Honestly I don’t blame Jay. His dad was a broken man and a failure. He projected all those feelings into Jay and I think he tried to make him better than himself but saw that wasn’t working then he wanted Jay to be as broken as him? Or maybe to understand his love for the ocean and how broken everyone else was. To make himself not seem so much of a failure? Make society the bad guy not him.

Been forgetting to update here but it’s a bit of a tough read bc there are a lot of technical diving terms and scientific animal names I don’t know so it makes it hard to read. He’s finally caught in the whales mouth tho!!

Ok so ppl are pissed at Jay for something he did or did not do for his dad. Jay thinks fuck them and wants to prove to himself and others that he can dive this dangerous beach on his own without his “legendary dad.” His dad died of cancer like a hero taken too soon but obviously his dad was a SHIT dad and they fought about something but we don’t know what yet

So Jay’s dad is an alcoholic asshole but the dad is seen as a diving legend. Jay think ppl hate him for what he did to his dad and not helping him ease his pain? I wonder what that means. Jay seems like he’s prepping for the dive of his life maybe? Very very interesting hmmmm.
