<i>in the depths of her watery grave</i>

490
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,000
<i>is the main reason to visit</i>
<i>the Vanuatu Islands.</i>

491
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,200
<i>I too was bewitched</i>
<i>by this charming beauty.</i>

492
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,760
<i>Yet, I longed to see more.</i>

493
00:50:54,840 --> 00:51:00,440
<i>To look at the ship's name,</i>
<i>now overgrown by corals and sea weed,</i>

494
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,480
<i>I had to dive 66 meters.</i>

495
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:15,400
<i>From this depth I would experience one</i>
<i>of my longest returns to the surface...</i>

496
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:19,080
<i>And treasure every second.</i>

497
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:23,840
[♪ festive music playing in the distance]

498
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,840
[♪ music grows louder]

499
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,600
[♪ music fades out]
