Dive day

Alarm clock shakes me noisily
At something past four
Food to make, stuff to pack
Before bolting out the door

Darkness still reigns here
The sun is yet to shine
Cup of tea and shake my head
Clears remnants of Friday's wine

Butterflies swirl around inside
The adventure's not far away
M6, then M69
Stoney Cove for me today

Park up, join the queue
Hear laughter up ahead
Is it fake, bravado
Covering up their nerves instead

I am nervous, I'll admit
This is a new world for me
Plummeting in to the deep
Wonder what I'll see

There's all sorts, apparently
In this big hole in the ground
Hope I get to take a look
And have a swim around

Want to gaze in to the depths
Held down by tank and weights
Float, and watch my bubbles rise
The underwater world awaits
