Moving cautiously, you climb up the sides of the canyon hoping to reach the ocean floor. You leave the Seeker in the grips of the giant squid. Your plan is to signal for help with a dye marker that will float to the surface and make a bright yellow patch in the water. The crewmen above have been instructed to watch for such emergency signals. They will send help.
Once you reach the ledge above the canyon and feel slightiy safer, you see the most feared of all sea creatures— a huge shark. It begins to circle towards you and you know that you are its target. You wonder whether you should fire your emergency propulsion charge that will send you rapidly to the surface. The shark is fast; he might catch you anyway. You also know that you will get the bends from the rapid rise to the surface.
