Swimming to Atlantis
Learn to hold your breath, or get the highest capacity oxygen tank you can find.
Eat before going because you won’t be able to pack a lunch.
Make sure to bring a flashlight and a bunch of spare batteries. It’s dark down at the ocean floor.
Stay close to the sperm whales. The sharks and the jellyfish usually leave them alone, though if you meet a giant squid, get away as fast as possible. The sperm whales won’t mind. They can take care of themselves, but you can’t.
Don’t worry about the smaller predators, like the angler fish or gulper eels. Just let them be and they’ll do the same for you.
You should start to see the city at about 16,000 feet. Watch out for the spires of the towers; their porcelain peaks can skewer you if you’re not careful.
Go down past the stained-glass windows of the buildings. Don’t mind the glowing blue eyes staring out at you. They’re just curious. Tourists don’t come by too often anymore.
When you reach the street, make sure to say hello. The Atlantians know English, so don’t worry.
What do they look like? It’s hard to say. Accounts differ.
Some say they’re like blue humans, with webbed hands, necks lined with gills, and pitch black eyes.
