A lone diver recounts descending in a copper helmeted suit to explore a coral encrusted hull, finding the wreck positioned near a reef and estimating depth and bearing. He retrieves a hull fragment, notes the Neustra Senora de Seyuia galleon’s likely locale, and struggles with equipment while returning to the surface.
A diver recalls a perilous deep water ascent saved by a slender rope and air supply. With weight, pressure, and fatigue rising, the narrator struggles to reach the surface, then regains strength after revival from fresh air and a brandy break. The scene ends with a return toward Agona as monsoon winds shift.
