Underwater carnival show [A'AC MAIN]

"Magnificent is the sea for land dweller to behold, safely from above. Witnessing the roaring waves eating away the shores ever so slowly, decade by decade... but nothing compares to the world beneath. The wonders of sunken temples of Ser'peruu."
 
Some random but relevant stuff from google.

 

ASSIGMENT
Day time: Day, reef zone.
Weather: Very windy above the water (see how strong waves look from below), fairly strong currents under water.
 
Surroundings: Temple of Ser'peruu (mixture of greek architecture, especially mozaics, aztec architecture, and good dose of reef. The reefs are mostly gardens and grown in pots, as you would on a dry land. The temple is not abandoned, it is fully operational facility, place of Ser'reuu's worship).
 
Allowed mounts: WoC only, water breathing ability requiered. (By default: Nagian uniconrs, saltwater ponies, Sava'aggan horses, Piscidity transmog, Leviatan's curse transmog. Others need to pay entry fee of  5βœͺ to get protective spell from naga.)


Poses: Be elgenat or wild. Both count. Any pose is allowed but don't forget you are under water. Everything kinda floats.

Nagian unicorns and Sava'aggans under water: They offer protection to handler of their choice. If your rider has a good relationships with their nagian or savaggan, no need to worry about breathing under water. 
Nagians and savaggans are able to stand in the water mass, as if water went solid under their hooves.
The nagian horn however is poorly visible under water. As glass or clear ice under water.

Land dwellers vs underwater: If your rider naturally cannot breath under water, or has no nagian or savaggan, you can either get some breathing device or pay 5βœͺ to get protective spell from naga. It will hover give you gills for the duration of the contest.
