The Sunshine and Tan Lines (http://webapps.prod.there.com/eventmgmt/fulltextsearch?Fulltext=sun) event kicks off next*week in the 3-D virtual world There promoting fun summer activities to do with friends online while beating the heat in real life. This week we plan on highlighting*unique Summer Spots*you can visit in There (http://www.there.com). We’re on the hunt for the best virtual pools, hot tubs, swimming holes and beaches*that*inspire that carefree summertime feeling when*hanging out with friends.

While exploring the waterways of the Fantasy Island Neighborhood (http://webapps.prod.there.com/funzone/funzone?op=view&id=18901999), we stumbled upon a beautiful waterfall spanning the length of the water channel. Upon closer inspection, we discovered*the entrance to an underwater cave*on top of the falls and couldn’t resist taking the plunge into the underwater environment (http://webapps.prod.there.com/funzone/funzone?op=view&id=19973773).

If you have never had the opportunity to swim in the ocean in There, this is your chance to experience *a unique and serene underwater world. As you walk down through the entrance to the cave and submerge your avatar underwater, the tranquility and beauty of the sea life below inspires a sense of calm and relaxation.

A blanket of*colorful shells and*bottom dwelling sea creatures span the sandy floor of the cavern. Large schools of fish dart back and forth around your head with a nervous energy.**Up close the water is a calm and tranquil shade of blue, but off in the distance it grows dark and murky. You can make out large shadows*slowly gliding*through the water. The curious movements draw you to the back of the cavern. A*shipwreck from long ago dots the underwater landscape. The amount of bountiful booty strewn about in broken chests is a treasure hunter’s dream.

The calming effects of the underwater environment give*off*a sense of safety as you*explore*deeper*towards the back of the cavern. Camouflaged in the drifting beds of kelp, giant avie-eating sharks lurk waiting for the next unsuspecting swimmer.

Luckily we don’t have Health in There (http://www.there.com), because otherwise it would be*GAME OVER for any Avie brave enough to swim through these shark infested waters without a safety cage.

In addition to great white sharks and schools of fish, there are several mystical creatures who inhabit the underwater environment as well. We encountered beautiful mermaids, a shy*water dragon and a very friendly octopus in our exploration under the sea.

Take the plunge and explore the amazing and unique*Underwater Environment (http://webapps.prod.there.com/funzone/funzone?op=view&id=19973773) created by Lynn_2. We highly recommend visiting*this one of a kind Summer Spot in There! If you are not a strong swimmer, we suggest using a flotation device and the buddy system to*avoid being shark bait.
