His short dark blue-black hair drifts upward and outward in the current, spreading loosely above his head as he hovers weightlessly in the water. His eyes are enormous and round and a vivid blue, wide open and staring directly at the viewer with an expression of pure open wonder, lips parted just barely, cheeks softly flushed pink against his pale skin. He wears a white button-up shirt that dissolves and blurs at the edges where the water moves through the fabric, its collar floating open loosely around his neck. His arms are spread wide to either side, reaching outward in the water. Around him, the sea is a brilliant saturated blue, clear and luminous, the light from above scattering down in soft diffused rays that catch the edges of everything and give the water a glowing, crystalline quality. Air bubbles of varying sizes drift upward all around him, round and glistening. Goldfish and koi in warm shades of orange,pink, and red drift through the upper part of the frame, their fins trailing softly as they pass. Closer to him, a small clownfish in vivid orange and white hovers just beside his arm, calm and unbothered. The whole scene is soaked in clean cool blue light, bright and gentle and completely still beneath the surface.
