蓝星 bluestarstsl's blog: 停泊岛之旅(二)。holiday in Perhentian Island(2)

第二天一大早我们就到潜水中心那里。
这一天我们就开始下海了。
首先，教练教我们选面镜、潜水衣和蛙鞋。
要选适合的道具还真得很讲究。
然后他教我们怎么检查氧气瓶，还有穿上BCD浮力衣。
每个人都需要带上压铅，为了让我们能在水里平衡。
我只需要穿上3个压铅。
一个压铅就1.5公斤重，可想3个压铅有多重。
我们当中最多需要带上4个压铅。

We went to the diving center in the early morning.
Today we are going to go into the sea today.
First, our instructor taught us how to choose the equipment such as goggle, diving suit and fins.
It’s very important to choose suitable equipment for diving.
Then he taught us to check our oxygen tank, and wear BCD suit.
Every one of us has to wear weight belt, to able us to balance in the underwater.
I need to wear 3 weights on my weight belt.
One weight is around 1.5 KG, imagine 3 weights is how heavy.
Among us the most is wear around 4 weights around his weight belt.

过后我们就倒海里，当然不是去很深的地方，大概只有6米深。
他教我们怎么用咬嘴呼吸器呼吸，还好我有游泳的底子，而且不怕水，才不会觉得困难。
当我们在水里的时候要膝盖着地。
我们5个由同一个教练教，那些怕水的就有点困难。
我们也得学水里的手势。
在水里不能说话，要传达讯息就要用手势啦！
午餐时就休息一下子，然后又继续下水。

Then we go into the sea, of course not very deep, around 6 meter.
Instructor teach us how to breathe with the regulator, luckily I learned swimming before, not scare of water, so it’s quite easy for me.
When we were in the sea we have to touch the ground with out knee.
5 of us have the same instructor; those who scare of water will have some problem.
We also have to learn hand signal in the water.
We can’t talk in the water, so we use hand signal to send messages.
Have a little rest at lunch time; then again we were down into deep sea.

have some chat with the people there

其实我真得很高兴可以下水，每天都迫不及待的期待下水。
我想我和ah Y的进展是最快的吧！
不知道为什么我总觉得每次自己都做得非常好，教练所示范的我都做得到。
不知道我是太自恋还是什么，我真的觉得自己做得很好，好像没什么事难倒我的。

Actually I was very happy to go into the sea, everyday waiting to go into the sea.
Ah Y and I have a big improvement.
Don’t know why every time I feel I did very best, everything that instructor taught I made it.
Don’t know weather I was over confident, I really think that I did the best, like nothing can make me down.

alex and ah y acting hardworking... haha...

可是长辈们听到潜水或海或有关水的都很不放心。
我爸爸在我出发前也一直提醒下还潜水要小心，要检查氧气瓶剩下的氧气。
还有上水面是不能太快，会造成氮气中毒。

But our parent become worried when listen that we want to go diving or about sea or water.
My dad did tell me have to be very careful when learn diving; have to always check my remaining oxygen.
When going to the sea surface have to go up slow and steady, if not will have nitrogen necrosis.

敏的家人也是很担心，还说什么欺山不欺水。
意思是说在陆地上要怎么样都可以，而海或水里是我们不能控制的。
就算有很高明的潜水师带我们下水，意外还是可能发生。

Mei’s parent was worried too.
There is a saying in Chinese that translate as: you can bully the mountain but not the sea.
That means that you can do whatever on the land, but when it’s about the sea, we can’t control much.
Even we have a very high experience of diving instructor lead us into the sea, accident still can happen.

我觉得不用那么担心，人生只有一次，什么都应该尝试。
当然，我不会去冒着生命危险的。
我会好好照顾自己。

I think that we shouldn’t try too much; this is once in a life time, we have to try everything that we want.
Of course, I will never go risk my life.
I will take care of myself.

傍晚，我们就在海边玩排球。
in the evening, we play volleyball at the beach.
