Chapter 750 749. Diving Lesson (35)

"I'm sorry, buddy, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you just now, my cognition is still too narrow, obviously, there are many tall people in this world."

Brother Wolf looked at the captain and then at his daughter, then he reached out and stroked his daughter's hair, and said slowly, "I forgive you."

"Thanks."

The captain left such a sentence, and then returned to the pilothouse in desperation, and he did not come out the whole night.

After spending the night at sea as usual and watching the magnificent sunrise on the sea, Li Du and the others returned to the shore and left Jindao for Melbourne by fast boat.

Da Ao, Godzilla, Hannah and others went to Melbourne for a tour, while Li Du, Hans, Brother Wolf and Sophie who accompanied Li Du went to learn diving.

They signed up for a diving crash course, and the coach of this training course was named David Mullins, a diving master in the southern hemisphere and a celebrity in the history of diving.

The magnificent and vast sea has always been a journey for a good man. The Australian ocean has particularly clear blue water and a rich and colorful underwater world, which attracts countless diving enthusiasts every year to explore and linger.

Many countries have special niche sports, such as ice hockey in Canada, cricket in India, table tennis in China, etc. Australia also has this kind of sport, that is diving.

Diving can be roughly divided into three modes, snorkeling, deep diving, and free diving.

Among them, snorkeling is the simplest. As the name suggests, this sport means that people float on the water, with the help of snorkels and fins.

Deep diving primarily refers to scuba diving, the use of compressed air bottles to breathe underwater.

At this stage, you can enter the deeper underwater world and see more wonderful ocean scenery than snorkeling.

Deep diving is more complicated than snorkeling. You need to wear diving equipment and know some diving skills. You must be accompanied by an instructor under the sea. If you want to experience the fun of deep diving at a deeper level, you can try to obtain a diving certificate.

These two diving methods are the most common and relatively less difficult. What Li Du and Hans want to learn is not them, but free diving.

Freediving refers to the exercise of diving as deep as possible without carrying an air bottle, only by adjusting your own lung capacity and holding your breath. This is already an extreme sport.

Relatively speaking, freediving has the highest requirements for practitioners, not only requiring rich diving experience, but also super physical fitness.

Li Du met half of the requirements. He has no diving experience, but has super physical fitness.

Hans was considered a loser in the sport, with poor fitness and no great diving experience.

The four of them signed up for the class together and spent nearly 10,000 Australian dollars together to get in touch with the famous diving instructor David Mullins in person.

This great player holds two of the eight world records in the free diving industry, and has also made achievements in the other six. Although many of them did not get the record, they were the top five or top three in the record.

After Li Du and the others signed up, the free diving assistant took them directly to Marlins' training boat.

David Mullins is a white young man, tall and burly, not much shorter than Godzilla, no matter what, he must be two meters tall.

He has a very good body shape, a streamlined shape specially born for the ocean, with a tiger back and waist, muscular but not exaggerated, standing on the bow of the boat facing the hunting sea breeze, he has his own style.

After shaking hands and introducing themselves, Mullins asked, "Why do you want to learn to free dive?"

Hans laughed, "For love, man, we love the ocean."

His answer did not satisfy Mullins. The big young man said seriously: "I need a real answer, and then I will teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

"What's the difference?" Hans asked.

Mullins said: "Of course, there are many differences. If you really love the sport of free diving, I will teach you professional deep diving."

"If you want to freediving to impress hot girls, I'll teach you how to maintain good posture and do cool tricks in the water."

"If you do any work through free diving, such as fishing abalone, sea cucumber and artificial lobster, then I have to teach you how to protect yourself."

Listening to Malins' patient introduction, Li Du said: "We are the last one, we are abalone fishers, and we need to learn how to dive and catch abalone."

In many countries, wild abalone is caught manually, but tools such as oxygen cylinders and underwater electric knives can be used. In Australia, these tools are not allowed.

Therefore, Li Du and the others can only dive freely, instead of deep diving in the general sense.

After getting the answer, Mullins nodded to express his understanding.

Then he said: "You have to think about it, do you really want to risk your life to make money? Before you start learning, I have to tell you that freediving is called the second most dangerous sport in the world by Forbes. At least ten people have died because of the sport."

Hans spread his hands and said, "We don't need to be so dangerous. We don't dive to a depth of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, as long as ten meters is enough."

Li Du thought about the depth of the water where the Heijinbao tribe was distributed, and said, "Ten meters is not enough, at least twenty-five meters."

"Does it need to be so deep?" Hans was surprised.

Li Du said: "Of course, the abalones in shallow waters have been caught long ago. If we want to make money, we have to go to deeper places to take risks."

Hanston hesitated for a moment, the adventurous gene flowed in his blood, but he understood his physical condition and worried that he would not be able to bear it.

Mullins comforted him and said, "It's okay, buddy. I have the diving training secrets of the Bajau people in Malaysia. If you want, I can teach you. I guarantee that you can swim freely under the water within a depth of 40 meters within a week."

Hans was surprised: "There are such powerful cheats?"

Brother Wolf, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time, and said, "First, the eardrum must be pierced, are you sure?"

Marlins looked at him in surprise, and said, "How do you know?"

Hans was confused, and shouted: "Don't worry about how he knows, is it true? Do you have to pierce your eardrums to dive?"

Marlins waved his hands and smiled, "I'm just joking, but if you really want to learn this trick, you really have to pierce your eardrums. It's a pity that the Bajau people are all deaf."

Hans became frustrated and said helplessly, "This is not acceptable. I can't hurt my body for diving. Is there any other coup?"

Mullins patted him on the shoulder intimately to comfort him and said: "Don't think too much, enjoy the fun that the ocean brings to you, I will take you from snorkeling, and then you will find that your enthusiasm for the ocean is far away. Not only floating on the sea, but unconsciously wanting to go deeper and learn more about the ocean.”
