Flight 1 Lands

Flight 2 Lands

Zach & Brittnee get blessed currently in 1st place.

**Detour:** Pick a Pearl or Take a Trunk?

**Choice A:** *Pick a Pearl*
Teams would have to travel half a mile off shore in the open water where they have to dive beneath the waves to untie lines of pearl oyster shells. They then have to shuck open to find two red pearls. Once they've found the two pearls, they must swim over to an oyster farmer to receive their next clue.

**Choice B:** *Take a Trunk*
Teams would have to dive underwater, wearing special diving helmets, to look for a series of treasure trunks. They then have to take the trunk over to a submerged umbrella and unpack its contents, setting up an underwater picnic table to an underwater waiter's approval to receive their next clue.
