In the vast sea, sharks, poisonous jellyfish, hunger and fear are always accompanied by these two unexpectedly outlier diving instructors. After 20 hours of dangerous ocean adventures, the pair of men and women who insist on love can finally be rescued?

They are isolated and helpless

In May 2006, diving lover Dick Nellie came from the UK to Australia in the southern hemisphere - the best diving paradise in the world. While participating in a diving club activity, he met Alison Dalton, a woman from the United States. The brave, independent, beautiful and sexy Dalton deeply attracted Nellie, and their common interests and hobbies and Nellie's fanatical pursuit brought them together soon. For love, Nellie and Dalton both stayed in Australia and worked as diving instructors in a diving club.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the romance and excitement of the beginning have gradually become bland in Dalton's eyes. After meeting 50-year-old Australian billionaire Hunter Price during a diving activity, Dalton has The idea of empathy. When Nellie knew that Dalton had changed his mind, he was in great pain because not long ago, he spent all his savings to buy Dalton a "Ocean Star" necklace that she had longed for. The romantic Nellie also secretly hid the "Ocean Star" in a shallow sea area of the Great Barrier Reef during a dive, preparing to give it to Dalton underwater on the third anniversary of their acquaintance, and formally proposed to her.

In May 2009, Dalton officially submitted his resignation to the club. When Dalton was about to end his diving career, four other divers from the club decided to see Dalton off in a special way. They rented a cruise ship called "Pacific Star" and went diving together in the beautiful ocean to say goodbye to Dalton's diving career.

On the morning of May 23, their "Pacific Star" set sail. After arriving at the destination Great Reef, everyone dived into the sea as agreed, played with each other, and expressed their last wishes to Dalton. After the dive, everyone boarded the boat together. Ready to rest on the boat for two hours before sailing home. At this moment, Nellie suddenly thought of the "Ocean Star" he was hiding in the coral bushes. His heart moved, and he wanted to dive with Dalton to take out the necklace and give it to her. Although the two were no longer a couple, it could be regarded as his last blessing to her.

Because he didn't want other colleagues to see his sentimentality, Nellie just quietly sent this final invitation to Dalton. Based on his diving experience, he estimated that he would be able to swim back within two hours. Dalton didn't want to go at first, but seeing Nellie's expectant eyes, he thought that this might really be the last time they would dive together, and finally agreed, and the two quietly got into the water from behind the boat.

After going to sea, Nellie took Dalton to swim to the coral bush where he hid the "Ocean Star". Soon, they reached their destination. Nellie carefully searched for the mark he had made in the coral bushes with his memory, but he couldn't find the place where the necklace was placed. Time was running out, so the two had to dive back regretfully. But when they came out of the water, they were surprised to find that the team members didn't seem to notice that they were diving secretly, and the boat had already left ahead of schedule. Now, both Nellie and Dalton were dumbfounded! Now they look at the sea, and they can't see any ships except for a piece of ocean. They are really isolated and helpless.

Dangerous underwater experience

It was almost noon, and the poisonous sun shone on the human body, causing the water in the human body to evaporate continuously. In order to preserve their stamina, two experienced divers, Nellie and Dalton, had to temporarily put on oxygen masks and dive below the water surface to avoid the noon sun. But not long after they dived below the surface, suddenly, a powerful dive swept them, and at that moment, Nellie quickly grabbed Dalton's hand. The undercurrent rushed them into the depths of the sea. When Nellie opened his eyes, he was stunned. There was a group of sharks not far from them. Dalton was obviously stunned by the sight in front of him. At that moment, she Not moving.

Nellie took a fluke, because although sharks are ferocious, they rarely take the initiative to attack humans. But for the sake of safety, Nellie insisted on protecting Dalton behind him. Several sharks swam past them smoothly, and Nellie and Dalton breathed a sigh of relief. But just as they relaxed their vigilance, suddenly, a shark in front of them pointed its fins downward and bent its back. Nellie suddenly became nervous, and he understood that this extraordinary behavior was a warning to the things around him after the shark was nervous. He let Dalton leave behind him for the first time, and pushed her into a coral crevice behind him.

At this time, the shark rushed towards Nellie. He desperately led the shark to swim away from Dalton's hiding spot, and just as Nellie was struggling to swim, the shark headbutted it and overturned Nellie. This is the usual trick of sharks: before using their teeth, let their prey taste their iron heads. Dalton opened his mouth in exclamation, seeing that Nellie was doomed, and at that moment her heart was in her throat, to swim out to help Nellie, she couldn't lose him. Just as she was about to come out of the crevice, she found that in the turbid water in the distance, a black shadow swam again, it was Nellie! He was not dead. The shark also found that this move did not defeat the "prey", and it became a little angry, rushed towards Nellie again, and opened its bloody mouth. Nellie, who had been prepared, deftly hid behind the coral bushes next to him, allowing the shark to flutter again. When the shark struck again, he grabbed a dead coral in front of him, and seeing that the thin weapon was no match for the ferocious shark, the shark raised its tail, twitched violently in the sea, and quickly turned its head towards Dalton came here.

At this time, Nellie found that the shark had a speargun stuck in its abdomen, and blood was flowing. He knew that it was Dalton who used the self-defense speargun to get him out of danger in a critical moment. When the shark turned to attack Dalton, Nellie did not hesitate to fire another shot in the head... These two shots hurt the shark so badly that the blood stained the sea, and it finally had to run away with its injuries. Nellie immediately swam to Dalton's side, and they had to leave quickly, otherwise the other sharks would come over immediately if they smelled the blood.

Nellie took Dalton for a long swim, and they rested in a dense coral bush. Nellie knew that they had to dive to the surface immediately and wait for rescue, because if they couldn't be rescued by night, the two would be in trouble.

After a short rest, Nellie took Dalton's hand and motioned her to float up. But Dalton looked terrified and pointed his finger at Nellie's head. Nellie raised his eyes through the mask and looked up: he found a thin snake on his head! Nellie froze. They all knew it was an olive green sea snake known as the "Poison King".

Dalton held Nellie's hand tightly and didn't move. They knew that although these snakes were poisonous, they generally wouldn't get angry as long as you didn't disturb them. I don't know how long it took, the sea snake finally lost interest in Nellie's oxygen tube, slowly crawled into the coral bushes next to it, and quickly disappeared.

Just as they were about to surface, Nellie found a transparent object like a pale blue umbrella in the water, squirming step by step. This made Nellie immediately alert. This is a giant venomous box jellyfish, and each tentacle is covered with stinging cells that store venom. Once a person is stabbed by the tentacles, the venom invades the heart within 3 minutes. will die. And what's even more terrifying is that they will take the initiative to attack humans, making people unable to guard against it. In order to avoid a head-to-head confrontation with the jellyfish, Nellie took Dalton to try to avoid it, but it seemed that their luck was really not very good, and a box jellyfish the size of a football appeared beside them. It seems that they fell into a group of jellyfish.

Nellie took Dalton to change the depth of the dive, hoping to escape the primitive and sharp eyes of the jellyfish. But avoiding is not the solution to the problem at all, because they don't know how much these jellyfish are still in this sea area, and they are running out of oxygen and need to surface immediately.

Nellie took off his diving knife, and he signaled that Dalton must look for opportunities to surface and find rescue. He intends to go head-to-head with these jellyfish. Dalton shook her head with tears in her eyes, she couldn't watch Nellie go on an adventure.

At this moment, Nellie found a large sea turtle slowly marching leisurely in a coral bush. He immediately had an idea of his own. With the help of Dalton, the big sea turtle was lifted by them. In the seawater overhead not far from the sea, there were already several jellyfish floating. The big sea turtle was pushed up by Nellie and Dalton with the help of water. The big turtle staggered in the sea. When it touched the tentacles of the jellyfish, it immediately stabilized its body, and then it freely shuttled among the jellyfish groups with no scruples, easily tearing off their tentacles...

After the jellyfish swarm was dispersed, Nellie and Dalton finally dived to the surface.

See true love after suffering

Although they surfaced, the scorching afternoon sun scorched them, and Dalton's face turned sauce red in an instant. To prevent Dalton's skin from being burned by the sun, Nellie kept sprinkling water on Dalton.

Whenever there is a dangerous moment, Nellie always leaves the hope of life to Dalton. His every move has completely moved Dalton. She swam to Nellie moved. The two forgot the danger and fought a water fight., laughed happily.

When the bloody sunset fell on the sea, exhaustion and hunger hit them, and Dalton felt that he was gradually running out of energy. At this time, Nellie decisively tied himself and Dalton with a counterweight belt to ensure that the two would not be washed away by the sea as they drifted at night. The night was getting darker and darden's eyelids were getting heavier, but Nellie knew that they had to stay awake, otherwise they would be in danger of being engulfed by the sea at any time.

"Honey, do you know what I'm looking for in the coral bushes today? 'Ocean Star', I wanted to surprise you..." Dalton was moved by Nellie's infatuation and courage, but her tiredness Getting stronger and stronger, Nellie still spoke tirelessly: "Honey, remember when we first met? You didn't treat me well..." Nellie's words brought Dalton back to them The time when they first met... The day was getting brighter, and with Nellie's constant encouragement, Dalton finally survived this difficult night.

At this moment, Nellie suddenly heard the roar of a plane in the sky, and they immediately used all their strength to call for help. Afterwards, the two were rescued by the rescue team who came to the rescue and sent to the hospital for treatment.

After recovering, Dalton told Hunter the news of his rescue. On the other end of the phone, Hunter seemed to have just woken up from his sleep and said, "Honey, isn't it? It's so happy, I'll be right over." Just then, another woman's voice came over the phone. Dalton put down the phone immediately, and she was silent for a long time. At this time, Nellie came in despite the doctor's dissuasion, and he was relieved to see Dalton safe and sound.

At this moment, Dalton made an important decision. After being discharged from the hospital, she resolutely proposed to Hunter to cancel the engagement. Hunter was surprised, and after confirming Dalton's heart, Hunter gritted his teeth and said, "You'll regret it!" Dalton smiled and shook his head.

On a clear day, Nellie took Dalton to the coral bush again. After careful searching, they finally found the beautiful "Ocean Star", which Dalton happily wore around his neck. superior.
