Chapter 74 Shocking Scene
The Great Blue Hole is about 70 kilometers away from where I live.
When Xu An and his group set off, many other ships also departed at the same time, all heading to the Great Blue Hole for diving.
The Great Blue Hole, one of the world's most famous diving destinations, welcomes new visitors every day.
As the boat gradually slowed down, Kent stood up and began to explain the precautions.
Those with certification can freedive, whether scuba or freediving, but it is recommended to form a team of three or more.
Those without identification were led by Kent and several of his colleagues.
"Does anyone have any questions? You can ask any questions now," Kent said loudly.
Seeing that no one asked any questions, Kent nodded slightly. "Welcome everyone to the Great Blue Hole in Belize! Please enjoy your diving experience!"
The ship stopped.
A stretch of clear, azure seawater appeared before everyone's eyes.
We've arrived at the Great Blue Hole.
Besides Kent's ship, there were many other boats in the vicinity, all of which were there for diving.
Above, you can see low-altitude sightseeing fixed-wing aircraft, and the roar of their propellers can be heard from time to time.
Viewing the Great Blue Hole underwater is one kind of scenery, while viewing it from the sky is another.
"Xu, could you please fasten this for me?" Ivy was putting on her diving gear, and her back was a little difficult to fasten.
On the way here, Ivy and Xu An had already agreed that they would go diving together.
Xu An agreed after learning that Ivy possessed the highest level of diving certification.
"Xu An, can I come with you?" Liu Qing suddenly walked over and asked.
Xu An paused in putting on his diving gear, glancing at the other side with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Aren't you going with your friends?"
Liu Qing said with a smile, "Didn't Kent suggest that teams of three or more people be formed? I saw that there are only two of you, so I came to help you make up the number."
Xu An and Ivy exchanged a glance. Ivy shrugged indifferently, "Xu, if Liu wants to come, let her come."
"Do you have identification?" Xu An asked.
"Of course, TDI, Trimix is high-end." Liu Qing raised an eyebrow.
Ivy was a little surprised, "Liu, I didn't expect you to be so amazing."
TDI is an abbreviation for Technical Diving International.
The world's largest and most authoritative technical diving certification body, specializing in certification for deep-sea diving, decompression, cave diving, and CCR respirators.
Trimix is a mixture of helium, nitrogen, and oxygen.
Trimix is advanced, meaning it can dive to depths of 60 meters or more, representing hardcore deep-sea diving technology.
It's impressive that Liu Qing was able to obtain this certification. Only 2% of people in the global diving community hold it.
Xu An glanced sideways, his eyes showing surprise.
After updating his status to "Cave Diving Master," Xu An crammed on a lot of knowledge about diving.
It's obvious to everyone that Trimix is a high-end product.
"Okay, check all the equipment carefully." Xu An accepted Liu Qing's participation.
the other side.
Yang Zhenghong looked at Xu An and muttered discontentedly, "Tch, what's so great about him? Being handsome doesn't mean you're a good diver."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask Gao Qianxun, "Gao Qianxun, isn't Liu Qing your good friend? Why did she team up with someone else?"
Gao Qianxun paused in her gear-wearing movements, turning her head to glance over there: "Maybe she's got her eye on Xu An. It's alright, don't worry about her. Let's do our own thing. She's got the Trimix advanced certification."
Yang Zhenghong wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back at the last moment.
Gao Qianxun and Yuan Jing are friends. Liu Qing is Gao Qianxun's friend and has met Yuan Jing and the others once, but they are not very familiar with each other.
"Hey, hey, hey." Xu Zhao nudged Yang Zhenghong with his elbow. "You wouldn't happen to like Liu Qing, would you?"
Yang Zhenghong immediately became agitated and lowered his voice, "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't like her type at all!"
Xu Zhao smiled meaningfully, "Alright, alright, I know you like mature, sophisticated women, I was just teasing you."
"Get out! Get out!" Yang Zhenghong cursed irritably, as if his little secret had been discovered, and then went on to put on his equipment.
"Check one last time to make sure there are no problems," Xu An said, sitting on the edge of the boat, reminding everyone again.
Ivy and Liu Qing nodded: "No problem."
"Okay, let's go in." Xu An pressed down on the diving mask and mouthpiece with one hand, leaned back and plunged into the water, splashing up a spray of water.
Immediately afterwards, Ivy and Liu Qing also leaned back and fell into the water.
The three met underwater.
Xu An gestured for the two of them to follow him.
Ivy and Liu Qing gave each other an OK sign.
The three began to dive underwater.
The three of them descended very quickly.
The Great Blue Hole is an underwater cave connected to the marine ecosystem. Diving in the Great Blue Hole allows you to see many marine creatures that you can't see in inland rivers like the Freshwater Jellyfish Skylight.
As Xu An and his two companions descended, they could see many other divers also diving down, as well as some playing around ten or twenty meters deep.
The seawater is crystal clear, with various small marine fish swimming around, and you can even spot small sharks near the coral reefs.
As for what kind of shark it was, Xu An didn't know.
He was just a diver, not a marine biologist.
Sharks are among the most powerful creatures in the ocean, and there are many different species.
When Xu An continued to descend to 30 meters, he stopped, glanced at Ivy and Liu Qing, and gestured to ask if they were alright.
The two said everything was okay.
In that case, let's continue diving.
Before long, the three of them saw the unique giant stalactites of the Great Blue Hole.
Stalactite columns formed during the Ice Age are fixed in the seawater, creating a unique marine cave spectacle.
The beauty of this scenery can only be discovered by diving into the water and observing it with the naked eye.
This is something that a camera cannot capture.
This is why a large number of tourists flock to the Great Blue Hole every year.
After admiring the unique landscape along the stalactite columns, Xu An gestured to continue downwards.
Ivy and Liu Qing nodded, indicating that they could.
When they descended to a depth of 40 meters, they could barely see any other divers.
In the vast ocean, the three figures appeared exceptionally small.
If viewed from a third-person perspective, they would appear as insignificant specks of dust in the ocean, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.
As he swam, Xu An realized something was wrong.
He was surrounded by many small fish whose names he did not recognize.
He reached out and gently caught a small blue fish. It wasn't afraid or tried to escape; instead, it nuzzled Xu An's hand with its head.
This wondrous sight left Ivy and Liu Qing, who were three steps behind Xu An, wide-eyed with amazement and shock.
"Could it be because of the fish's constitution?" Xu Anxin wondered, and could only attribute it all to the fish's constitution.
At that moment, a small shark rushed over from the side and headed straight for Xu An.
Ivy and Liu Qing, who were behind Xu An, noticed this scene. Their eyes widened, and they frantically made hand gestures and "woo woo woo" sounds, trying to remind Xu An.
Xu An seemed to sense something, turned his head and saw a shark right in front of him. He almost instinctively raised his hand to block it.
To everyone's surprise, the shark didn't open its mouth to bite Xu An. Instead, it tilted its head and rubbed the side of its head against Xu An's body.
Ivy and Liu Qing were stunned; this scene was far more shocking than the previous sight of small fish surrounding them.
Although the shark was not very big, only about three meters long.
But no matter what, it's still a shark! One of the apex predators of the ocean, taking a bite out of a piece of flesh is definitely not a problem for it.
Not to mention in the deep sea right now.
Once bitten and bleeding occurs, there's absolutely no escape.
Xu An looked surprised and reached out to gently stroke the shark's back.
It seemed to enjoy Xu An's caresses, hovering around him.
As for the small fish that had been surrounding it, they were all scared away.
