Underwater Modeling - Dominique Tortuga (1/2)

The next day after that awkward conversation with Ryuzaki, you got another job at a different part of the island. Of course it's also being a safety diver for a model, but it's not Ryuzaki. You heard that the event has four models, you wondered if you will work with all of them.

You first saw her when you were preparing your equipment. A dark-skinned, petite girl was greeting everybody with much glee. She's the model you're working with today, Dominique Tortuga from Spain.

From the first time Tortuga jumped into the water, you know she's the polar opposite of Ryuzaki. The sea was like her home--she looks very, very comfortable in it. Her movement felt very natural and everything she did, you know she did them with ease.

That includes the modeling session. As she placed the regulator on her lips, there was no doubt or fear in her eyes. And then everybody dived down. The divers, including you, were guiding her to the location which was a little bit deeper that Ryuzaki's location. She was still following everyone's lead like nothing.

The photoshoot started, and Tortuga started posing. Every pose she made was very expressive, like imitating a martial arts stance. The way she's moving, it's like she could breathe normally, here 22 meters below the surface. She could also playfully blow some bubbles, which was a bit worrying to you I did seemed like she was enjoying herself too much.

The other divers started to feel nervous. Tortuga had yet to request for air. Things like this happens, in fact just yesterday. A model would overestimate her ability and realizing she's far from oxygen a bit too late. 

But you gave signs to your buddies, basically saying "It's fine." Why? Because you know Tortuga was actually still fine. The photographer was getting a lot of shots, and you were sure he would mind if anyone disturbs the photoshoot. 

Tortuga's breaking two minutes--she hasn't tasted any air for two straight minutes while you easily breathe with your scuba gear. You know it was nearing her limit, so you slowly swim, closing in on the Spanish girl...
