If the reef was far from the ship, you got a tender ride. You leave the raft sitting on the side, with a backward roll, altogether. Next day was the deep dive, like the captain said 'now you can get legally drunk' due to the effect of nitrogen narcosis, a kind of intoxication by the nitrogen in the compressed air below 25m depths. Everybody feels it different.
I did not feel much effect. Of course it was colder and colours fainted to grey, except one piece of coral that still showed red, It's against the theory that colours will turn grey down there.
