Darius opened the hatch and climbed out of the sub while hoisting his backpack. Deia followed suit, tying the low hem of her dress into a knot to keep it from swaying about.
He surveyed the area around them with his own eyes and not the GPS, astounded by the view. Apart from the endless blue sea around them with the occasional migratory bird passing over, the shore before them was quite small.
Darius measured about 20 meters between the water and the boundary of coconut trees. This meant that there was actually very little shore for them to use, but they had no real choice.
At least, from what he could see, the coconut and banana trees were ripe. As for whether they were occupied, he couldn't see from this far out, so he would have to hope and pray that they don't offend any animals by touching them.
