[Lance catches on quick and doesn't require much more instruction, which is great, because Nate doesn't think he has it in him to play teacher again.]
A little of both. [His mouth twitches in a frown as the needle digs in a second, a third time.] Like I said, I work in marine salvage. I was curious.
[What Nate doesn't want to say is that is that he was desperately looking for an outlet that would stimulate the parts of him that feel the most trapped. That he might have happily risked one giant shark without help, that he's the sort of person who would have taken the dive as far as he could have withstood the pressure and then some before ascending again, just to feel the rush.]
Thought it was gonna be a simple free dive. One big breath, scout the bottom, come back up, y'know? I didn't really expect to find bodies down there, but that's about my luck.
