Luckily for Duncan, the bite hadn’t left him with major scarring. But it had nonetheless required 285 stitches to fix. Bette could still hear her friend compare the painful bite to a firecracker going off in his mouth.
Bette let the shark be and concentrated her efforts on the keel once again. She dug her hands as deep she could below the flat piece of timber, searching as best she could without stirring up too much mud when her hands closed over something.
It took a couple of tugs to free it.
It was a bottle.
Hardly treasure she thought but she tucked it in the net bag at her belt and made for the surface making sure Tina was following her.

“What are you doing?” Bette asked as she exited the bathroom, her head bent over as she towelled her long hair dry.
Sitting cross-legged on their hotel bed, Tina looked up from her girlfriend’s diving log. “I’m drawing. Nice shower?”
Bette smiled at the fresh-faced blonde. She sat next to her with a bounce.
“Wow!” she exclaimed, “That’s very good. Are those the pelicans we saw today on the rigs?”
Tina nodded her response as she finished colouring in the yellow hood just above piercing blue eyes set in red sockets. “They look so clumsy waddling along when on land but, yet they can be so graceful when in flight. Good call by the way, deciding to dive that oil platform.”
Bette had made the decision once they had surfaced to go and explore a little more. She needed something to get her over their most recent disappointment. They had still plenty of air and had chosen one of the rigs which dotted the skyline.
Although the platforms looked like black stars on the surface of the ocean, once they had got under the water once more, they’d discovered a totally different world.
The huge underwater legs formed fantastic artificial reefs, teeming with marine life. Some had been anchored to the bedrock for over 40 years so sea life had had time to colonise the structure; different communities living at different depths.
They had swum between the legs of the platform for a few minutes before dumping the air from their buoyancy compensators to go down further. The water at that point was more than 200 feet deep but they had opted out of going too deep. There had been already plenty for them to see.

Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
