Underwater photography in Phuket

After skydiving, I will continue to walk faster and faster on the way to finish my dream list. I plan to learn diving in September and June, and I will have time to feel the silence of the ocean in June and October.

If it had been before, I would have found a guide and read more than twenty articles first. After I had a general idea in my mind, I followed the guide according to my own situation. This time, I tried a thinking artifact, and the mind map made the work easier and clearer, just like taking a simple diving guide map.

1, organization choice: PADI (Professional Diving Coaches Association): Most of my friends are from PADI, and they have a good reputation. PADI is a professional association of diver coaches, with more than 133500 professionals in 80 countries and regions around the world. PADI diving license is recognized all over the world. It's like choosing a gang, which one to choose.

2.OW is the abbreviation of open water diver, and Chinese is the junior diver in open water. The diving depth is limited to18m. The study time is generally 4 days.

3.AOW is the abbreviation of senior open water diver, and Chinese is senior open water diver. The diving depth is limited to 30 meters. This course provides participants with different professional diving training, such as deep diving, boat diving, underwater sailing and night diving. Aow can only be tested after ow, and the learning time is 2 days. If you study with ow, it is 6 days.

1, OW course arrangement:

Day 1 day: After arriving at the dive school, watch the video from afternoon to evening, start learning the theoretical lessons of Units 1 to 5, and finish the exercises. You can study online in advance, and you will be exhausted on the first day of reading theory.

The next day: swimming training starts at the swimming pool at eight o'clock in the morning. The coach will take the students to complete swimming and floating skills until 12. Practice scuba skills in the swimming pool at 2 pm, and practice in the swimming pool with all the equipment. The end time depends on the learning progress.

Day 3: Get together at 7: 00 a.m. and complete two dives, that is, complete the swimming pool skills in the ocean. When it's finished, the coach will take you for a walk under the sea hhh. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I studied in the theory class and ended the theory class exam.

Day 4: Get together at 7: 00 a.m. to finish two dives. At noon 12, the whole ow course is over, and you can leave by boat in the afternoon.

2.AOW course arrangement:

Day 1 day: the theory class starts at 9: 00 in the morning, two dives are completed in the afternoon, and one night dive is completed in the evening.

7, buy a pair of diving socks, Taobao didn't buy it, and the frog webbed provided by the diving school may not fit;

8. Diving goggles are prone to fogging under water. Before entering the water, apply some soapy water. The shower gel used for baby bathing is better and does not hurt eyes.

9. Theoretically, a diver should be able to swim 200 meters with his bare hands or 300 meters with snorkeling tools, and stay on the water for 10 minutes, but in fact, he can learn to dive without swimming, so don't worry about whether he can swim. The key is not afraid of water;

3. Book a hotel online, and you need to book it in advance in the peak season;

4. Buy diving supplies;

5. Learn theory lessons at home;

6, apply for a visa, exchange foreign currency, do a raiders, don't do it for a high-quality experience;
