Outdoor diving skills and secrets

Scuba diving is a kind of diving with a compressed air bottle (not many people think it is an oxygen bottle) and an underwater respirator to breathe underwater. This is a real dive. The following are the outdoor diving skills I shared. Welcome to read and browse.

Secret trick 1? Slow down your speed.

The photographer and editor of the coral reef fish identification book said, "When diving, too many people want to see everything on the coral reef, so they swim too fast. However, the more you do this, the less you can see things. In fact, many kinds of creatures in the water have protective colors, which can avoid the attack of predators; Not surprisingly, if you swim too fast and too hard, you will be fooled by their protective colors. If you can swim slowly and stop from time to time, you can detect the subtle movements of those creatures, which will definitely make you exclaim, "Wow! Where did that thing come from? ",but in fact it has been.

Secret skill two? Find the right place

There is a joke in the west that "a drunk stood under a street lamp looking for his wallet and kept asking passers-by why he didn't turn on the light." There are many divers who are almost like drunks underwater. I only noticed the striking corals and fish there. In fact, the seemingly ordinary sand around the corals is often the habitat of more creatures. Learn to find things in the sand, and you are half right!

Secret skill 3? Bring a tablet computer.

Have you ever had the experience that when you were diving, you saw a strange fish and said to yourself, "I must look through the books when I go ashore, find the fish and get to know it." ",but usually I can't remember the appearance of the fish after landing. Take a clipboard into the water and describe the appearance, characteristics and color of this fish, which will definitely help you, because this action forces you to remember what is special about that fish.

Secret skill 4? Learn to recognize fish.

Learn from the most fundamental aspects and enrich your knowledge. Try to understand the species and habits of fish. For example, we can lock several special fish species from fish books and remember their characteristics. Next time you won't say to others, "I know it's a tropical fish, but I don't know what kind?" I don't know what's so special about that fish. 」

Secret skill 5? Associate the name of the fish with the fish.

A name is a link in memory. When you know the name of a fish, you will naturally notice the fish whose name you don't know. Over time, you will learn more and more. Man is a language animal. Let's name all the creatures in the world and try to identify the yellowtail next time we go into the water. Just like we usually do file management, we name one file and then file it and deal with the next one.

Secret skill 6? Learning terminology

Learning terminology will enable you to describe a fish more accurately. For example, the more careful the identification of fish, the better. For example, there are thick straight stripes, thick horizontal stripes, thin stripes, etc ... The more detailed the terms describing the appearance characteristics of fish, the easier it is to ask people about a wide variety of coral fish.

Secret 7? Small oaks grow into big oaks.

Don't expect you to recognize twenty new fish at once. If you want to know twenty kinds of fish at once, you may be confused and finally you won't recognize one. The best way to start is to lock in two or three kinds of fish until you can recognize them at a glance, then add two or three kinds of fish and continue.

Secret skill 8? Keep the impression of fish in your mind.

Read fish books before diving, not just after diving. This principle is the same as the exam, preview before the exam, preview the fish you want to identify before entering the water, and have the impression of fish in your mind; Review after the exam. After diving, look for the shapes and colors you described in the water, and then review the habits of fish, such as how deep the fish is, what special habits it has, and so on. Once you do the back and forth, you will never forget it.
