| Summary: | |
| Two cousins are SCUBA diving in the tropics, but when it's time to head back to the surface for lunch, one cousin swims up to the surface quickly while the other cousin swims slowly. Within a few hours, the first cousin gets really sick while the other is fine. They don't know what made one of them sick, but as the ill cousin's symptoms get serious, they realize they need to do something fast. | |
