Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 65 Blue Hole
It rained one night after another, thunder and lightning flashed wildly, and the storm kept fighting against the trees on the island, dragging the branches and leaves, trying to uproot the big trees.

The rain did not stop until seven or eight o'clock the next day.

The clouds dissipated and the sun emerged.

Ye Kai walked on the ground, the sun was still scorching hot, the rain did not have the slightest cooling effect, but instead made the originally hot and humid weather muggy, and this situation is estimated to last the whole day today.

Today I have to go to Tinian Island to take the diving certification test.

Tinian Island no longer belongs to Saipan, but another city in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.But it is not far from Saipan, and the sea view is empty, and it can even be seen faintly when the weather is good.

Although deep diving can be played everywhere on Saipan, after all, they are a group of rookies who are not afraid of 0, but just in case, so the risk factor must be reduced to [-] in the exam.

The mode of transportation is by air, and the ticket is 25 US dollars.

When buying a ticket, the conductor will ask you about your weight and the weight of the items you want to bring, and then arrange a seat for you, from 1-7 from heavy to light.

When Ye Kai saw the plane, he was really confused: "There are still people using this kind of plane?"

He originally thought he was flying over by helicopter, but he never expected that it was the kind of plane during World War II, which flew by the airflow generated by the rotation of the front propeller.

I thought that this kind of aircraft is only used in movies, and it is suitable for parking in museums to be watched by people. I didn't expect that it is still in service in 2019?How old is this antique?

Although it looks scary, the flight process is fairly stable.

The plane does not fly very high, and looking out the window, the scenery is similar to that of a parachute.But listening to the roar of the machine and the sound of the propeller turning, Ye Kai felt the absurdity of going through the times.

Arrive at the examination room on time.

The test has to go through three rounds of diving, scored by the instructor, and finally dive 300 meters to get the certificate.

The 300-meter test is already a small problem for Ye Kai.Yesterday he dived in the water for more than half an hour before going ashore, and it took only a few minutes to reach 300 meters.

This exam can be said to be easy, and I got the diving certificate without any effort, and it is AOW level.

There are many World War II facilities on Tinian Island, such as the remains of the Japanese military communication station, or scenic spots such as Suicide Cliff.Ye Kai felt that islanders were not generally keen on suicide.

There are spots where they committed suicide everywhere, both in Saipan and Tinian.

In addition, there is a large modern luxury casino hotel in Tinian, which is more expensive than the Qingquan Hotel.In the afternoon, Ye Kai took a small plane and returned to Saipan.

Diving in the Blue Cave is the purpose of Ye Kai's learning to dive. Although the attraction to him is not as great as before, it is still worth going.It is located in the northeast corner of Saipan Island and is the most famous and difficult diving site in Saipan.

Ye Kai considers himself a diver who has seen the world. He has dived under the sea for half an hour and has touched a shark. Isn't it a piece of cake to dive from the blue hole to the Pacific Ocean outside?
There are many tourists here, but basically they come here for snorkeling. The underwater photographers who work here make money. Tourists line up to take pictures, and a set costs more than 600 US dollars.

Ye Kai was so jealous that his teeth were sour.

How much money do you have to make this day?

I went to the diving club and said that I would go deep diving in the blue hole. After showing my diving certificate, the person in charge of Ye Kai asked, "How many bottles of oxygen have you used?"

"Six bottles..."

Both were used during training, and a whole bottle was consumed in the ocean.

Just like playing chicken and others ask you how many hours you play, in the diving circle, proficiency is also proportional to how many oxygen cylinders are consumed.

It is said to be an oxygen cylinder, but it is filled with compressed air. Just to understand the image, most people call the bottle an oxygen cylinder.

"Six bottles? Is it so little? It's okay, let's ask two people to accompany you?" He said.

Ye Kai was also afraid of danger, so he agreed.

It's definitely not free, otherwise why would people go into the water to protect you?But Ye Kai thinks this cost is acceptable, he really wants to see why the Blue Hole is rated as the second best cave diving in the world.

Putting on the diving suit in the club, Ye Kai came to the blue cave with two divers.

No matter the month of the year, the number of visitors to the Blue Hole is steady, and any time you come here, there will always be a lot of people taking pictures or diving here.

Seen from the shore, the water in the Blue Hole is hidden under the stones. To get into the water, you must go down a step with more than 100 steps.

There is only one way to enter the water, and that is to jump off a stone more than one meter above the water surface. This is the simplest and most practical method.

The two divers are frequent divers here. After finishing their equipment, they went into the water first. Ye Kai waited for them to get out of the way before jumping down. Then the two came to help Ye Kai put the oxygen cylinder on his back.

This is the only benefit of spending money, thousands of dollars, more expensive than these people's artistic photos.

The actions of several people attracted many tourists who were swimming on the water surface, and they looked curiously at the three people who were checking their equipment.

Most of the tourists here are snorkeling or freediving tourists. Only professional divers can go deep diving in the blue hole. Most of the people who come to travel do not have diving certificates.

The exam is too troublesome, not to mention expensive, and it will take a long time.

Finally checked the motion camera and found that it was working normally, Ye Kai bit his respirator and nodded to them.Then the three of them released the air from the BCD together and dived down at the same time.

In another world, the ocean not only cuts off the noisy sounds of outside tourists, but also cuts off the bright sunshine.

A deep blue underwater.

The blue color underwater in the blue hole is known as the only example in the world, the unique electric light blue.This color cannot be seen anywhere else.

"Very beautiful." Ye Kai thought.

Unable to speak now, he gestured: "Let's go?"

The two divers gestured OK to him.

They have swum here countless times, and sometimes even bring people who don't know how to dive to swim here, that's called trouble.

The biggest difficulty is balancing the pressure.

Tourists have not systematically learned to dive. In addition to ear pressure, sometimes water will enter the mask.Now that the tourist has his own diving certificate, this trip should be much easier.

In the distance of this deep blue ocean, there is a cave shaped like a huge mouth. This is where Ye Kai and the others are going. They will swim from here to the Pacific Ocean in the distance.

It is difficult to see larger underwater animals in this open water. Tourists coming and going make many marine life living here swim to the depths of the blue hole, or go directly to the Pacific Ocean.
