                                                                      I noticed something on the ground. In the

                                                                     to my surprise, it was actually an old coin.

                                                                     it to him. As soon as he saw it, he became very

                 scuba diving. One day, I made plans to
                 go scuba diving in a totally new area to
                 take some interesting photos. While I was
                 exploring, I noticed something that looked
                 like a big rock. I swam closer and realised it
                 was a shipwreck. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I
                 immediately grabbed my camera. I was taking
                 pictures when a shark suddenly appeared
                 in front of the camera! I was shocked
                 and frightened, but luckily, it wasn’t very
                 interested in me. Finally, it swam away, and
                 I decided to go back to my boat. When I was
                 back on the beach, I called the police. During
                 the next few weeks, lots of archaeologists
                 and reporters visited that area. Amazingly,

                 the shipwreck had all kinds of art in it, like   Lucas
