Detailed explanation-2: -During his sea journey, a great storm appears, and Jonah is thrown overboard and swallowed by a huge fish (or whale). He remains in the belly of the fish for three days and nights until he asks God for forgiveness. Jonah’s rescued and completes his mission in Nineveh with some reluctance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jonah only found himself in the middle of that churning sea because he tried to hide from God and avoid the task that God had given him. He thought that by getting on a ship to go the other way, he could circumvent the job he was meant to do. The lesson here is that you can’t hide from God.
