Creative Writing.

 This is a piece of creative writing that I have been working on for the past couple of weeks. I am on step five for my writing. My next learning steps are to be confident and consistent using a variety of punctuation including apostrophe for contractions and ownership for and commas for phrase and to experiment with Dashes, colons and semicolons. Here is my writing. Enjoy :)

Our Hectic Diving Experience

“AHHH!” We all screamed as our waka flew over the enormous, colossal waves, with our arms and legs flying everywhere we were excited to get out and explore the deep, blue sea. 

Uncle Tamati, who is technically an expert diver, yelled, “ Alright kids get off one at a time or else you’ll flip the boat.” The adults went in first and then the kids, one by one they slowly disappeared into the gloomy depths of the ocean. As I dove into the crystal clear but cold water, it was like I was entering a portal into a whole new world. The water was so majestical. I was surrounded by beautiful sea life and it was the best feeling until frigid water slipped into my wet-suit and my body rapidly covered in goosebumps; I was frozen in place.

 Swimming through the water looking for the kai moana. The dive bag, filled to the brim with spiky, tasty kina. Suddenly, “AHHH! NO! Jayden screamed. Slowly but sadly the bag began to descend into the depths. Frantically our uncles dove in from all angles trying to rescue the dive bag. About 20 minutes had passed and uncle Matiu had finally retrieved the bag, we were all relieved. 

 The bottom of the ocean was just getting clearer and clearer, the beautiful sea creatures living their best life under water. Clear blue water glistened as we swam on our backs looking up into the heavens. Out of the blue Nikora began kicking his legs and waving his arms. A beautiful manta ray was drifting through the water above us. This amazingly enormous sea devil was gliding through the water like an Eagle flying through the air. Nikora was so frightened he was frozen in place and he didn’t want to move, but we needed to get out of the water, bravely he began to slowly swim towards the boat. His head moved speedily from side to side just making sure that no more creatures were lurking in the deep.

The day was hectic but it was a blast. It was like a roller coaster of emotions. One moment we were happily diving through the clear water and the next we were screaming our heads off. That was definitely a once in a lifetime hectic diving experience.
