Larry was on another of his underwater cxpcditions (探险)but this timc,it was differcnt. He
decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old.This would be her first
trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly,his father had taken him
along on onc of his cxpeditions. Sincc then, he had never looked back. Larry startcd out by
renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. Lle had hated them. They
were either too big or too small. Then,there was the instructor. Le gave him a short lesson
before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would hever
havc bccn able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of
hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition,Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better, There
was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his
back,Larry dived from boats into the middie of the occan.Dangcrous arcas did not prevent him
from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater,but that did not
bother him.At least he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous
diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him,a man
offered to take him around the different spois for free, Larry did not even know what the time
was,how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots
afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of
creatures.
