Thank you to  ZeroStarflare for letting me borrow his fursona for a bit and let her explore my fantasy world with my OC.

Minp had long wished to do his first dive. However, due to his inability to swim, his only option is to dive with someone who is not only competent in diving but also capable of assisting him in diving without fear of drowning.

One day, he came across a cabbit girl wearing in a white one-piece with thigh-high stockings who frequently freedives at a beach he knows. He asked whether she wanted to be his diving buddy. To his astonishment, she agreed, but with one condition.

"No tanks are allowed," said Rosa.

Minp's spine tingled when he realised that without tanks, he'd have to resurface to receive the air his enormous lung required. He is unsure if he will be able to do so. The downside exceeds the benefits. The sense of not being linked to many kilogrammes of heavy and unwieldy equipment, on the other hand, allows one greater freedom underwater, as if one wishes to be one with the ocean creature itself.

Minp is prepared to take the danger in order to enjoy his first immersed aquatic experience. As a result, he agrees with her condition.

Somewhere Near the Beach

They've arrived at what is claimed to be a submarine graveyard. They suited up, and the cabbit quickly leaped from the boat, effortlessly falling into the stunningly pure blue waters.

The long-haired fox, on the other hand, appears to be afraid of being wet. He is aware of the depth of the water. His pulse becomes quicker and stronger. He must conquer his anxieties or no diving session for him. with a big breath. He leaped off the boat's ledge and braced himself.

Splash

He closes his eyes and hears bubbles followed by ambient underwater sounds for a few seconds before his head breaks the surface. His initial inclination is to thrash his hand about, but he stays motionless until he is on his back. He appears to be more buoyant than he anticipated.

He knew it wasn't going to be challenging to keep his head above water at this point. However, he is so underweight that bringing him down is quite impossible. This problem is overcome by his wearing a belt he brought with him.

With the weight on his waist, he dragged himself under with the help of the cabbit. He does learn how to kick his flipper in a cycling motion, and he becomes quite adept at it after some while. He can hold his breath for more than 2 minutes, which is remarkable for someone who seldom dives.

They are welcomed by the beauty of what nature has offered for them as they explore the bottom of the ocean. Their pupils dilate. Especially for the green vulpine. The sensation of weightlessness, along with the vibrancy and calmness of the ocean floor, causes Minp to become confused. He's taken aback by how many unusual species he's seen. Until his eyesight blurs and narrows...

5 minutes later

Minp awakened to find himself already on the boat. Rosa is sitting next to him, removing her flipper. In an attempt to comprehend what had occurred, he questioned her whether they were truly diving together.

Rosa nodded and stated that he had a blackout as a result of holding his breath for too long. Furthermore, his brain does not transmit a signal to the lung indicating that the oxygen level is too low. She tries everything, including dumping the entire belt, to pull him to the surface. Rosa promised to send him the belt as soon as she could.

Maybe they should dive in shallower water next time.
