However, the host will definitely not arrange ordinary fishing boats or yachts for the inspection group. Instead, they will directly transfer a maritime yacht that is said to be recently retired from the relevant departments - it can be called the top of the whale watching boats! It is not only fast, but also accompanying.
The crew members are also different from ordinary boatmen. They look like practitioners, maybe from the navy.
It is precisely because of this kind of treatment that I dare to go to Mirissa to watch whales at three o'clock in the afternoon.
At this moment, the dock was cleared by the receptionist or for some other reason. There were very few tourists, and the boatmen were all lying on their boats and taking a nap.
After listening to the translator relaying the words of the local tour guide, I realized that the boats used by tourists to go out to sea had already returned by this time, and few people rented fishing boats or yachts in the afternoon. Because going out to sea to watch whales in the morning has almost become an unwritten rule in the local tourism industry.
"Thanks to this unwritten rule, we don't get crowded when we go out to sea! Otherwise, it would be like traveling by bus, and we would be crowded together! The same goes for whale watching places. It is said that when the waves are big, the whales will be closer.
Even if your boat is capsized by a wave, don’t panic, because there are boats all around, so it won’t take any effort to save people.”
"Oh! The boat might be capsized? This is too scary! I can't even swim!"
"It's okay! Didn't I give you a life jacket? You won't sink if you wear a life jacket."
"That's right!" The lesbian who spoke lowered her head and tightened the laces of the life jacket, not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case, if she really fell into the sea, what would happen if the laces became loose and floated away!
"Teacher Xu, please tie it tight too!"
"You worry about yourself!" Li Xiu'e couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Xu can swim. Last night, I saw her and Director Lu swimming several times in the hotel swimming pool, and they were as comfortable as a mermaid in the water.
.”
"Teacher Xu is so good at swimming? Then he can dive into the sea!"
"Diving into the sea? It should be diving!"
"Yes, yes! It means diving to the bottom of the sea. If I could swim, I would definitely try diving. I heard that the bottom of the sea is so beautiful!"
"That's right! I saw a brochure for diving at the pier. The photos of the seabed are so beautiful! Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to go diving? We'll pay for it ourselves. We've already paid for it, so why not have a good time?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at their respective leaders in unison.
Employees of the Institute of Oceanography look at Lu Chixiao.
Members of the supervision team look at the Golden Year.
"Hey! Don't think that one comes out one after another!" Jin Linian said first, "Do you think that if you can swim, you will definitely be able to dive? Not necessarily! I heard from Director Lu that diving requires a certain amount of experience. How do you get this experience?
?That is repeated training. Director Lu and his wife dive near their own island every summer vacation. They have become so familiar with diving that they dare to go into the water here. What about you? Before that, you didn’t even know what diving was.
You can’t explain, but you want to go to the bottom of the sea? You are very brave!”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but touch their noses and take a closer look: That's right! Diving is not like swimming. As long as you can float without choking, it doesn't matter whether you can swim like a dog or swim normally. Diving requires going into the deep sea.
The bottom of the sea is so dangerous! What if the oxygen bottle bursts? What if the diving suit leaks? What if they suddenly feel dizzy and want to vomit and can't get up for a while... In short, there are too many dangers, and they don't want to do it just for one.
Entertainment activities are life-threatening.
Forget it, forget it! Let's just sit on the boat and enjoy the sea view! After all, it is a sea view from abroad, maybe this is the only time in this life! If you look at it a few more times, it is not in vain to squeeze your brain to grab this business trip opportunity.
Therefore, the comrades who had previously clamored excitedly about wanting to dive for excitement all stopped at this moment.
Xu Suizhu secretly pinched the back of the man's hand when no one was paying attention. When he raised his eyes and looked over, he mouthed and asked, "Have you brainwashed Team Leader Jin?"
The man raised his lips, lowered his head and said in her ear: "What I said is the truth."
Xu Suizhu: "..."
I believe you are evil!
…
Sri Lanka is an island with a very narrow continental shelf. It reaches the deep sea just 20 kilometers away from the coastline.
Only in the deep sea is it possible to see blue whales.
After all, it is a giant in the sea, and ordinary shallow seas cannot fit it.
After the yacht arrived at the best whale watching location, it turned off the motor. There was no sound of the motor, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of waves pushing one after another.
"gorgeous!"
Everyone took sun protection measures, walked onto the deck, and looked at the blue sea, which was almost the same color as the sky. It seemed that both body and mind had been purified.
"Everyone, be careful! If there is a whale, the waves will be very big and you will be thrown out if you are not careful." The translator listened to the tour guide's chatter and quickly reminded him.
When they heard that they would be thrown out, several female compatriots clung to the railing and joked: "No matter how big the waves are, they will never separate me from the yacht!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a giant-like figure slowly emerging from the sea right in front of the yacht.
"Whale! It's a whale!" People on the deck cheered.
"You are so lucky! You saw a whale just after you arrived! And it is the blue whale that is the rarest to see!" The receptionist of the boat was even more surprised than the expedition group.
When the blue whale emerged from the water, a water column of more than ten meters high rose into the sky from its big, hilly head, and then a long sound that sounded like a whistle could be heard. After spraying the water, a neat and elegant
He flicked his tail and dived into the sea...
"Ahhhh - whale! I saw a big whale that can spray water!"
"..."
Although it was the first time for all members of the expedition group to see a whale that could spray water, they couldn't help but twitch when they saw Jin Liping holding her cheeks and hearing her voice that was almost screaming with excitement.
I took a sneak peek at the local sailors with tangled muscles and dark skin on the boat. Look! They were all laughing!
"Isn't it said that whales make seasickness easy? Why didn't I feel it?" Li Xiu'e muttered in a low voice.
Xu Suizhu happened to be standing on her left side and explained smoothly: "Seasickness is caused by the waves being too big and the hull shaking too much. The yacht we are on is large and ordinary waves cannot disturb it. And that whale just now
, from appearance to departure, everything was silent..."
It's neither like Xiaohu who likes tiger leaps, nor like Diandian's favorite trick of the dragon swaying its tail. If you still get seasick like this, then if there is a whale who likes big tiger leaps, wouldn't it mean that the boat will capsize...
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the yacht started to shake significantly.
Isn't it?
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but clicked her tongue: When did you become a crow's mouth?
Lu Chixiao put his arms around her and held her in his arms, holding on to the railing. At the same time, he did not forget to tell everyone: "Hold on!"
