Speaker 1: Wake up call at camp is a lot like home,
Speaker 1: too loud and too early. The only difference is the
Speaker 1: Sandy Pass in the ocean view. If only we didn't
Speaker 1: have so much class time. It still feels so strange here.
Speaker 1: So do you know when we figure out these so
Speaker 1: called scuba points? All they said at the end of
Speaker 1: the bonfire bash was that we earn points for scuba diving.
Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine. But if it
Speaker 2: has anything to do with how well we do in class,
Speaker 2: my odds aren't too great.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you've been in the classroom more than me.
Speaker 1: I spend most of my time learning at the kitchen table.
Speaker 2: Wait, you don't go to school. You're really so smart?
Speaker 2: You don't go to school anymore?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'm homeschooled.
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, I was gonna say, but homeschooled for real? Yep,
Speaker 2: you're so lucky.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be so quick to say that. Some pros,
Speaker 1: some coms.
Speaker 2: Don't you get to wake up whenever you want and
Speaker 2: stay in your pjs all day? Don't you get to
Speaker 2: eat snacks and take extra days off?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, but sometimes I get extra time to do
Speaker 1: what I love or eat snacks.
Speaker 2: And that sounds pretty lucky to me. Come on, though,
Speaker 2: we've got a classroom to find three hours of marine biology.
Speaker 2: It should be fun.
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what it's like to learn about marine biology,
Speaker 1: even after three hours in class, I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 1: Professor Hayes sure seems to believe he's qualified. He looks
Speaker 1: like a scientist, with his disheveled hair, funky glasses, dress,
Speaker 1: clothes from what looked like the nineteen eighties, and an
Speaker 1: old briefcase with papers falling out all over his dea.
Speaker 1: But for some reason, all he talked about was one
Speaker 1: excavation project near the coast by our camp. Some guy
Speaker 1: named Mark Wilde Ramsing found the actual remains of the
Speaker 1: Queen Anne's Revenge Blackbeard ship. I guess they found all
Speaker 1: kinds of artifacts, but no gold or treasure.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 1: I spent the entire class quietly taking notes and somehow
Speaker 1: earned myself twenty scuba points, enough for an afternoon of diving.
Speaker 1: And then some organ on the other hand, spent the
Speaker 1: whole class doodling in her notebook, and even she earned
Speaker 1: herself twelve points. Whatever their system is, I don't get it.
Speaker 3: At all. By noon, I was.
Speaker 1: Starving and the cafeteria sounded even better than going home,
Speaker 1: which says a lot.
Speaker 3: If you ask me, beans, get you beans. That's good.
Speaker 2: Just when I thought school lunches couldn't look much worse,
Speaker 2: this camp food up and surprises me. Good thing. I
Speaker 2: pack snacks.
Speaker 3: Maybe dinner will be better.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 2: But on another note, what did you think of this
Speaker 2: Professor Hayes? Wait till you see my drawing of him.
Speaker 1: He was something seems quirky enough to be a science genius,
Speaker 1: but I can't say he taught much about marine biology?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: What was all that about the Revenge? Did he call it?
Speaker 2: I can't believe he spent that whole class period talking
Speaker 2: about one shipwreck.
Speaker 4: Attention, attention, campers. It has come to my attention that
Speaker 4: our camp is being recognized for its part in the
Speaker 4: excavation of the Queen Anne's Revenge. Not only have our
Speaker 4: campers discovered some essential artifacts while on scuba excursions, we
Speaker 4: are being entered in the running for recognition in the
Speaker 4: museum just ten miles from here. We need everyone to
Speaker 4: stay vigilanting and bringing in any and all questionable findings
Speaker 4: to our attention. We can win this if we band together.
Speaker 2: They sure are passionate about these artifacts, aren't they.
Speaker 1: I guess you could say that I was thinking more
Speaker 1: they're passionate about finding something specific.
Speaker 5: M And I add that you all stayed vigilant with
Speaker 5: checking the scuba schedule. I have posted schedules for this
Speaker 5: afternoon and tomorrow on the back of the wall over there.
Speaker 5: I've also posted them outside my office. Be sure to
Speaker 5: not miss this opportunity. Groups are plan to meet ten
Speaker 5: minutes before their sign time.
Speaker 3: Morgan, Yeah, do you think we need to bring anything
Speaker 3: with us?
Speaker 2: Well, even if we were supposed to, I literally have
Speaker 2: nothing that could possibly help me in water.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: True, I just wish we weren't a sign the first
Speaker 1: time slot. It's sure it would have been nice to
Speaker 1: stand back and watch first.
Speaker 2: That would have been nice.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I guess we should get going. Doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like Professor Hayes wants anyone to be lad.
Speaker 2: Seems a bit too uptight about it all if you
Speaker 2: ask me.
Speaker 5: All right, y'all are my elite group? Science must be
Speaker 5: your forte that are swimming anyways, great job on earning
Speaker 5: those scuba points. Now, I just need to take a
Speaker 5: quick roll call, and we'll be on our way to
Speaker 5: an ocean of discoveries. Let's see here, Avery here, Morgan here,
Speaker 5: Jack not here, Very funny Jack, Jack, And now we
Speaker 5: know who's the class cloud of the bunch. Just remember,
Speaker 5: while scuba diving, there is not room for error. One
Speaker 5: laugh could very well be your last.
Speaker 2: I guess we know who we'll be saving y'all.
Speaker 3: There right, I've got enough to worry about now.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing you all have passed a proficiency test in swimming,
Speaker 5: as that was one of the requirements to come to camp.
Speaker 3: News to me, shuah, good thing. I just happened to
Speaker 3: be on the swim team. Wait me too, awesome.
Speaker 1: I don't need too many swimmers, let alone swimmers on
Speaker 1: a team, Sam.
Speaker 5: So we will not waste any time. Rabbi Garon. Let's
Speaker 5: load up the boat. Avery, Morgan, you can get those
Speaker 5: masking first aid bags. Jack, you're with me. We got
Speaker 5: five oxygen tanks to carrying to the boat.
Speaker 1: Scuba diving doesn't seem easy, but then again, can't be
Speaker 1: that hard. I'm used to swimming as fast as I
Speaker 1: can and holding my breath. Morgan and Jack sure seem
Speaker 1: less nervous though only I was more used to sinking
Speaker 1: down in the water.
Speaker 3: I'm so used to racing on the top.
Speaker 5: Okay, grow after our initial dive, we will be focused
Speaker 5: on the search. All good scuba divers have a purpose
Speaker 5: in ours is to keep a good lookout for anything
Speaker 5: out of the ordinary down below the surface. Anything strange,
Speaker 5: anything that catches your eye gets directly reported to me.
Speaker 5: If it's good, it's just might enter of the running
Speaker 5: for mister Thatcher's iron diver reward.
Speaker 2: Awesome. Seems kind of early to be focusing on anything
Speaker 2: other than staying alive.
Speaker 5: Just remember watch your O two and keeping on your surrounding.
Speaker 5: A hold on, kids, Hold on, holy mackerel. Is everyone okay?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're good good.
Speaker 5: But it doesn't seem like your boat here is, thank you,
Speaker 5: captain obvious. Well, we seem to have hit some kind
Speaker 5: of rocky island out here. We're gonna have to figure
Speaker 5: out how to get ourselves up on out of here.
Speaker 5: Humm jack, grab that paddle over there, got it here, Avery,
Speaker 5: I give the motors and gas, Try and use this
Speaker 5: power to push off from the bow.
Speaker 3: Okay, but what's the bowl the front?
Speaker 5: Get up there on top and get ready Morgan, Jack
Speaker 5: wait for my directions.
Speaker 3: Just great.
Speaker 1: This guy goes and gets us stuck out here in
Speaker 1: the middle of the ocean on the first day.
Speaker 3: And how am I supposed to know what the bow is?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been swimming my whole life, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: make me a boater. I wonder what Morgan and Jack
Speaker 1: are thinking. I bet they're not as freaked out as
Speaker 1: I am. Though, deep breath savory just don't fall off
