Illustration: Off a Japanese fishing coast, a scuba diver hovers just above the sandy bottom of the sea. Their fin lifts a small puff of sediment, revealing how close the solid ground lies beneath them. Shells, low rocks, and a half-buried old anchor rest on the bottom, while fish swim higher in the water.
