The water and currents are warm this far south in the Realms as you enter the water.  The sea floor is sandy and soft to the touch with very little cover for 50 feet around you.  The lagoon is about 20 feet deep under the Shoalrider's keel.

Varul decends into the warm water in relishes the feel of the rejuvenating sea water on and in him. He looks at the Capn and says "Shall we head on out."
