Fahad walked with trembling knees, and a pounding heart to the traditional diving ship as his grandfather asked him to do. It wasn’t his first mission looking for pearls with his cousins, but he dropped the diving idea two years ago, and he doesn’t want to be part of this old tradition again. Being the great-grandson of a pearl diver, he used to hear a lot from his grandfather about the pearl diving in the Arabian Gulf, the job that ended decades ago after the discovery of the oil. His family is attached to the past teaching every son and grandson the diving skill. He was one of them until he heard a story that killed his passion for diving forever. Fahad thought about retreating and accepting his new title as a chicken instead of getting aboard, but his cousins pushed him forward, almost dropping him on the ship’s deck. He balanced himself, held his sports bag tightly, and sat at the center of the back as far away from the sea waves as possible. When the ship’s captain ordered the older boys to help raise the anchor, Fahad was only thinking of the big mistake he has done while untying the ship’s sails with four lads as the captain forced him to do. “No one is allowed to be lazy, boys,” yelled the ship’s captain. “I’ll figure a way not to participate, captain!” He thought. “Sorry, grandpa, I’ll have to let you down.“
Discover the reason behind Fahad’s hesitation and fear from the sea even though he is a skilled and brave young diver in this new of its kind adventure. Will these overpowering feelings stop Fahad from continuing his passion forever, or will there be a change in Fahad’s heart for the better? Will this young man regain his confidence and courage back? In a short story that combines both of the beauty of the past and the wonders of our modern life, the reader will live a beautiful and exciting adventure with three passionate divers from Qatar: Fahad, Salim, and Jassim. Along with their whole big family that takes the passion for diving and sailing the sea to the next level.
