In the paradise-like bay of Rose Island, Polaris quietly floated on the turquoise water.
A fulfilling "treasure hunt" and diving training had just ended, and the aroma of lunch began wafting from the ship's cabin.
On the teak dining table on the deck, Mike prepared sandwiches.
"To our treasure hunters!" Mike raised his chilled beer, making the first toast to Lin Yu'an and Riven, "And to our target this afternoon, the 'Mahoney'!"
"Cheers!"
The clinking of three beer bottles marked the beginning of the shipwreck exploration.
The atmosphere at lunch was relaxed and joyful.
Riven took out her waterproof tablet, pulled up several underwater photos of the "Mahoney," and began the afternoon briefing for Lin Yu'an.
"Look here," she pointed at a wide-angle photo showing a ship lying quietly on the sand, completely covered with coral and sponge outlines.
