Some time after that, we started learning to dive. The people who were supposed to learn how to dive were our three brothers, Xiaoye Jianzui, Gouzi and Ma Miao.
Of course, Ma Miao and Xiao Ye learned this just for fun, especially Ma Miao, who did not participate in the underwater salvage work.
As for Hulu and Yang Dawei, neither of them originally wanted to learn, but Liu Xuanxuan felt that at least one of her people must know how to do it, so she asked at least one of them to learn.
Yang Dawei made various excuses, either saying that water had entered his ears and it hurt, or that his heart was not feeling well, etc. Anyway, he just refused to learn. He was probably afraid that it would be more dangerous to dive back into the sunken ship, and he was afraid of losing his baby. It’s my life, so I just want to sit on it and enjoy the fruits of my life.
I thought he was really an old fox.
If Yang Dawei doesn't want to learn, he can only learn from the gourd. It turns out that the gourd means that he can't swim. But in order to make Liu Xuanxuan happy, he plans to learn swimming and diving together. Although this is also possible, it requires a lot of money. More time and energy, more effort required.
But Hulu's perseverance is still relatively strong. He goes to learn to swim before dawn every morning. He can swim in less than half a day, and after a day or two, he has already swam very well, and the next step is natural. Learn to dive with us.
As for the diving we learn, there are two types. One is scuba diving, which involves carrying an oxygen tank on your body. It is very simple to learn. You only need to learn to breathe underwater, but you must pay special attention to the pressure.
There is another type called free diving, which does not require an oxygen tank. You have to hold your breath while swimming. Because we have to face various emergencies, we must learn both types of diving, and the task is still quite heavy.
After three days of diving, we have been able to dive to fifty meters underwater. Because the body needs to slowly adapt, it will take some time to dive to about a hundred meters, but this is not What a difficult thing.
Of course, this refers to scuba diving, that is, with equipment. For free diving, I couldn’t dive more than 20 meters at most, mainly because I couldn’t hold my breath.
The one who can hold his breath the best is the gourd. This guy can only be said to be extremely talented. He can hold his breath and swim to fifty meters and then come back. The most important thing is that he seems to be in good condition after coming up. He has not reached the level yet. His limit.
You know, he couldn't even swim when he first started learning, which was really shocking.
After continuing to practice for about a week, each of us has become quite proficient in diving skills. With the equipment, we can dive up to 100 meters below. Of course, if we dive into such deep water with the equipment, we want to come up. It takes a long time, because people need oxygen to breathe, and the pressure below is high. When you go upstream, you need to stay for three minutes for every five meters to let your body adapt. Otherwise, if you rise too fast, your lungs will The department will be blown up directly.
As for free diving, that is, if you don’t need equipment to hold your breath for diving, you don’t need to stop for this.
I later asked Uncle Su about the location of the sunken ship and how deep it was from the water. If it was too deep, there would be no way to get down. Uncle Su said that some ships were in deeper water. There is no other way. We can only stay in a relatively shallow place, or a place close to the island, which is relatively shallow.
As for the deeper ones, there are ways to find and salvage them, but it requires the use of large salvage ships, professional submersibles, and a very professional team. It will take a long time and money to set up. For the time being, It's not suitable for us.
He said that if we make this deal and make a lot of money, we can cooperate with some foreign expedition teams in the future to salvage sunken ships.
Of course, that's assuming we don't plan to continue robbing tombs in the country.
While I was learning to dive, I kept in touch with Gao Nose. Later, I learned that the short-haired girl’s parents had returned from abroad, and the funeral had been held. Gao Nose said that she had even gone to the short-haired girl’s home. During one visit, I found that the short-haired woman was in particularly bad condition. She looked as if she was half dead. Her eyes were always swollen and she was mute when speaking.
Anyway, when I heard her talk about how miserable women with short hair are, I felt quite uncomfortable. She even asked me if she could talk to a woman with short hair about me because of her high nose bridge. I said, forget it, try not to talk anymore. Let's wait until her mood becomes more stable after some time.
That afternoon, Xiaoye suddenly came to me and said she wanted to practice free diving. She said that we might set off in a few days, and she would return to Beijing by then, so she wanted to go underwater to see the big turtles and turtles. Various schools of fish.
We found the crew member responsible for driving the boat, took us to the offshore, and then jumped into the sea together. Because there were few people this time, I was a little worried about Xiao Ye’s safety. After entering the water, I followed her closely, and my eyes Always keeping an eye on her, afraid that something would happen to her.
Xiaoye has learned to swim professionally before. She is different from wild swimmers like us, so she can not only breaststroke, but also freestyle, and butterfly. When she dives, she actually likes to use the butterfly kick. .
When this kind of leg kicks, the force starts from the chest, and then is transmitted to the waist, and then transmitted from the waist to the buttocks and legs. After the whole movement, the body is like an "S" shaped long snake. With her Her body is very graceful. Against the background of the underwater creatures, corals and the Yangtze above her head, she looks like a mermaid. Not to mention how beautiful she is.
To be honest, I felt a little excited when I saw it. This feeling was stronger than when I showed her the mark on my butt before.
After Xiao Ye swam for a while, she made a floating gesture to me, and then I grabbed her, and we swam up toward the water surface together. When we reached the water surface, after our breathing was almost smooth, we both held our breath again. Lost his temper.
Not long after I went down this time, Xiaoye suddenly pointed out a place for me to look at. I thought it was dangerous at the time, but when I turned around, I found two big turtles behind me.
These two big turtles were stacked one above the other, just one turtle riding on the back. When I saw this posture, I naturally understood that these two turtles were "making babies" here.
But Xiaoye probably didn't think about it. She just thought it was interesting to have two turtles stacked like this. She smiled at me and made a "photograph" gesture, meaning that if we brought an underwater camera, alright.
To be honest, I was quite embarrassed, thinking that if I told you that these two turtles were "making babies" there, you wouldn't be able to laugh.
I took a closer look at these two turtles. They were quite big. The diameter of their bodies was almost over half a meter. Xiaoye swam around them at this time. When she swam behind them, Xiaoye seemed to have discovered something. , then her expression changed, and then she swam upward.
Naturally, I followed her up, but before going up, I swam behind the turtle.
Only later did I understand that I could see clearly from behind. Xiaoye probably knew what the two turtles were doing, so she was very ashamed, especially since she took the initiative to let me see it just now. This was even more shameful. No wonder she hurried to swim. Went up.
When we reached the water, Xiaoye's face turned red, and I couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe it was because her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. That look made people feel bad, so I started to think of joking.
I deliberately teased: "Why did you just show me those two turtles?"
"I..." Xiaoye didn't dare to look into my eyes at this time, and her face became even redder. It took her a long time to say, "I didn't know what they were doing at first."
"Haha, I was still wondering why you suddenly became so bold today and actually let me see this. At that moment, I even doubted whether you were Xiaoye!"
