Long Beach I. life-sports-diving

22 February, in the morning and friends play island hopping, it's still early, just offshore of the local swimming, playing. In the afternoon, we had an appointment with siyuan. experiential diving Well, he has a bit of the day guests. The morning is a theory that is diving, they took us three arrangements together.

Playing with water, not far away there are three friends from Shanghai, just got chatting.

Finally, there are two boys have also decided to dive with us in the afternoon. This together with 5 personal fear of diving, huh, huh!

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, in time to start.

First some theoretical explanations and considerations. Know the "ear pressure balance". Simple to understand, squeeze the nose, drum, drum the eardrum out to confront the submarine pressure so that the ears would not be a pain. In fact, in 2000, and his mother went to Sanya tourism, I also had diving. But at that time didn't know balance "ear", like to bite. Dive into the 5, 6 m, obviously felt pain in the ears, but grin and bear it, until it came to the surface. I thought my physical reasons, not suitable for diving.

Then, replace it with a diving suit, back on the cylinder, in coastal areas of practice.

Two of Shanghai's boys a set consisting of a Dive master with the Philippines. I and the Hong Kong guests a group from siyuan teacher — Jun belt. Siyuan mainly responsible for presentations and demonstrations. There are a few exercises, such as respirators fall off, how to find and wear. Surface mirror how water discharge. Peer no gas cylinders, how to use the alternate respirator.

By the way, siyuan teacher, Jun is the highest PADI Instructor-course Director (Course Director, hereinafter referred to as CD), siyuan gentle man.

Whether it's technology or character, or professional spirit, are State-of-the-art. Teacher training coach coach, but treats us these Starter, still meticulously. There he was, I am very much at ease, without fear. But some worried that the minute ear won't hurt.

The exercises are done, we sat down with the ship SEA GAIA.

Braves feels good! heart flames shares little of heroism, hee hee! to a POINT of ANGOL, preparing diving sites one by one into the water. On the one hand to protect his face and breathing apparatus, on the one hand to protect his head, sitting on the side of the ship, back down, a sea change, tianxuan into water. Very fun? forward to swim to the teacher in place. There is a rope. We continue along the rope. A walking rope in one hand squeeze the nose to do ear pressure balance. When I coach turned siyuan. Each fall, he will sign to remind me to do an ear pressure balance. The feeling is quite clear that the right ear eardrum "pow" drum. Left ear not feeling. Deep, left ear has some pain, there is no evidence left ear. Originally wanted to grin and bear it, but thought they were on shore siyuan said that any uncomfortable, be sure to tell the coach said, but the ear discomfort, refers to the coach. I pointed to his left ear, that is uncomfortable. Siyuan belt I float some, do ear pressure balance, and the left ear side. Abruptly, done. Both ears doesn't hurt. Originally, this seemingly simple actions, so important, so effective! so, would like to remind the beginners like me, you can dive, have any uncomfortable place to tell the coach, all movement must follow certain rules and sports science. If you feel unwell, where mostly because the right way. Never fear because embarrassed or drag it back to grin and bear it! do not be afraid, Take your time!

Ears are comfortable in the water, there's nothing wrong with comfortable place.

Just eyes wide, left, right, up, down and see. Innumerable variety of fish to swim, they watch you! eh? this is to think of it, we do not like the other guests, to fish feeding biscuits? siyuan said: "the day the shop biscuits sold out ~" hem, the next time you have to compensate. There are sea star-NEMO, small, sea anemones, drilling drilling out. Coach of the camera on again, quickly laid pose, depth of 11 meters, sentries to us!

As our first dive by coach purses, "to rise", dive, when can they control their own? yesterday asked the teacher, and varies from person to person, generally at least 8-10 times later! so, this is just the beginning!

The teacher also siyuan said: "the world famous diving sites I almost always go over 4000 times, up to the sea is so mysterious, and each time he does his entire show to us, and each time there will be new discoveries.

I never fully understood him, this is the reason I like diving. ”

Ever seen an article, one of Germany's female photographers to shoot undersea scene, at 80 years old, began to learn to dive.

And everyone said: "the world is composed of 70% by the ocean, and if you don't dive, then you will miss the beauty of 70%. ”

You will also experience from a fall in love with scuba diving? not to conquer nature, not to challenge the limit.

Just take a fear of the nature of the heart to feel, to appreciate, is enough!
