Why is diving more and more sought after by people?

It's midsummer, and the hot weather and sinister sunshine firmly surround the people who plan to go outdoors in the air-conditioned room. In the hottest July of the year, the most relaxing exercise is undoubtedly water sports. The swimming pool bears the brunt and is a summer resort in this season, but the surrounding environment is like cooking jiaozi, which can't make people enjoy themselves. At this time, have you ever thought about swimming out of the pool and swimming to the wider world?

Among many water sports, diving is very popular in summer as a sport that integrates tourism, entertainment, extreme sports and other elements. In Changzhou, although diving is still in the primary stage of development, there are many loyal fans. In this regard, the reporter interviewed the summer diving market in our city.

Diving is safer than football.

"Nowadays, diving is considered as a sport that can relieve stress, and it is becoming more and more popular. Underwater, you don't have to think about what was discussed at today's meeting, how much work is still unfinished, or what unpleasant things happened today. All you can feel is the graceful and quiet sound underwater. " When talking about the charm of diving, Sang Hong, a professional diving coach in our city, told reporters.

Sang Hong introduced that diving has become more and more popular in China, and the demand for diving enthusiasts to participate in training has also increased year by year, which has promoted the development of professional diving training market. In the past, most clubs that could obtain diving licenses in China were concentrated in South China, but with the rise of diving, many cities in East China now have diving shops with relevant qualifications, which also accelerated the development of sports.

It is understood that diving can be roughly divided into three categories according to its purpose and use: military diving, professional diving, leisure diving and sports diving, and there are also many different forms. What the general public usually calls scuba diving, in short, is diving with oxygen bottles.

Diving is different from land sports, it is not affected by gravity at all. You can use some underwater equipment to see the beautiful underwater world and let your body stretch freely. That feeling is wonderful. This should be the common aspiration of all diving enthusiasts, and it can also change and enhance your cardiopulmonary function and make it stronger. Sang Hong told reporters that the oxygen in the oxygen bottle is filtered and compressed with high purity, so diving can speed up the metabolism of the human body and is the choice of many weight-loss enthusiasts.

In addition, Sang Hong said that diving is very safe, and its risk is even behind football. People of different ages, sexes and physical strengths can enjoy this kind of fun. While enjoying safety and fun, they also retain some adventurous imagination. "Now there are five or six diving clubs in Changzhou. Take our club as an example. People who participate in diving have a great age span, ranging from 10 to 60 years old. " Sang Hong said.

Changzhou diving enthusiasts love to test PADI's diving certificate.

Sang Hong introduced that the whole set of scuba diving equipment includes face mirror, breathing tube, flippers, respirator, diving equipment, gas cylinder, buoyancy control vest and diving suit. When diving in open water, divers even carry diving knives, underwater flashlights and other necessary auxiliary equipment. After the equipment is the service chain of training and leisure diving. "I saw a data before, saying that China currently has more than 6.5438+0.5 million tourists participating in experiential diving every year, and Sanya has developed into the largest experiential diving base in the world. Nearly 30% of them are willing to participate in deep diving, including participating in the training of international diving organizations and obtaining diving certificates. This means that the certification and evaluation market for diving training and international certificates has also expanded. " Sang Hong said.

In Sang Hong's club, the reporter saw that the diving pool set by the swimming pool attracted many people's attention, and the full set of diving equipment displayed by diving pool also showed the high popularity of club diving. "Every student who comes to the club will choose a diving course that suits him. According to different courses, we will provide different teaching materials, such as courses for divers in open waters. One * * * is eight classes, including three theoretical classes and five still water classes. After learning this course, you can make textual research according to your own situation. According to the different affordable costs, fans can choose to go to the Philippines for research, which is relatively cost-effective, and some people will choose to go to Hainan for research. The cost is actually higher than going abroad for research. " Sang Hong introduced.

It is understood that most of the diving certificates obtained by Changzhou diving enthusiasts come from PADI (International Association of Professional Diving Coaches), including CMAS, SSI and NAUI. Sang Hong told reporters that diving certificates are subdivided into many categories, and there are more than 40 basic diving certificates.

It's less than 10 thousand yuan to get a diving card abroad.

Among many places that can be verified, diving tourism in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries, is favored by enthusiasts for its convenience, speed and high cost performance. Popular tourist destinations such as Bali, Phuket and Mint have long been famous.

Xu Mengyao, a 90-year-old girl from Changzhou, just chose to go to PG Island in the Philippines in May this year to get a diving certificate. "Not only is the price cheaper in the Philippines than in China, but the local diving shop is also equipped with China's coach. Even if you don't know a foreign language, there will be no problem in communication. So I thought twice and chose to take the exam in the Philippines. " Xu Mengyao said that there were seven people with her, five of whom were women. "Now a large part of diving enthusiasts are girls, and they all want to take beautiful diving photos."

In fact, Xu Mengyao has long heard of diving, but has never found a suitable opportunity to try it. It was not until the beginning of the year that a friend took her to a diving club in the city that she got on the bus.

"I began to regret the first time I dived into the water, and regretted why I tried it until now. When I arrived in the Philippines, I felt that I came too late. I should have experienced the wonderful world in the ocean. " Xu Mengyao recalled the first time he dived into the ocean, but his words still couldn't express his joy. "Even now, every time I dive into the water, I will have a brand-new feeling, and no scenery is repeated." .

Because of its high cost performance, Ni Hong, who loves diving, goes to the Philippines with friends almost every year. "When it comes to diving abroad, I think only people with a certain economic foundation will consider it. In fact, it is not that far now. For example, if you go to the Philippines to take a diving certificate, the off-season tuition fee is less than 10,000 yuan, which is the price that most white-collar workers can accept. "

"Most people who like diving are cheerful, and it will be very relaxed and happy to get along with such people." Ni Hong, who loves diving, hopes to inspire more people to love diving like her. She has made an appointment with her friends to go diving in Manado next year. Xu Mengyao is also planning her second diving trip. She hopes to punch in at diving spots around the world and enjoy the ever-changing underwater scenery.
