>Listen carefully, but don't slow down.

>You keep your ears as open as you can, whilst kicking down at the same speed.
>You don't hear anything else; but that initial sound isn't leaving you.

>After a few seconds, you reach the book.

>Take one quick look to see if we can see where the sound is coming from. If it isn't urgent or pointless, surface before taking a closer look.

>You quickly glance round to see where the sound is coming from; but it seems to have faded the further down you went.
>You pick up the book and begin swimming back to the surface.
>The sound has completely stopped now...
>As you swim back up, you notice the walls have slightly changed colour too; they look green.

>What. Try again for a few seconds just to be sure - not too long since we're timed.

>What were the other passageways like? Any other ways out? If nothing seems obvious, head in the direction of the voice.

You think there might be another attachment in there?

>Flick through the pages, see if we can find the other amulet because we really really need it
>If no luck, check around the floor of this area to see if it's lying around.

>Back on track!
>You flick through the pages as quickly as you can; anything to free yourself from this.
>Nothing catches your eye as you near the end of the book...
>WAIT!
>Something slips out of your sight; something that looked exactly like the amulet you currently have.

>GRAB IT, USE IT

>You swing for the amulet and miss it as your body moves in a direction you hadn't intended.
>You let some air out as a result.
>Closing your mouth before anything attempts to flood in, you reach out again and grab the amulet.
>With both in the same hand, you punch upwards and feel something break instantly.
>Your body moves deeper underwater from the force, but you just know the barrier has broken.

>However, you dropped the book in the process.
