After years of working as an Oceanographer, Nick Neptune was looking forward to beginning a new adventure. He was going to open a sanctuary to protect dolphins. The only problem was that he didn't have the money to sustain such a noble project. He sold all of his belongings and moved down to a tropical island near the Pacific Ocean.

Nick always enjoyed his early morning walks on the beach. He loved the relaxing sound of the ocean's waves, the feeling of the sand between his toes, and the many sea creatures he would encounter during his travels. What he didn't expect was the sudden appearance of two strange men on what he thought was an isolated island.

"Mr. Neptune? Is that you? My associate, Mr. Russell and I have been looking all over for you. We have an exciting proposal that just might interest you." "What's this all about?" Nick asked. "We have learned that just off the coast of this island, a sunken ship has recently been detected by a submarine. If the reports are true, there could me millions of dollars in gold at the bottom of the sea!"

DOLPHIN ISLAND SANCTUARY

"Nobody knows the ocean like you do. We have a ship all ready to go and if you'd be willing to help us find the treasure, we'll make it worth your while." "We have no experience deep sea diving. That's where you come in. All you have to do is locate the treasure chests and hook them up to the ship." "And then?" Nick asked. "And then we split the loot with you and you can spend it any way you want." "My dolphin sanctuary!" Nick thought to himself.

Nick was desperate to raise funds for his dolphin sanctuary and he couldn't pass up this opportunity. He reluctantly agreed to join the two men on their voyage to find the sunken ship with its treasure chests full of gold. The trio headed out to the middle of the ocean as Nick got ready to descend into the deep.

Nick put on a sophisticated looking dive suit. "Looking good Nick!" Mr. Oliver said. "This suit will protect you from the deepest water pressure and even hungry sharks. We will be in constant radio contact with you so don't be afraid." "Good luck Nick!" Nick hooked himself up to the deep sea diving apparatus and was slowly lowered into the ocean.

As he was began his descent into the ocean, Nick was awestruck by just how beautiful and peaceful life under water was. It had been a while since he had been in the ocean and he started to remember why it made him feel so alive. "Look at all the different kinds of fish!" he marveled to himself. "Wish I had my camera."

"I can't believe the fool bought it" Mr. Russell snickered. "Oh yeah, like we're really interested in his pictures of fish. Once he brings up the treasure chests, we'll load them onto the ship and then leave him all alone in his beloved ocean" Mr. Oliver sneered. "Hey guys, I'm almost there and I think I see the ship. It's huge! Hope I find those treasure chests." "You'd better.....I mean, you will."

"Yes, I'll hold."

"Seriously?"

The two corrupt businessmen did not notice the dolphin jumping out of the water by their boat. He heard everything. Dolphins are highly intelligent mammals and apparently they have the latest iPhones. Speaking in a language that only other dolphins could understand, a plan was made to save Nick Neptune.

"Jackpot! I found the ship! I'm going to go investigate the wreckage and see if I can find any treasure." Nick swam around the ship which was in pretty good shape considering it sunk over 100 years ago. After more investigating, Nick finally found what he was looking for....the treasure chest! Wait a second, make that treasure chests. There were gold coins everywhere.
