El: "Ξέρω ότι φοβάσαι," του είπε με κατανόηση.

El: Έβαλε τη μάσκα του και μπήκε στο νερό.
En: He put on his mask and entered the water.

El: Το καρδιοχτύπι του άρχισε να υποχωρεί όσο έβλεπε τα υπέροχα κοράλλια κάτω από την επιφάνεια.
En: His heartbeat began to subside as he saw the beautiful corals beneath the surface.

El: Ξαφνικά, σύννεφα άρχισαν να μαζεύονται στον ορίζοντα.
En: Suddenly, clouds started gathering on the horizon.

El: Η θάλασσα έγινε ανήσυχη.
En: The sea became restless.

El: Ο οδηγός της ομάδας τους κάλεσε να επιστρέψουν.

El: Ένιωθε ότι μπορούσε να αντιμετωπίσει την πρόκληση.
En: He felt he could face the challenge.

El: Με προσοχή, η ομάδα γύρισε στην παραλία.
En: With care, the group returned to the beach.

El: Ο άνεμος φυσούσε δυνατά, αλλά όταν έφτασαν στην ακτή, αισθάνθηκαν ασφαλείς.
En: The wind was blowing hard, but when they reached the shore, they felt safe.

El: Ο Niko χαμογελούσε.
En: Niko was smiling.

El: Επιτέλους, είχε καταφέρει να νικήσει το φόβο του.
En: Finally, he had managed to conquer his fear.

El: Καθώς ο ήλιος έδυε, ο Niko κοίταξε το Κόλπο των Κοραλλιών.
En: As the sun set, Niko looked at the Kolpos ton Korallion.

El: Ήταν όμορφα παρά τις δυσκολίες.
En: It was beautiful despite the difficulties.
