An underwater photo position I don't want

During a trip to the Yingdong Natatorium to cover a water polo game, I had a little surprise when my helpers started to take me to the underwater shooting position.
If you have been looking at our photo galleries you'll know that I did make the trip to the viewing area - and I did make another stop along the way too!
