, it's only a few blocks away!"
You jokingly fake-punched his shoulder, smiling playfully.
"Look at the bright side, at least, this time, we don't have to come here at night"
He rolled his eyes and lightly punched  yours back, his smile matching you.
"That's true"
"Oh, by the way, is the equipment ready?"
"Yeah, we've prepared everything, even brought some spare fins just in case. This time the equipment is not going to give us any problems"
He replied, checked the equipment himself one last time before bringing walking to the middle of the group where everyone was standing.
You obviously followed after him, putting on what you didn't already have and climbing on the association's boat with everyone else.
The ride was quiet other then occasional remarks of your more chatty colleagues.
Time flew by as you stared at the calm and colourful ocean, so much that you were surprised when one of your coworkers nudged your shoulder, warning you that you had arrived.
You smiled happily and prepared to enter water, placing both of your hands on the edge next to you and lifting yourself up and outward with your hands, lowering yourself into sea.
