Deep diving of landlubber

If you are a landlubber who just wants to be a mermaid, this article is written for you.

I like to watch travel programs, and sometimes introduce island tours. I see the host playing crazy on the island: blue sky, sea, beach, coconut trees, delicious seafood, and charming beautiful girls and handsome guys. My body is not far away, and my heart has moved. Diving is one of the water events of island tour, which is divided into snorkeling and deep diving. Snorkeling, wear a mask and breathing tube, float on the water and watch the beautiful scenery of the seabed from a distance. Deep diving is a little more complicated than snorkeling. You need to learn some diving skills to dive to the bottom of the sea, dance with colorful tropical fish, swim with lovely turtles, and maybe have a close contact with sharks. I had a wonderful snorkeling experience in Sabah, Malaysia, which made me especially look forward to a deep diving experience. When I was traveling in Lanyu, Taiwan Province, I immediately signed up for a deep diving project.

if you can't swim like me, you can also dive. Just wear a life jacket for snorkeling, but you can't wear a life jacket for deep diving (you can't sink if you wear it), but don't worry, there will be a coach to protect you at any time. As long as you follow the coach's arrangement, deep diving is safe. I have never been diving deeply, influenced by various aesthetic tourism festivals, dreaming of diving deep into the sea, swimming happily like a mermaid.

Although deep diving is not a very dangerous sport, people who dive for the first time must know some diving tips before going into the water. The first is the gesture. Under the water, the coach will take you down bit by bit. If you feel uncomfortable during the sinking, congratulations, you are in good health and can continue to dive. At this time, you should make an "OK" gesture. The "good" gesture that we are used to is a thumbs-up gesture, which means upward in diving language. The deeper you dive, the greater the water pressure, which may lead to discomfort. When you feel uncomfortable, you must communicate with the coach in time. The gesture that you feel wrong is to open your palm and sway slightly from side to side, and the coach will take you up immediately.

second, you must learn to balance the ear pressure, which is very important underwater. Generally, people's ears often feel pain at three meters underwater because of the water pressure. At this time, ear pressure must be balanced immediately. Ear pressure balance can relieve ear discomfort. The specific method is: directly through the diving mask, pinch the nose so that the nose can't breathe, and then blow hard into the ear to feel the tympanic membrane protruding. In water, if the ear hears the sound of "yi ~ yi ~", the ear pressure balance will be successful. At the same time, swallowing saliva can also relieve ear pain.

third, stay close to the coach. The bottom of the sea is another world, and many things are unpredictable. Although it's amazing to enter the underwater world for the first time, you must follow the coach's words. There are countless corals on the seabed, but not every kind of coral can be touched; There are also countless tropical fish groups on the seabed, some of which can be played near, while others can only be seen from a distance. The coach knows very well how to protect himself under the sea, so it's right to follow the coach!

after learning the diving tips, we can go into the sea! Good chicken jelly! \(≧▽≦)/

This time, the dive site in Lanyu is the sea area near Hongtou tribe. The diving method is shore diving, and it goes to the sea from the shore. Boat diving is another way of diving. Going out by boat and jumping into the sea in the middle of the endless sea sounds exciting! Personally, I think the difficulty coefficient of shore diving is lower, which is quite suitable for people who dive for the first time. The diving cost is NT$ 2,5, that is, RMB 5, including diving equipment and one-on-one coaching service. The average diving price in Taiwan Province is the same. Be sure to clean and debug the mirror before launching, otherwise the mirror will be blurred and you can't see the seabed clearly. The coach taught us to wash the mirror with our own saliva, which was disgusting, but this method was very practical.

The way of breathing in the sea is different from that on the shore. On the shore, we breathe with our noses, but in the sea, our noses are covered with masks, so we have to breathe with our mouths. The deep diving respirator is very important, through which the air in the oxygen tank can be used by us. The respirator is designed with a groove suitable for occlusion. Bite the groove of the respirator firmly with your teeth and wrap it tightly with your lips, so as to prevent seawater from entering your mouth. However, the problem is that the respirator has a certain weight. If you bite for a while, the muscles on your cheeks will be so sour that you won't bite so tightly, and seawater will immediately pour into your mouth from the gap. Later, I thought of a way to hold the respirator with my hand and let it fit my lips tightly, so that the situation of seawater pouring into my mouth was solved.

Before diving, I was looking forward to it. When I really walked into the sea and my feet couldn't touch the land, I was very scared. The whole person was immersed in the sea, and the sea surrounded me from all directions. The sound of the sea water in my ear was loud, and I didn't master how to breathe with my mouth. A sense of suffocation attacked me. I quickly gestured with the coach, and the coach immediately pulled me up. When my head came out of the sea and I could breathe, it was a relief to be rescued. Our party went deep diving, and there were always more than a dozen coaches. We watched our teammates and our coaches dive into the seabed one after another to explore the beautiful underwater world, while my coach and I practiced how to breathe again and again in the shallow water near the shore alone. Fortunately, the coach was patient and didn't bother me to learn slowly. Finally, after practicing for about half an hour, \ (o)/

The bottom of the sea is another world, with mountains, flat land, plants and animals. The coach took me down a little bit, while instructing me to look at the swimming fish with his hand. Those tropical fish are drilling around in the caves at the bottom of the sea. I hope to be closer to the fish, but I am helpless. As long as I dive a little deeper, my ears are very painful, so I can only look at them from a distance. There are countless corals in the sea, large and small, with different shapes and colors, and all the colors you can think of. I can only touch them when the coach signals me to touch them. Some corals look like human brains, and a little like pig intestines, which are still soft to the touch; Corals grow in water, but some of them look like dry trees and feel like burnt dry branches, which is amazing. It is very cold in the sea. Although the diving suit has the function of preventing cold, it has little effect. I didn't dive very deep. I basically wandered around 6 meters. I dived for a while, and I was shivering with cold. But I didn't want to rise because I finally dived down, so I had to endure. I dived to the deepest depth of 9 meters, and then I saw other members diving together, and finally found the organization! The photographer was with the big team, too. I kept gesturing at her to take pictures. I finally dived so deep, of course, I had to leave photos of my trip here. I also met my good friend Grace, who learned quickly and dived early. I was very happy to see her, so I gave her a high five and encouraged each other.

I thought the bottom of the sea would be dark, and I might need to bring a flashlight, but it's actually very bright, and the light can penetrate the sea surface and shoot into the bottom of the sea.

The above is a deep dive of a landlubber, with adventure, surprise, fear and courage. If you are wondering whether to try deep diving, try it, good luck to you! But I don't want to dive again. ：D
