Her grand father could build anything - 'As long as it was fast.'
Her Father's dream was for whatever his daughter Kayla wanted and Kayla wanted nothing more than to explore.
Every excuse at their weekender Kayla would be immersed into the ocean, whether it be a boogie board or her dad's chopped-in-half surf board.
Kayla enjoyed nothing more than holding her breath and seeing what was "underneath".

'There's a whole world down here and I know there's a tonne more.'
The Father would be listening with fish over a fire.
Kayla had only great memories of her Grand Father having her in his arms on an airfield and all talking about this and that when a large open trailer of glass aircraft noses followed by another large open trailer of machine guns and how her Grand father would protect her from seeing the latter by swinging her around and turning her upside down. She would squeal with delight.
KAYLA
'What are they pops?'
GRAND FATHER
'Oh I don't know, what do you think they are?'
Still gently swinging her around and cradling her head.

'They look like glass cups.'

'No, they are glass shells from a not yet discovered rare tortoise.'
Some of the Pilots smirked, the others, engineers just went wide-eyed at her imagination.
Kayla has grown up and now lives at their weekender and - 'Lives below the water surface more than above.' Her father would often say.
The Father is a welder and semi retired although his work load seems to have increased.
His love for boats; especially ones built for speed have more often than not gotten him in trouble.

There is a "wreck" on the shore line just along from her "weekender" property given to her by her father.
She couldn’t hold her breathe for long so she would fashion-herself a make-shift tube to “extend” her snorkel.
As she dived, the trillions of bubbles made their way around her and she went towards the rocks.
The currant was going out so it was the perfect time to go rock cliff discovering.

The Great Grand Father is responsible for the wreck and that’s why Kayla’s Father has weekender there.
Her wish is to live underwater.
She has the resources.
