The girl diver explored the deep seas for hours, admiring the colorful fish and sea anemones. She suddenly saw a large jelly fish with long tentacles swimming towards her. She quickly swam towards it, but the jelly fish slowly swam away. She continued to explore the sea, but she never saw the jelly fish again. This is a pair of paintings (Diver 1 and Diver 2). This painting is part of the series of swimmers and divers for which Phillip started to develop an affinity to water and skylines.
