It was a bright morning in Adventure Bay, and Zuma was wagging his tail excitedly by the dock. “Today’s gonna be awesome!” he barked. Ryder had called him in for a special mission—Captain Turbot had spotted something shiny beneath the surface near Seal Island.
“Zuma,” Ryder said, “we need you to dive down and check it out. It might be a piece of old shipwreck—or something that doesn’t belong in the ocean.”
“You got it, Ryder! Let’s dive in!” Zuma cheered, hopping into his hovercraft.
As Zuma sped across the water, he looked down at the sparkling sea. The water was calm, the sky was clear, and the seagulls called out overhead. When he reached the spot near the island, he put on his diving helmet and slipped into the water with a splash.
Beneath the waves, everything was quiet and peaceful. Colorful fish darted past coral reefs, and seaweed swayed gently in the current. Then he saw it—a shiny object stuck between two rocks.
“Hmmm, what’s this?” Zuma wondered. He swam closer and realized it wasn’t treasure—it was a large metal ring tangled in fishing line. “This could be dangerous for the sea creatures,” he said. “Time to clean up!”
Just as Zuma began untangling the line, he heard a squeaky noise behind him. Turning around, he saw his friend Wally the walrus—caught in a plastic net!
“Oh no! Hang tight, Wally—I’m coming!” Zuma darted over and used his rescue scissors to carefully cut the net. Wally gave a happy bark and nuzzled Zuma’s helmet in thanks.
Zuma led Wally back to safety and then returned to finish freeing the metal ring. He brought it back to the surface, where Ryder was waiting with Rocky. “Great job, Zuma!” Ryder said. “Rocky can recycle this, and Wally is safe thanks to you.”
That evening, Captain Turbot invited everyone to a sunset picnic by the water. “To Zuma,” he said, “for keeping our oceans clean and our sea friends safe!”
Zuma blushed and gave a proud bark. “Just doing my duty! Nothing beats a good splash and a rescue!”
As the sun dipped below the waves, Zuma looked out at the sparkling sea and smiled.
