Within a few days, Chen Xin and the other girls had obtained their diving certificates.
They signed up for a scuba class and a freediving class.
The mainstream learning and certification organizations for scuba diving are called PADI and CMAS.
These organizations divide diving into many levels, among which the two most basic levels are OW and Aow.
OW (Open Water Diver) can be understood as graduating from primary school, and can dive to a depth of 18 meters. The learning time is three days. If you don't travel often and only dive once a year, OW is fine.
Aow (Advanced Open Water Diver), passing this exam is equivalent to completing the nine-year compulsory education. You have mastered the basic knowledge and can go to many diving spots. The depth is 30 meters, including night diving and drifting. Study time
for 3 days.
The O+A test is taken together, and it only takes five or six days in total. These are the most basic scuba diving...
Some diving sites require a certificate to go into the sea. With these certificates, you can go diving on some coral reefs.
There are also many places for diving training, such as aquariums, some diving clubs, and even fitness clubs.
Chen Xin and the others also took the freediving test. The mainstream certification organization for freediving is called AIDA. This organization does a good job in promoting it. They hold AIDA diving certificates and are recognized in most places abroad.
Freediving is also very simple. It only takes a few days to get a junior certificate.
Freediving AIDA one-star, the course seems to be one day and one night. Testing for three-star AIDA, that is, two to five days...
And these courses can be taken together.
When it was time to set sail, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng went over to help Lin Xinhai pack up the fishing boat.
After coming back, Chen Yuan wanted to take the windsurfing board out to catch some seafood and come back to eat, but the windsurfing board was missing.
"Hello." Chen Yuan dialed Chen Xin's phone: "Where is my windsurfing board?"
“On the beach.”
"What are you doing on the beach?"
"I bought a windsurfing board online, but it hasn't been delivered yet. Let me practice with your windsurfing board first. Are you done? Come over and guide us."
"Don't go into the water, it's very windy and choppy today." Chen Yuan said and went downstairs, got on the electric scooter and came to the beach.
Chen Xin, Zhou Lan, Yan Xiaoxi and He Huan are all practicing sail control on the beach...
Chen Yuan walked over: "Didn't you place the order for your windsurfing board several days ago? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
"I just arrived in Guangzhou today, I think I can arrive tomorrow," Chen Xin said.
The windsurfing board Chen Xin and her friends bought has been shipped from Shanghai for several days.
Yan Xiaoxi stood on the windsurfing board. The wind was very strong now, and she was using a 5-meter sail. Under the strong wind, it was difficult for her to even stand up the sail.
"Chen Yuan." Yan Xiaoxi shouted.
Chen Yuan nodded and said: "You control the windsurfing board, not the windsurfing board controls you. Use some strength and don't be afraid of losing your balance... Also, windsurfing at sea and on land are two different things... Familiar with the things on the windsurfing board
Foot position…”
"But I can't control it." Yan Xiaoxi said.
Chen Yuan went over and grabbed the sail: "Controlling the sailboard is not done with the strength of your hands, but with your body. You have to rely on your body's center of gravity..."
Chen Yuan showed them the correct stance on the board.
Some windsurfing boards have foot covers, which ones are best for beginners. Some boards don’t have foot covers…
Chen Yuan explained to them how to install the rear fin and middle fin on the board. Chen Yuan's sailboard is a rice board with a sail surface of 7.4 square meters. After installing it, he carried the sailboard and went into the sea.
The wind is very strong now, it is estimated to be level 5, and the wind is blowing loudly.
When the wind is strong, you need to control the center of gravity of the windsurfing board. There are several foot covers on the board of the windsurfing board...
The position of the foot cover on the board not only provides the driver with a reliable fulcrum in the system of man, board, and sail relative to the water, but also plays a vital role in adjusting the inclination and wind direction of the board.
How can I say this thing? It's like riding a bicycle.
It's difficult if you can't learn it.
Once you learn it, it's very simple.
The wind was strong today, so Chen Yuan controlled the windsurfing board and circled around the area and came back: "It's getting late. Just wait until your board comes back and go to the sea to practice. It's very simple. By the way, what size board did you buy?"
"
"It's 2.75 meters long and 0.72 meters wide," Chen Xin said.
"Universal board?"
"have no idea……"
Chen Yuan nodded.
The 2.75-meter board should be a general-purpose board, suitable for leisure activities, relatively simple to operate, and light in weight.
Go home and take a shower.
Chen Xin washed the rice and cooked the rice...
We haven’t gone to sea for several days. Yan Xiaoxi and the others had come to our house for dinner twice before, and they had already finished their fish.
Chen Yuan took out the ribs from the refrigerator and roasted the ribs with potatoes.
Yan Xiaoxi and the others started cooking when they got home.
"The male god is very handsome." What He Huan likes most now is teasing Yan Xiaoxi: "If you can't do it, try it on me instead. The good news won't go to outsiders."
Yan Xiaoxi was angry: "What did you say?"
"Is Chen Yuan not interested in you?"
Yan Xiaoxi didn't answer.
During this period, they only met twice, when Chen Xin called them to go home for dinner...
Other than that, I have no contact.
Yan Xiaoxi still remembers the kiss that day...no, it was artificial respiration.
This was the first time she had mouth-to-mouth with a man. After walking out of the shadow of falling into the water, every time she thought of the scene she saw when she opened her eyes that day, Chen Yuan's figure appeared in her mind...
"Today is the 25th. School will start in a few days. If you have thoughts about Chen Yuan, take the initiative." He Huan said, "You are such a big man, you must learn to seize opportunities."
"I didn't..." Yan Xiaoxi said angrily.
"You are so beautiful. If you take the initiative, which man can withstand it? Chen Yuan, from my observation, he should be a passive man..." He Huan analyzed: "Chen Yuan should not be good at dealing with people.
, so you have to take the initiative. As the old saying goes, there is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life, only to promise it with your own body..."
Yan Xiaoxi's face turned red: "Didn't he also save you?"
"It's not easy to meet a handsome guy who is a male protagonist, and he is a lifesaver. If you don't take the initiative, I will take the initiative. Look at my three magical skills of killing men..."
"Boring." Yan Xiaoxi said scornfully: "What three magical skills?"
…
Chen Yuan lay on the sofa and looked at the weather forecast again.
I still can't go out to sea in the next time, but the weather is much better.
Chen Yuan now feels that their fishing boat is too small and the sea conditions in the outer sea are slightly worse, so they cannot go there.
If it is a second-class fishing boat of about 20 meters, there are more opportunities to go out to sea. However, the larger the boat, the higher the fuel consumption. Unless it is a low-speed fishing boat...
But a low-speed fishing boat is too tiring.
"Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Sheng sent a WeChat message.
"not yet."
"I went out to drink in the evening. I haven't gone out to drink in several days."
"OK."
"I'll go over and wait for you. Come over early after dinner."
"good."
Chen Yuan flipped through his phone, clicked on the sea map to study, and another WeChat message came over: "Would you like to feed the cat tonight?" It was a WeChat message from Yan Xiaoxi.
"Hello."
"I took Daju downstairs to get some food. Daju followed me and ate cat food every day. He didn't like cat food anymore."
"Why buy some small fish?"
"No money..." Yan Xiaoxi posted a 'crying' emoticon: "I spent all my living expenses on learning to dive."
Chen Yuan smiled: "I will send you some dried fish later."
There are still a lot of dried fish in Chen Yuan’s house.
Daju was adopted by Yan Xiaoxi, and there are three cats in the community. The civet cat and the leopard cat can go out to find food on their own. The short-tailed cat is often not seen...
"Dinner is ready." Chen Xin came out with the ribs and saw the raised corners of Chen Yuan's mouth: "What are you looking at? You are so happy."
"Nothing." Chen Yuan put away his cell phone, went into the kitchen, got bowls and chopsticks, and served the rice: "Zhou Sheng asked me to go out for a drink, are you going?"
"No. Zhou Lan asked me to accompany her to the gym."
After dinner, Chen Yuan came downstairs with dried fish and sent Yan Xiaoxi a WeChat message.
"Here." Yan Xiaoxi shouted.
Chen Yuan walked over to find out the sound. Yan Xiaoxi was in the fitness area. She brought some cat food and was feeding the cat.
Today there are oranges and civet cats again.
This civet cat got close to Yan Xiaoxi. Chen Yuan knelt down and touched the civet cat's head, opened the bag and took out some dried fish, and gave them to Daju and the civet cat respectively.
Yan Xiaoxi is so beautiful. Chen Yuan, who rarely interacts with girls, saw such a beautiful person. To be honest, his heart was unavoidable.
Maybe it's because Yan Xiaoxi is so beautiful that Chen Yuan doesn't dare to have any ideas.
After secretly glancing at Yan Xiaoxi and waiting for Daju and Lihua to eat the dried fish, Chen Yuan gave the dried fish in the bag to Yan Xiaoxi: "Here is most of my inventory, give Daju less.
Otherwise, you will easily become obese." Chen Yuan said and touched Daju's head.
"Okay." Yan Xiaoxi nodded.
"I have something else to do...and so do you. It's very late. Go back early."
Yan Xiaoxi lowered her head and whispered: "Send it to me."
