The sea otter paddled strongly through the choppy waves of the South Pacific on her back, floating every once in a while to catch her breath and gather some nourishing sunshine into her body, before starting off again once she got her bearings.

She was just off the coast of Tahiti Iti, or "little Tahiti", the smaller of the two islands that made up her home in Maui Beach in the French Polynesian islands. The beach was said to have been formed from the footprint of the god Maui as he stood on the sand and caught the sun with a strand of his sister Hina's silky hair, and it was because of this that the days were longer here.

Of course, Leilani Perierre didn't believe in the legends passed down for centuries by her lutrai ancestors. She did, however, believe the story she'd overheard at a beach-side tavern, a conversation between a group of four wolves resting after a tired day of recreational scuba-diving on the reefs. One of the wolves had spotted by flashlight far below them a large bed of black-lipped oysters that more than likely produced rare, exotic black pearls. At such an extreme depth, they couldn't possibly be cultured or farmed by the locals, so these were completely natural, which meant they didn't belong to anyone. If this was true, then it was one of the best finds ever.

The divers, even equipped with scuba gear, were unable to reach the treacherous depths where the oysters lay, at least 300 feet deep. Only a skilled diver, they had said, with the proper equipment could ever hope to reach the bed, gather oysters, and return to the surface unharmed.

It was a beautiful day and the clear blue sky reflected into the aquamarine world below her. Leilani loved diving more than anything. She enjoyed the solitude and the silence of the deep. It met some intrinsic need within her, and on more than a few occasions she had sought the deepest depths for pleasure as well as exploration. The intense pressure of the deep surrounding her body always made her slightly euphoric and ripe with lust, and she would spend several minutes underwater, working her lithe body into a frenzy, until she could climax and offer her gift to the sea.

The thought of being considerably deeper than she normally would go excited her again, and she stopped to float on her back once more, dipping a webbed paw between her legs and worrying her swollen folds with eager digits. She bit at her lip, trying to hold back her excitement, and to remind herself that diving for an untold ransom in black pearls was still very much at the forefront of her mind.

Soon she came to the top of a large reef the divers from the tavern had mentioned and carefully climbed up so as to not disturb the corals and various shellfish that dwelled within the rock. As she got to the top where she could stand on tiptoes, she looked down into the water and drew several deep breaths, emptying and refilling her lungs. She reached to her waist and re-cinched her only real article of clothing - a leather-strapped sheath around her thigh, holding a sharp diving knife.

When she felt ready, she drew several more deep breaths into her lungs, held her arms above her head, and executed a perfect dive, slicing into the water. As she swam towards the seabed far below, her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the deep water, and she soon saw an iridescent glow coming out of the depths that could only be nacre on oyster shells. She smiled and plunged ahead, kicking her legs, propelling herself deeper and deeper, farther than she normally would go for just a casual swim, or a romantic encounter.

The pressure of the water seized her body and held her in a velvety, cool, yet tight grip, as if trying to squeeze out the stored air in her lungs, and she burbled her pleasure, swiping a paw across her bare breasts. Fantasizing must wait, she admonished herself as she neared the seabed. She was far too deep to stay down for more than a few minutes at a time, and the intense pressure was already making her slightly light-headed. At best, she could make three, maybe four, dives before her body would demand at least an hour's rest.

She was underwater quite a long time before she finally reached the seabed and knelt in the soft sand. For a moment, she stayed still, closed her eyes, and steadied her heart-beat. When she opened them again, her vision had adjusted and wasn't blurred anymore. Confident she wasn't feeling serious pressure on her lungs, the sea otter pushed off the bottom and swam slowly to the first row of gleaming oysters encased in crusted coral and rock.

They are natural, alright, she thought. She hoped to find at least one or two black pearls, but knew that the odds were against her. One black pearl, naturally produced, was worth hundreds of thousands of normal pearls, because only one in 15,000 black-lipped oysters actually produced one.

Leilani knelt before the first of many oysters and noticed the dark protrusions around the mollusk's shells that signified it was indeed a_Pinctada margaritifera,_ and there appeared to be at least a hundred of them. Reaching for the knife at her thigh, the pearl diver floated down until she could grasp the coral, and started to work, hacking away at the crusted rock surrounding the oyster.

The first oyster took a lot of time to free from its rocky prison, and by the time the sea otter had freed it and could examine it closely in her paws, she'd already been on the ocean floor about five minutes. She opened the first oyster eagerly and swiped at the meat inside, feeling around for anything firm. There was nothing there. Undaunted, Leilani returned the oyster to its spot and did her best to cover it with some protective rocks. Then she floated to the next oyster.

Tirelessly, the diver stayed on the bottom of the sea, hacking free a few more oysters with her knife and opening them up carefully, revealing either oyster meat, or the very tiny beginnings of a pearl's life, which she left alone. Every so often, there was a tickle in her chest, a subtle reminder that as much as she longed for the undersea world, she couldn't stay within it forever. She blew a few settling bubbles from her lips to calm her aching lungs, and reached for one more oyster to check.

This one had a larger pearl than the others, about 10 millimeters in diameter, and she took it. The strain on her lungs was now difficult to ignore, and she still had a long, long swim back to the surface, which would take another minute or two. The sea otter floated away from the seabed, re-sheathed her knife, and pushed off the sandy bottom, heading back up with slow, practiced ease, exhaling a little of her air as she went. She knew the dangers of deep-water diving like this. If she surfaced too fast, or forgot to exhale at all, she risked a blackout, or worse.

After what seemed an eternity, her head broke the surface, and she let out a loud gasp as her stale lungs took in fresh, salty sea air once more. The sea otter rolled over onto her back and rested, panting.

"You know better than that, otter," she growled. She looked carefully at the pearl she'd gotten from the depths. It was very dark grey, and was slightly misshapen, not quite a full circle. It was certainly not a vast treasure, but she thought it would make a darling earring.

When she was ready to make another dive, Leilani tucked the pearl away inside a crevice of the reef she was diving from, then climbed back up to the top, filled her lungs, and executed another perfect arching dive into the depths below.

She was underwater quite longer this time, and when she again returned to the surface, she was badly out of breath and trembling. But she had found two more pearls, one slightly larger than her first, in an iridescent green and the third, a startlingly deep and nearly black purple, roughly the same size. From the quality of the pearls she was finding, it was obvious the seabed was quite recently-created, and it would take a long time for the oysters to mature. Rather than risk damaging the ecosystem on the bottom, the sea otter decided on her next dive to allow the seabed of oysters to mature, and she would explore the rest of the reef instead. Perhaps she would even find some sustenance, or if she were bold enough, she could brace herself against the rocks and pleasure herself.

For a third time, she climbed the reef, drew in several deep breaths, and dove. This time it was not as perfect or as powerful a dive, so she had to expend a lot more energy swimming down to the bottom. Another disadvantage to her was that the sun was no longer as high in the sky, and its light wasn't penetrating the depths as easily, making the water murkier.

As Leilani swam around the seabed, she noticed a few other black-lipped oysters roughly half the size of the ones she'd been finding that had broken away from the protecting coral and now lay in the sand, sure to die. She swam down and collected them carefully, then returned them one by one to the seabed, doing her best to surround them in rocks and crust.

Perhaps she had saved them for now. She knew oftentimes oysters like these, not securely fastened to the reef, were quickly eaten by the other denizens of the deep. The pearl diver took a moment to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the ocean bottom, and then pushed off with a webbed foot to start the long, arduous swim back to surface - only to find her ascent arrested, and her body pulled back down.

She looked below her and saw the trouble. Her thick ruddertail had gotten caught between some of the large rocks. Leilani quickly took out her knife and hacked at the rock holding her tail, trying to ignore the steady bursts of bubbles escaping her. She'd been underwater way too long now.

By the time she had worked her tail enough to come free from the rocks, her lungs felt like they were on fire. Expelling the rest of her air in a huge rush to relieve them, the sea otter started stroking for the surface so far away. But even as she swam up, she could feel the cold depths tighten around her, trying to hold her down. Her legs kicked wildly in vain, trying to gain some sort of upward momentum.

She suddenly knew, with terror in her heart, she would never make it.

She would drown...

Turquoise swam through the scenic depths, admiring the myriad colors of coral reefs, kelp forests, and sea-beds and rocky plateaus along the bottom. She was thoroughly enjoying her holiday in the warm Pacific waters around Tahiti Iti. An Atlantic white-sided dolphin-canine mix by nature, she didn't often get the chance to discover the other mighty oceans around the world. A trip to the French Polynesian islands, with its relaxed, laid-back lifestyle and the amazing scenery, was just the sort of respite she was looking for.

As she swam through the clear blue waters, she thought about her encounter the night before with a handsome wolf named Thomas, whom she'd met on Maui Beach the same day of her arrival. He'd been fun, a little wild and passionate in bed, but too clingy for her taste. The next morning, he'd practically begged her to come with him today to visit the local waterfall, and have sex underneath it like lovers. Turquoise had declined. She was glad for the hook-up, and he had been very giving, but the dolphin-girl didn't want any sort of commitment for the duration of her holiday. She had three weeks in paradise, and she wanted to savor every minute of it, preferably on her own.

A burst of bubbles came from her mouth in a giggle. She had seen him several minutes ago on the beach as it so happened, out of the corner of her eye, striking up a conversation with another pretty dolphin and trying to convince her to join him for some fun at that same waterfall.

She stopped along the bottom and poked her long beak at a large oyster nestled in the golden sand. The water here was amazing, clear, and warm even at this great depth, so different from her grey, icy waters back home. She ran a hand over her thigh, having felt a stray strand of sea-grass brushing across her lime green bikini and white and grey skin, and cleared a long white mane of hair from around deep blue eyes to look around her once more, immediately noticing a plume of bubbles coming from along a sea-bed close by.

Earlier she had been aware of a pretty, native girl of the islands diving off a reef far from the shore. Turquoise was curious and had watched the naked, brown-furred beauty make deep dives towards the sea-bed on the ocean floor, marveling in the sea otter's breath-holding ability as she spent several minutes at a time collecting and opening shells, before pushing off and swimming powerfully back up for air. The dolphin had been idly interested in whatever the otter was looking for, and thought once or twice of swimming over and introducing herself. But she was enjoying the sea otter's private swim too much to interfere. When at last she had pushed off again to return to the surface, Turquoise had turned away to continue exploring, fascinated by the variety of exotic sea life around her.

Now she had seen the bubbles again, and wondered if the sea otter had returned. Another dive so soon?_she thought as she swam towards the sea-bed. _She must have incredible lung power. She herself could stay underwater only about ten minutes at a time between breaths, but she could make infinite dives, never needing to rest and sooth her lungs, and she was concerned about the girl. Diving this far down, and staying down as long as the sea otter had, holding her breath, was intense. After all, she wasn't a dolphin.

As Turquoise reached the sea-bed, her long, powerful bladed tail slashing, she saw that she had had reason to be concerned after all. The sea otter was struggling against the deep, weakly kicking while waving her arms in panic. Turquoise, with her firm understanding of multi-species physiology and her own medical training, realized the girl was in severe trouble.

Quickly she swam up to the sea otter in peril and wrapped her arms around the diving girl's waist, propelling them up quickly towards the surface. She glanced at her face and saw that her eyes were closed, her mouth slightly parted. Instinctively, she pushed her mouth up against the girl's in a kiss and blew a little of her stored air into the sea otter's lungs, praying she would recover.

Beautiful sea-green eyes fluttered open to look into hers, and at first she struggled, not understanding what was happening. Turquoise shook her head and with the international diving symbol for "up", pointed her dewclaw upwards. The sea otter seemed to understand and stopped fighting. The dolphin embraced her tightly again around the waist, and with strong rhythmic thrusts of her powerful tail, forced them upwards to the surface. Her strength was such, that even supporting a barely-conscious sea otter, the dolphin-canine hybrid was able to breach the water three times as fast as the otter even on her best day.

As they surfaced coughing and gasping, Turquoise expertly slapped the sea otter's back a few times, ensuring that any water she may have swallowed was expelled.

When Leilani had finally gotten her breath back, she spoke for the first time. "Th-thank you, miss."

Turquoise grinned and blushed slightly, realizing the girl was pressed naked and warm against her. "Don't thank me yet. Let's get back to shore, okay? I saw a tiny atoll not far from here." She shifted Leilani until she could float on her back and rest, then swam up beneath the sea otter and held her against her body, her forearms around Leilani's waist, and headed for shore.

Too exhausted to move, Leilani allowed the stranger to take charge. While it was entirely out of character for her to request assistance from any of the tourists, so was her own lack of foresight and time management. She knew she was very fortunate this girl - a cute one at that - came by when she did, or Leilani would not be surfacing for a long time, if ever.

When they reached the shore, the waves pushed them onto the tiny, deserted beach. Leilani recognized it as one of the inaccessible ones that could only be approached by water and had no landward entry. Not that she really cared where she was right now. It was just nice to know that she was noticing things and therefore still alive.

"Are you okay?" Turquoise asked as she collapsed next to the sea otter and panted, exhausted from the hard swim. "I'm Turquoise, by the way."

The otter struggled up to her elbows and nodded with a soft smile. "Very happy to meet you, obviously, Turquoise. My name is Leilani. And thank you again, for saving me..."

The light, short white fur that covered Turquoise's face couldn't camouflage the blush that reddened her pale dolphin flesh. "Maybe you should rest up some. I'll build a little fire for us, and maybe get some fish. We probably both need to get warmed up and gather our strength to swim back." She got up, averting her eyes politely as the naked girl brushed wet sand from her bare breasts, and gathered some driftwood scattered around the beach.

Leilani seemed content to watch the dolphin-girl curiously as she moved from spot to spot. The strange dolphin hybrid girl interested her immensely. She was elegant, if compact, a couple inches shorter than the sea otter's five-foot-six height, but by no means weaker. Her energy and bubbly attitude was infectious and she found herself smiling in contentment. By the time Turquoise returned with wood for the fire, Leilani also noticed the other girl's ingenuity. From a small pocket in her lime-green short-shorts, she watched her remove a waterproof case that held a room key-card, a book of matches, and some hard candies.

The dolphin handed a cinnamon-flavored candy to Leilani with a grin. "Try one of these, Leilani. You never know when you need a quick pick-me-up." The sea otter gave the candy a curious sniff, then popped it into her mouth to chew. "No, no, suck on it!" Turquoise giggled. "That's the whole point, make it last."

Leilani nodded and sucked slowly on the candy, moving it from cheek to cheek with her tongue, as Turquoise put some rocks in a circle and dug out the sand, then added the kindling - small branches, some dried seaweed, and other dry items - that soon caught fire. Then she carefully added the wood in a triangle formation and a warm, cozy flame soon lit up the beach.

The sea otter smiled as the fire roared to life and then churred softly, touching the dolphin's arm. "Wait here." She got up from the sand, and again the dolphin couldn't help but stare at the nude, lithe island beauty as she padded to a nearby stand of coconut trees and began to climb up one of them, holding her knife in her teeth. Turquoise watched, fascinated, as the sea otter moved about half-way up the tree, and then stabbed down into something hanging from it. As it fell, the otter reached up and swung her knife at a few low-hanging coconuts until they too fell to the sand. Then she watched the sea otter climb back down and gather up the items, then return.

"Coconuts and a small coconut crab. They should sustain us for some time," she said as she returned and knelt close to Turquoise. "Have you ever tasted fresh coconut?"

"I sure haven't." The dolphin watched, realizing she was greatly aroused now. The sight of the wet, naked diving girl, with long raven hair, deep brown fur, and the darkest of green eyes, made her suddenly wish they were back in the water again. As they had swum to shore together, she'd been aware of her warmth atop her back, voluptuous breasts pressed against her fur, legs and arms wrapped around her, clinging.

Leilani smiled at her and dug her knife into the hard shell until at last it started to break free. When it was finally open, she offered a piece of firm coconut, drenched in juices. Then she arranged the crab on one of the glowing sticks in the fire, and cooked it in the shell.

Turquoise watched her and uncomfortably swiped at her bikini top as another wave of warmth swept through her - and not from the fire. "You know..." she started to say, curling herself up until she was lightly touching the other girl. "We...might have to...um...stay the night here. The sun's already down a bit." God, why am I so horny?

She had been with a few other girls in her time but nowhere near the beauty nor grace of the diving girl. Now, pressed up against her, enjoying the fire and a meal of crab and coconut, Turquoise felt an enormous crush building within her. Clearing her throat, she tried to fight her feelings. "I mean...if...if...you want to."

Leilani brought her head up to Turquoise's and the two touched noses. "All that diving took much energy. I think it is best, yes. We should stay here, and swim out in the morning." She looked up at the sun starting to set. "I know where we are. We can reach Maui Beach in just a little over an hour." Her webbed paw came down and touched Turquoise's thigh, and yet another jolt of electric warmth ran through the dolphin. "We could dive for a bit as well. You seemed as interested in the sea-bed as I."

Turquoise grinned and her hand came down atop of the sea otter's. "I'd love it. Does that mean I get to save you again?"

Now it was Leilani's turn to flush, and only her dark fur hid how hot and bothered she was getting. The thought of the dolphin kissing her, giving her new life as they swam up, was impossible not to think about. "I will try not to get into trouble," she giggled, tucking a paw between her thighs. She was so hot and wet down there, she realized.

"Awww," the dolphin teased, laughing. "So no more kisses? I'm hurt."

Leilani bit at her bottom lip. "If you want to...we can..." Then she looked into the dolphin's blue eyes and her smile filled the whole world. "I like you..." She leaned forward in the sand and kissed the dolphin's mouth gently.

Turquoise blushed hard and looked away. "I like you too..." Her nipples were now fully aroused beneath the bikini, and they stood out like thick points. Trying to do anything to change the topic of sexual attraction, she countered, "But I don't like you diving down so deep and staying underwater so long. What's so important down there anyway?"

"I was searching for more of these." Leilani reached into the small knife sheath and withdrew the three pearls she had found.

Turquoise was immediately hooked. "Wow. Are those, like, natural pearls?"

Leilani nodded and took one of them, the dark purple one, and placed it in her hand. "Yes. And I shall find more for you."

"What?! No...Leilani, I couldn't. These are so valuable!"

But the sea otter shook her head. "If it were not for you, I would be dead. I am sure these are of great worth where you come from. Please take it. I want you to have at least one."

"I don't know, Leilani." She sighed, stunned this lovely creature would want to give her a gift like this. "I just feel...like..." How did she feel? She felt like she could stay on this island forever suddenly, and that both she and the beautiful sea otter could swim every day, and sleep together every night in the warm sand. They could become great friends, and they could...

Before she realized she was doing it, her mouth was upon the sea otter's and kissing her back, and she was inwardly joyful when Leilani's kiss deepened and their tongues started to explore one another's mouths slowly, eagerly.

By the time the kiss ended, both of them were breathless and hot. Turquoise smiled and undid her bikini top, while Leilani helped remove her shorts, and soon they were both wrapped around one another naked in the sand.

**

Morning found them entwined in each other's arms. They'd hollowed out two beds in the sand near the fire and had slept soundly and happily. As they awakened, fresh arousal washed over them, and they satisfied their lusts once more, taking turns nuzzling each other's breasts, slowly kissing and licking nipples. When their passions reached their zeniths, they finally buried their muzzles between thighs and engaged in hungry licks and nips at one another's swollen mons for what seemed like hours, ending in multiple orgasms and messy gushings across both their faces.

As the sun rose higher into the sky, they waded into the warm waters of the Pacific together and lazily swam back towards Maui Beach. As they went, Turquoise playfully brushed across the sea otter's nude body side to side, darting down and coming up underneath her at times, giving her a back-ride.

She had to admit this was now one of the best vacations of her life.

"Leilani?" she asked as they swam. "Would you...um...like to maybe...stay with me at the hotel for a few days? Enjoy some hospitality care of Vanira Lodge? They have an awesome pool there..."

The sea otter stopped swimming, treading water and smiling. "Of course..." She then gulped in a deep breath before suddenly plunging down.

"Leilani?!" Turquoise gasped, and then sucked in breath and dove down after her. She spotted the girl gliding effortlessly through the depths until she arrived at a beautiful, shallow reef, then turned around with her back to it and motioned to the dolphin to approach her, holding her arms out.

The two entwined in the depths in bubbly kisses until both needed air again and surfaced. "God, warn me when you're going to do that, otter." Turquoise laughed as she caught her breath, and Leilani was again soon wrapped around her in need.

After a brief rest, the two dove down again to satisfy their lusts once more.

Leilani, true to her word, stayed with Turquoise for a few days, and the girls happily enjoyed that time together shopping and sight-seeing on the island, making love in the sweet ocean swells, and falling asleep nestled in Egyptian cotton.

For Turquoise, it was certainly the best vacation of her life, and she was already making plans to timeshare by the time she and the sea otter said goodbye at the airport.

She would definitely return soon.
