Leap of Faith (of a cliff into the ocean)

I step up to the edge and look down. A faint breeze ruffles my bleach blond hair. I see the edge of the cliff twisting and  turning at different places.
"Come on Alyssa. My dad says from the water. I am scared to leap off an at least 17 feet high cliff into deep blue water below? fear washed over me. Of course i had done this before, but at different cliffs, this was a whole new one. I look down again into water. i saw where the water was deep or not. I backed up. then started running. at the edge of the cliff i leap off into the air. I crossed my arms around me and pointed my toes. I enjoyed the few blissful moments of being waitless and feeling the air rush around me. Then sun on back and the faint yells of my brother. I take a deep breath and fall.
then i feel gravity change as i dive into the water. the water rushes around me peacefully bubbles bursting by my finger tips. I open my eyes for a moment and see rocks with brightly colored shell scuttle around me and further i see as the light blue turn bottom as i go deeper into the water. my hair floats around me and i make my way up trying to reach the sunlight streaming in the water illuminating different parts of the blue world. I wish i could explore more but my breath takes over and i am forced up to where the water is warm and the green trees sway. I will see more of this blue bursting world later.
