Sailing through!
The Thames Barrier is a retractable barrier system that is designed to prevent the floodplain of most of Greater London from being flooded by exceptionally high tides and storm surges moving up from the North Sea. It has been operational since 1982. When needed, it is closed (raised) during high tide; at low tide, it can be opened to restore the river's flow towards the sea. Built approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) east of the Isle of Dogs, its northern bank is in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and its southern bank is in the New Charlton area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
In Japan, they call wheelchair accessibility "Barrier free". I haven't seen many people in wheelchairs in Japan. But in Okinawa I saw quite a few.
After the four compulsory dives, it's time for the more fun electives. Of course I've chosen Photography as mine but have also asked to do Underwater Naturalist so I can at least identify some of what I'm seeing and photographing. We've also moved to Saxon Reef which seems more abundant in marine life. My camera steams up half way through the dive so I'm gutted I don't manage to capture the White Tip Reef Shark ominously poised on the sand. The camera has a red filter which has restored the true colours of the reef.
Steve at the "end", Chapter 22:
An invisible barrier stopped him from stepping into the beyond. The end appeared to be reflective, like deep water on a still day. In the evening, the barrier appeared to be a grid of blackness crisscrossed with reflected white light. Steve teleported his diamond pickaxe out of inventory. Diamond was the hardest substance on his world. His diamond pickaxe had never failed him.

* Barries *
By Roberth Pinarete Villanueva.
I don't know how to say this right,
And the words got me choking,
I keep hitting this wall,
It's never gonna fall,
And we're still broken,
This Mountain we've been trying to climb,
It's never ending,
Just can't do nothing, gotta do something,
Cause if we don't open up our eyes,
We're just pretending,
Well there's a time for giving up,
Didn't wanna have to say it,
All we're doing is building walls,
And now there's too many barriers,
Here we are lying here,
It's our last final goodnight,
Just because it feels so good,
use pretending we're all right,
Too many locks , too many cries ,Too many tears ,too many lies
Too many barriers
just too many barriers.
Now we've been dragging this whole thing out,
But I can't wait any longer.
Our love's burning down,
Creeping in the doubt, we're not getting any stronger.
I hear you say that we're doing okay,
But, baby, I don't think so.
Just can't do nothing; gotta do something,
'Cause if I don't get into my car,
I won't go very far.
Well, there's a time for given up.
Didn't wanna have to say it.
All we're doing is building walls.
Now there's too many barriers.
Here we are, lying here.
It's our last final goodnight.
Just because it feels so good,
use pretending we're all right.
Too many locks, too many cries,
Too many tears , too many lies,
Too many barriers.
Just too many barriers
That we keep running into.
Been trying, but we just can't break through.
I know I'm gonna keep wishing I was with you,
But we just gotta stop...

More Jersey barriers are delivered. These'll stop a truck -- a colleague saw an out-of-control Escalade bounce off one.
