EP1: Open Water SCUBA Diving Bangkok
Ep1
A question that people often ask.
Is it more like mountains or seas?
For me, that's the mountain.
For decades, I spent money on two legs walking along the ground, rocks, hills.
Looking around, the rocky mountains are mixed with fluffy white snow and cold wind.
Hardly touched the salinity of the sea.
.
In recent times, I have become closer to SCUBA diving because many people close to me talk about the undersea world.
Until the source of this course, a course to clear the undersea map!
Do you look big? Hahahaha
Let's go...
.
For newbies, no. Going into the sea, let's be a new fin fish.
(Because when you go underwater, your hands are no longer necessary, only Fin.)
Let's start with the Entry course, which is called "Open water course."
It's a dive no more than 18 meters (60 feet) deep.
The price may be more expensive.
About 13,000 baht, but safety loses the loop.
Because I studied with a teacher with a degree to a doctor of underwater medicine with Lycens to teach SCUBA.
The teacher told me that he had taught a person who had drowned in childhood until he couldn't go overboard for 30 years with his heart and self-win.
Now he has become a man to see the water and jump.
.
The main part of this course will consist of two parts.
1. Theory sector - study online group
The content includes the basics to know before SCUBA, equipment and assembly, and diving-induced diseases.
Such as the "Sickness" caused by our coming to the surface too quickly, causing the air inside us to dilate to form symptoms in the body.
Of course, I can't remember, which relies on real practice, and the teacher always says, "In the pool of the water, if something happens, don't blow your head above the water, or you'll be in the habit."
While studying, he also saw himself as a panik, well out and rising above the loud water outside space (bad, bad, vulnerable to clamping water disease).
Of course, friends who study together feel the same, haha.
2. Practice - It is the practice of making skills necessary for new fin fish, which will be organized in the pool and in the sea.
.
In a pool in Bangkok, with the deepest part at 2.5 meters, I imagine a depth of 2.5 meters.
I'm just a 30 cm ruler, about three sticks, but when I see the real thing, it's so deep. 😩
Today begins around ten o'clock in the morning.
By practicing assembly and equipment.
I looked at the gate of the air tank, the needle pointed to 200 bars.
After that, it was the practice of breathing through the mouth, through the nose.
Chasing water from glasses. Changing glasses while underwater.
Ear clearing
Beating the leg. Going up and down while underwater.
And dealing in emergency situations while underwater.
The most important thing is to be calm, to fight "we can" and to be conscious, no matter what happens, as long as there is a breathing tube.
But something unexpected happened when I replaced my snorkel underwater, and I breathed through my mouth instead of air, but it was water!
Makes my legs almost flip into a rocket into the wider world. It's good that the teacher came to help in time with the compliment of the teacher that he is sane but almost hurled, haha.
.
In the end, everything went well.
.
I looked at the red needle, the air tank again, indicating that the air was running out.
As well, with a clock hand that says almost three in the afternoon,
I came home with a new experience in my pocket.
.
The next station is the macaque.
