Wading out after him, Maea nodded. She'd heard about the crystal from someone who'd seen it work, so perhaps she trusted it a bit more, but there was still a niggling doubt left in her.

The instinct to hold her breath was immense, and the natural resistance against letting water into the lungs made her shoot back to the surface again.

"You're gonna have to hold me down," she told him, grim faced. "Until I have no choice but to breathe in under there."
Basically... until she either began to drown, or the pearl began to work.
