The Last Adventure of Scuba Smurf

At long last on the 2nd of May 2013, Scuba Smurf finally got to go on a dive at ReefDoctor and here's what he got up to...


This is an anemone or as scuba smurf calls it, an underwater smurf berry bush. Though unfortunately these smurf berries sting as scuba smurf found out moments later....


Scuba smurf posing with his new pal Mr Wrasse though as always insisted on being in the centre of the shot, something Mr Wrasse was not happy about. This lead to a huge argument after the picture was taken which concluded with scuba smurf and Mr Wrasse going their separate ways.


Just in time for his Open Water lesson. Though I think he may find doing the mask removal skill quite difficult seeing as his mask is glued to his face...


Scuba smurf here clearly not paying attention to the demonstration as he instead decides to pose for a photo. Worst. Student. Ever.


After being kicked out of his open water class Scuba Smurf decided to head off for a bit of an explore. Firstly he came across Mr Snake Eel. Unfortunately Scuba Smurf mistook his spots for smurf berries and decided he was hungry. This ended up being a very embarrassing incident for both parties.


Here Scuba Smurf can be seen with Mr Electric Torpedo Ray having a snooze on a rock. Being Scuba Smurf and not afraid of anything, he wanted to get a photo as close to the ray as possible, deciding to climb on top of Mr Electric Torpedo Ray. Needless to say the results were, ahem, shocking. (Snigger).


Next up on Scuba Smurf's underwater adventure was a visit to Mr Pufferfish. Scuba Smurf spent the time jumping up and down waving his hands trying to get Mr Pufferfish to puff up just so he could burst him with a pin to see if he will fly off like a balloon deflating. Luckily Mr Pufferfish isn't afraid of anything except marmalade jam and so just swam off. Leaving Scuba Smurf disappointed and regretting his decision not to buy the selection of Malagasy Jams that were on sale in the village market.


"All this scuba diving is exhausting!" Thinks Scuba Smurf as he snuggles into a soft coral for a quick nap before continuing his adventure..


Not long afterward Scuba Smurf came across Mr Red Rhino Sea Star though found him extremely boring because, as we all know, sea stars talk verrrryyy slllooooowwwwlllyyyyyyyyyyy... Scuba Smurf didn't have time to hang around as he was low on Smurf Berry Air having used a lot up having that nap earlier!


On his way back to the boat Scuba Smurf came across Mr Peacock Mantis Shrimp. All was going well but then they got into an argument about who would win in a fight between a small plastic smurf that was made in china and a peacock mantis shrimp found in the waters off the coast of Madagascar. This ended with Scuba Smurf having his lights punched out of him from one of  Mr Peacock Mantis Shrimps infamously strong left hooks... Luckily Scuba Smurf doesn't bruise like a peach, unfortunately he does bruise like a smurf berry.


Next up, Scuba Smurf came across Mr Cuttle Fish who was tripping on some sea weed. He kept telling Scuba Smurf that it was so weird how long his tentacles were. Scuba Smurf quickly moved on...


Before ascending Scuba Smurf had to do a quick benthic survey along the reef. His results concluded that the reef was made up of a very disappointingly small amount of smurf berries.


His final spot of the day was Mr Crocodile Flathead who began discussing the underlying metaphors surrounding the brilliant Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Scuba Smurf, not being of a literate mind agreed that there were a lot of flies in Ifaty and that of course there must be one in charge, though he highly doubted his name was William. Buzz was a much better name for a fly, he concluded. 

At this point Scuba Smurf realised he was completely out of smurf berry air, which is a worry when your underwater and don't float. Fortunately for Scuba Smurf he realised that there were advantages to being a small plastic toy smurf in the fact that you don't have any lungs and therefore don't actually need to breath. So he just walked back along the sea bed to ReefDoctor hoping that  it was smurf berries for dinner... It's never smurf berries for dinner....
