Background sound: invites one of the crew members “Divers, stand by for the work. I repeat: divers, stand by.”

DIVER: I am Dainius Jurevičius, a diver. My job is related to the secrets of the depth. When submerging into the water, I feel the world around me is slowing down. Everything takes a different rhythm underwater – time here is passing slowly, every movement is important, every breath is delicate. My task is to inspect the ship, to check her condition, and I take care of the ship. I dive to the seabed before the de-mining, where human’s eyes don’t see, my hands become my eyes, touching the seabed, trying to identify its characteristics –  clayey, hard, stony or smooth.
When we are preparing for the mine detonation, I slide quietly through the water, knowing that safety not only of the entire crew, but also of myself is in my hands. The cold and darkness of the water are not enemies – they become my allies helping to perform a duty. There is no place for fear or doubt underwater, only confidence in myself and my team. Every moment underwater is a dialogue with the nature’s element that hides the secrets of the sea and our strength.

Background sound: “Your duty was completed.”
