Oyushi packed the watertight pack which she would carry around her waist with a first aid kit, a flashlight with extra batteries as well as a waterproof map of the section of caves into which she would be going to. She stood up, stretched and slipped out of the robe which covered her body. Lately she lived in a bathing suit more often than anything else.<br/><br/>Oyushi was the chief scientist involved with the local university to research a series of underwater caves. She had sent the last of the students home for the night and was going to check out this one section alone. There were several reasons she refused to send the students in until she was sure it was safe.<br/><br/>With the pack strapped around her waist she headed out the door to the docks. She dove into the clear water and swam to the bouy which showed just inside the ring of light which was given off by the lights on the shore.<br/><br/>It was only a few 100 yards from shore and it didn't take her long to get to it. She took a deep breath and dove downward, the first cave was not hard to reach and each one after that were easy to pass through. As she reached the first one, she dragged herself out of the water and looked around the first cave, the flashlight only showing part of the cave at a time.
