Although the AOWD course for extended area diving has four specialties, students can choose the specialties they want to improve on, and each specialty is a complete course, so it takes more than three days and two nights to complete 7-8 dives.

If everything goes well in the end, you can get five certificates at once, namely the four specialty certificates and the AOWD certificate. It can be said to be a very complete and solid training.

The extended field experience diving process lasts about 2-2.5 hours, and the actual diving time is 40 minutes. The instructor will lead you one-on-one when entering the water. The maximum depth can reach within 12 meters.

The extended field experience diving course is not sloppy at all. The instructor will first explain various precautions in the classroom. Since you cannot speak in the water, it is important to communicate through gestures.

After the teaching is completed, the coach will also give a short test to verify whether everyone has learned it, because life safety is the key to thisLittle Liuqiu DivingThe most important thing, so we are very rigorous in this aspect.

After the explanation, the coach took Shiyang to the equipment area. At this time, the diving reassembly has been assembled by the instructor. Shi Yang only needs to listen attentively to the instructor's introduction to the functions of various parts, and follow the steps one by one to practice how to put on the mask, use the second stage to breathe, adjust ear pressure and drain water.

After they are proficient, the instructor will repeatedly confirm whether each student has really learned how to use it, and finally let Shiyang put on light diving equipment, that is, a cold-proof wetsuit, a cold-proof vest and overshoes.

Then get in the car and get ready to go diving on the shore!

After arriving at the shore, the coach helped Shiyang put on 20 kilograms of heavy equipment and walked along the shore into the water.

When the water depth reaches about the waist, the instructor reviews the gestures and basic movements just taught again, and repeatedly ensures that all ten fish can be used freely underwater.

Every time he dives one meter, the instructor will use hand gestures to remind Shiyang to pay attention to the ear pressure, and wait patiently for Shiyang to successfully complete the action and raise the OK sign before moving forward.

In the process of experiencing diving in the extended area, the instructor is holding Shi Yang for the whole process. Shi Yang can just relax his whole body and empty his head like a little waste to get a glimpse of the beautiful appearance of the seabed.

During the entire experience diving process, we were accompanied by ten sea turtles, and we also saw clown fish playing hide and seek among the corals. The diverse underwater ecology was simply fascinating!

The subject time for the Extended Area Scuba Certification is a whole day. Although the instructor will first send the electronic files of the subject content to the students for preview when registering, the rigorous instructors will still prepare the course content on the first day of the course. All subject content is explained in full.

It includes physiology, pressure stabilization, buddy system, safety concepts, depth and pressure, diving physics, marine environment and tides, equipment, etc., and many practical cases are cited to help everyone understand it.

Early the next morning, the instructor first taught Shiyang how to assemble heavy diving equipment by himself. This is the most basic skill to become a diver, from the cylinder, BCD, regulator, first stage, second stage to counterweight, second stage. All inspections, etc. must be learned and skillful.

Then, the coach asked us to take our equipment to the swimming pool for a full day of calm water training. The boss San Kuang insisted that beginners must train in the swimming pool first, because the waves on the shore are big, and if you have to overcome the waves while practicing, Excuse me, it is difficult for beginners to really lay the foundation.

On the third day I was finally able to go into the sea, Shi Yang was super excited! On this day, the instructor took ten fish to review what they had learned in the previous day's class at a relatively shallow position, including equipment adjustments, various diving techniques, situation simulations and obstacle elimination. After the students could successfully complete it, they began to dive deeper and deeper. .

Shiyang dived a total of four times in the past two days, with the maximum depth reaching 18 meters. In addition to the precious knowledge and skills learned in class, Shiyang also saw several boats that are unique to Xiaoliuqiu.Sunken ship, the process is like a scene that only appears in an adventure movie, very exciting and enjoyable!
