Nice to see the girls back in their natural environment! Some times and depths would be appreciated as the contest plays out...

Great stuff. It would seem that Saki, even with incredible talent, did not undergo Aya and Chihaya's intense training formed by Eri's and Ken's expertise and helpfulness, the result being her falling behind in the early going.

I’m surprised that Saki made such a rookie mistake. None of the girls can really afford assumptions with as deep as they’re planning, and any preconception about their opponents (especially considering who their opponents are, and the experiences with them in the past), is an excellent way to end up drowned. Still, it’s hard to imagine any of the divers having an outright speed advantage here, so everything should even out.
Side note: keep up the internal commentary! It’s a fantastic way to illustrate what each diver is feeling or focusing on, even if the only thing on their mind is: “don’t breathe; keep up speed; where’s the dive-line; etc.”
