During my summer holidays my friends Sarah and John and I went to the Dominican Republic because I wanted to try something exciting, and that was an ideal place for diving. When we came to the Scuba Diver shop an instructor came up to us and told us how to dive and he gave us each a scuba tank, wetsuit, mask and a monofin. We came to the diving site, and I went first. I went into the water and began desending. I saw a lot of interesting fish of various shapes and colors, coral reefs, seagrass. I felt comfortable, but suddenly I hit my tank against corals and it began to give out air. I started assending in order to feel better. I took off the tank, but I did not have enough air to breathe. Sarah was worried about me staying there for so long. And then after a few seconds the rescuers pulled me up to the beach. But my problems did not end. When the tourist bus was taking us to the hotel, the driver turned the wrong way and we started to slide into the canyon. The people began to cry for help. Someone even prayed. John called the rescue service. They arrived quickly, and got us out one by one. They called for another bus for us. Coming back to the hotel I lay on my bed and sighed with relief.
