The first thousand five hundred and seventy-eight chapters
There are ten people in Han Peacock's group, including a newlywed couple from Nevada on their honeymoon; a pair from Washington State who are 4 years apart in age but look like twins; and coach Mike, who has dark skin and combs his hair into a ponytail.
He is of Hawaiian and Japanese descent.
The five of them, plus the four Han Kongque brothers and the tour guide, made exactly ten people.
The course lasts for three days, with two dives a day plus lectures and reading by yourself. The entire course not only explains the common knowledge about diving, but also mainly trains basic diving skills.
Every morning, Han Kongque and the others had to load all the equipment into the car, and when they arrived at the diving site, they combined their equipment.
In the past, scuba diving was fully equipped by the instructor. All you had to do was breathe, balance your ears, and pump water.
Nowadays, everything in training has to be done by oneself. After being fully dressed, the two people check all items with each other, especially whether the air valve is open and whether the air is flowing smoothly.
At this time, each person's weight has exceeded 40 to 50 kilograms, and the 20 to 30 meters from the parking lot to the beach is the most strenuous part of the entire course.
At this time, the physics knowledge learned in middle school was constantly reviewed during diving, but it turned out that Han Kongque really didn't know how important this knowledge was to diving.
Because this knowledge can save lives, everyone studies it very seriously.
If the air pressure on the water surface is 1, then the pressure at a depth of 10 meters is 2 times. An air bag with the same capacity will be compressed to half of the volume on the water surface. The volume at 20 meters is 1/3, and at 30 meters
The volume is 1/4, so it can be seen that the first ten meters of the dive are the most difficult.
All of this was originally meaningless to Han Kongque, because he had the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, but now, without the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, although he could still control the water source, he could no longer do whatever he wanted like before.
Therefore, Han Kongque studied very seriously during this diving training, and Han Kongque also really learned a lot of skills.
The first skill you usually learn is to balance your ears. If you are not careful and continue to dive even though your ears already feel pain, you can easily get injured.
Even Han Peacock couldn't do it immediately when he entered the water by himself without relying on supernatural powers.
I won’t tell you how I felt the first time. I just felt uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and uncomfortable.
When Han Kongque dived for the second time, he struggled for a while but still couldn't balance. Because he didn't want everyone to wait for him, Han Kongque could only give the coach an OK gesture.
The consequence of this was that on the day and the next day when he returned to the hotel, Han Peacock's ears were ringing. The white noise around him was no longer just in the background, but the whole head was filled with that buzzing sound.
During the six dives in three days, every action I performed underwater was counter-intuitive.
For example, take away the breathing regulator and put it back in your mouth, fill the mask with sea water or take it off and put it on again, and clean out the water.
Pretend you're running out of air and breathe your partner's air through their spare trachea.
Pretend the air valve is malfunctioning and learn how to breathe free-flowing air.
Take off the equipment and put it on again underwater, as well as how to read the meter and determine the direction, etc.
Not to mention, when I get in the water, I feel like coughing, and I feel like there is something stuck in my throat and I want to vomit, and sometimes I feel itchy somewhere on my face, and sometimes my throat is so dry that I can't breathe, which is not enough.
These novel experiences were something that Han Kongque had never experienced before. Han Kongque did not let the sea water get close to him. This time, he directly soaked in the sea water, only to realize that diving is really not something that ordinary people can do.
, and in this way, Han Peacock studied more seriously.
Only now did Han Kongque know that the amount of air used for diving is closely related to the diving depth. The deeper the dive, the faster the air consumption.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the water temperature, the lung capacity and movements of the diver. Usually in the tropics, experienced people can use a bottle of gas for 45 minutes to an hour at about 10 meters, but novices have uncoordinated movements, uneven breathing and nervousness.
Wait, it consumes a lot of air, and it usually takes half an hour to 45 minutes to float to the surface of the water.
Every time you dive, after training the required skills, it’s time to swim. This is the happiest moment for everyone.
Slowly adjust your body into a streamlined shape, control your breathing and explore the underwater world with the instructor.
A good instructor has a wealth of knowledge about the ocean. The instructor "digged" out something that looked like a rock. The nearby waters were immediately obscured by the ink it released. Unfortunately, it struggled for a long time, but could not escape from the instructor.
of palm.
Mike gently stroked its head. Gradually, it felt that Mike was not hostile and calmed down.
Mike put the octopus into the palm of everyone's hand. With its soft body, a few people were a little scared at first, but they soon became excited.
Put the small suction cup on your hand, and gently stroke its head with your other hand. Its little eyes will test with yours. At that moment, there is an indescribable feeling, probably the joy of trust and being trusted.
After slowly relaxing, Han Peacock began to flip in the three-dimensional space like an astronaut in the water, sometimes with his head facing down, and sometimes turning his body sideways.
That feeling of weightlessness is very much like my childhood dream. When I was a child, I became an omnipotent superman in my dreams. Qinggong and flying all appeared in my dreams. But in the water, all of this seems to be possible.
It was the first time for Han Peacock to experience this feeling of soaring in a silent world with nothing to tie him down except the sea water.
The world under the sea is colorful, with all kinds of colorful butterfly fish, surgeon fish, and eels that look ferocious but are actually curious.
Fish sleeping in the coral, fish looking for food, fish chasing each other, and fish looking at each other curiously with the Korean peacock.
The fish in the water are more elegant than the Korean peacock, turning back and forth effortlessly.
A fish swimming on the bottom of the sea was about the same color as sand. When it saw a Korean peacock swimming by, it immediately got into the sand and buried itself.
The Korean peacock couldn't help but laugh, spit out a string of water bubbles, and sank to the bottom of the sea. He gently scratched the fish's back with his hands. It immediately came out of the sand, swam to the front and buried itself again.
At this time, Mike picked up a red pencil sea urchin from the coral bush and put it in Han Peacock's hand to show the red color on Han Peacock's hand.
After landing, he told them that a long time ago, when there was no rouge, this was the raw material for ladies' blush.
The shape of this sea urchin is the same as other sea urchins, with a round body and spines, but their spines are thick, not sharp, and have blunt tops. They are generally poisonous, but they do not actively attack but are used for defense.
The coral world under the sea is no less impressive than tropical fish, with all kinds of colors, shapes and all kinds of strange things.
If humans came from the ocean and evolved to land, many people are more willing to "regress" back to this wonderful underwater world after seeing the gorgeous scenes under the sea.
The three days of training ended quickly, and I felt a little dizzy every day.
According to Mike, their jargon is called nitrogen buzz, because under high pressure, the inhaled nitrogen remains in the lungs, making people feel dizzy.
After 50 questions in the exam, Han Kongque graduated with all correct answers. With this small card in his hand, Han Kongque knew that it was not so much an end as a new beginning.
A brand new world unfolds in front of Han Peacock, and this card is the key to the outermost door.
70% of the earth is water. It is said that we know far more about the moon and outer space than we know about the underwater world.
If we talk about 30% of the land, Korean Peacock has just begun to explore it, and now 70% of the water has been added, which is so exciting!
The road back to the hotel from the diving site is one of the most scenic routes in Maui. You can look at the blue sea from the cliff, or watch the white waves seem to rush towards the wheel.
As excited as Han Peacock were Chen Qing and three others. Now, they could finally walk towards the ocean independently.
After a day of rest, early the next morning, the four of them, accompanied by a tour guide, took a yacht and sailed on the sea.
"Find a place with few people." Han Peacock made the request directly.
Gu Lie immediately said: "Find a special place. I have seen enough of the shallow sea scene. Find a place with a bit of depth."
"The depth should be thirty or forty meters, so it won't be too difficult." Chen Qing suggested.
Yuan Peng also said: "It is best to have them all from ten meters to seventy meters. We can dive slowly step by step."
"There are many places like this, but you must pay attention to safety. There are too many unknown dangers underwater. I don't want you to mess around." the tour guide reminded.
Han Peacock smiled: "Okay, you should have noticed that we are all followed by bodyguards, so don't worry, even if we are underwater, our bodyguards will always pay attention to us."
After saying that, Han Kongque pointed to the four boats not far away. They were a team of four bodyguards. Each bodyguard had a boat, so unless there was something wrong with all four boats, the four of them would still be safe.
Guaranteed.
Of course, if someone ignores Han Peacock, they will be even more unlucky, so Han Peacock is the last layer of insurance.
"Really bodyguards?" the tour guide was a little surprised. Although she had met rich people traveling before, she really didn't expect that four Chinese men actually brought bodyguards with them.
The tour guide is very familiar with that kind of yacht. They are all private luxury yachts and will never be rented out. Since you own a luxury yacht, do you still need to rent a boat on the island to go diving?
Is this a quirk of the rich?
The tour guide shook his head, directed everyone, and drove the boat to a remote corner.
"There are mountains and valleys on the bottom of the sea here, but the view is wide and very gentle. This kind of place can not only explore and hunt, but also ensure safety. I hope you can have a happy time." When we arrived at the place, the tour guide explained very confidently. (To be continued.
