Anyone who has been diving knows that a truly good diving spot is neither too close to the shore nor too far from it, but rather in a place with moderate waves and not too far away.
Snake brought Bai Yu and the others to this area of the sea, which was not too far from the shore, appearing to be only about one kilometer away.
In addition, the day they set off was sunny and there wasn't much wind on the sea, so overall it was a very good day.
It's also worth mentioning that the seawater where Bai Yu and his crew lived was very clear, and the underwater resources were also very abundant.
At the same time, the water where they were located was not very deep, only about ten meters deep.
A depth of ten meters is equivalent to the height of a four-story building. While there is water pressure at this depth, it is within the range that humans can withstand.
Located about one kilometer from the coast, the seawater is crystal clear, rich in resources, and calm. Isn't this the perfect place for diving?
But what intrigued Bai Yu about this place was that no one came here. When Snake brought them here, apart from their yacht, there was only one other yacht fishing; the sea was completely empty.
If this were in China, a sea area like this, suitable for diving, would definitely be contracted out to certain companies for tourists to dive in, and other people who didn't pay would be prevented from coming.
Don't ask Bai Yu how he knows. He's from Hainan Province, where there are too many companies that do this kind of thing. In short, wherever there's a place suitable for tourism, there will inevitably be companies that contract it out and then prevent the public from entering.
Even if you pay to play, they'll suddenly raise the price at the last minute, making your experience unpleasant.
That's why Bai Yu had seen far too many shady businesses in Hainan Province. When the authorities asked him to be a spokesperson for Hainan Province and invited netizens to visit, he refused the invitation because he felt ashamed.
It's not that Bai Yu doesn't welcome netizens to visit their area, but he's afraid that tourists will be taken advantage of!
As Bai Yu changed into a diving suit, put on a snorkel and flippers, he prepared to go into the water.
As someone who grew up by the sea, Bai Yu had naturally dived before, but he always used an oxygen tank when he dived. He had never tried diving with a snorkel like this before.
Furthermore, according to Snake, the breathing tube he prepared for Bai Yu is a completely dry one, which can provide Bai Yu with oxygen underwater for ten to twenty minutes, depending on Bai Yu's consumption.
After Bai Yu went into the water, Snake also came down with a snorkel in his mouth. He first taught Bai Yu how to use the snorkel on the surface of the sea, and then let Bai Yu dive a little to get used to it.
After Bai Yu felt that everything was alright, he let Bai Yu go diving on her own, while he stayed by Bai Yu's side, keeping a close eye on her condition.
As for Wang Hai and Coach Li, they all have teachers, but it's a bit more troublesome to teach them.
Because the people Snake brought with him only had a rudimentary level of Chinese, and they were all young people around Snake's age.
These people had to learn by gesturing and guessing when communicating with Wang Hai, Coach Li, and others, and then combine that with the actual situation. It took them a long time to figure out how to dive.
On the other hand, Bai Yu was holding a harpoon and had two nets hanging from his waist. He waded headfirst into the water.
By swinging its flippers one after another, Bai Yu got closer and closer to the bottom of the water, and the scenery of the seabed came into full view.
Bai Yu naturally wanted to record these beautiful scenes, a fact Snake was well aware of.
So before Bai Yu went into the water, he installed an underwater camera on Bai Yu's diving suit and filmed the scene Bai Yu saw from almost a first-person perspective.
Furthermore, there are drone cameras in the air, recording every little thing happening on Bai Yu's side.
Snake knew that Bai Yu was an athlete who frequented the internet and had things he needed to record and share.
He met Bai Yu through these videos, so he was naturally very well prepared for their time together.
Sometimes Bai Yu was a little dazed, as if what Snake was doing could no longer be called being a fan; he was doing it much better than his assistant.
At least Bai Yu's official assistant, Wang Hai, couldn't do that much. He only helped Bai Yu by filming videos and carrying things during the competition.
How about we hire Snake as an assistant?
This method doesn't seem to be going to work. Judging from what Snake has prepared, he doesn't seem like someone who's short of money.
Moreover, Snake himself is a moderately popular internet celebrity. Even if he doesn't earn a lot, he certainly doesn't lose money.
Even if entertaining Bai Yu these past few days seemed like he was taking advantage of Bai Yu, considering all the things Snake did for Bai Yu...
Even if Snake is really just trying to gain attention, Bai Yu is willing to let him. It's just a matter of him appearing in Snake's videos to increase his exposure and fans.
As long as the video doesn't have any ads, Bai Yu will have no problem, since Snake was very well prepared.
When Bai Yu and the others came out to play with Snake, they didn't need to worry about anything else, except for food; Snake took care of everything else.
The reason why meals are not included is because Bai Yu is an athlete, and an athlete who is about to participate in a competition, so he needs to pay attention to his diet.
Even at the bonfire party a few days ago, Bai Yu ate mostly things he caught himself while beachcombing, and nothing left his sight.
As for the barbecue that Snake arranged for him, it all ended up in Wang Hai's stomach. In this respect, Wang Hai was a very reliable assistant.
After Coach Li and his team arrived, Bai Yu's meals were handed over to the logistics team. Since that's their job, they naturally had to ensure Bai Yu's food safety.
Bai Yu, holding a steel fork, plunged into the seabed, his hands reaching the underwater rocks.
The feeling was very different. Looking at the seaweed and reefs on the seabed, and then at the little fish swimming past him without any fear, it was a truly magical feeling.
Soon, Bai Yu spotted a long tendril sticking out from a crevice in a rock. He was very familiar with this kind of tendril, and there must be a lobster inside.
I'm not sure if it's a small green lobster, a spotted lobster, or a Boston lobster.
Anyway, Snake had already told him that whatever kind of lobster it was, Snake could catch anything in the sea that wasn't on the international protected list, as long as they were diving here. Snake had already applied for permission.
Actually, if Bai Yu and his group weren't foreigners, Snake and his locals could easily dive and catch seafood here.
With Snake's assurance, Bai Yu approached the whisker with his harpoon, ready to attack the lobster.
What? Shouldn't lobsters be caught by hand? Wouldn't using a harpoon just ruin the lobster's appearance?
Dude, are you alright? What kind of decent person can catch a lobster in the ocean with their bare hands? Do you think Bai Yu is some kind of sea god who can come and go freely in the ocean?
Let me put it this way: when we humans swim in the ocean, the fastest we can go is a little over two meters per second, but if we measure it by hour, we can only swim a little over three kilometers per hour, less than four kilometers.
This is still a world record speed; the average person swims much slower and simply cannot swim for an hour at a time.
In the ocean, with the exception of a very few types of fish, such as the ocean sunfish, which is known for its slow speed, all other sea fish are faster than humans.
Humans can only catch a very limited amount of seafood by hand while diving; it can only catch some shellfish or invertebrates such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and starfish.
Lobster? Don't be ridiculous. You couldn't catch it by hand, even if you worked yourself to death.
As Bai Hao found the right angle, he discovered a flower lobster in a crevice in the reef. This guy was quite big, about the size of Bai Yu's forearm.
This large size also provided Bai Yu with a very good target.
He then aimed the harpoon at the lobster and pulled the trigger. The harpoon shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the lobster.
As the harpoon pierced the lobster's shell, Bai Yu seemed to hear a "plop" sound (his brain created the sound), and the lobster was thus captured.
Bai Yu then swam towards the lobster, picked up the harpoon, and showed the lobster to the camera.
It must be said that human ingenuity is truly remarkable. Relying on harpoons, white fishermen were able to hunt on the seabed, and even catch a four- or five-pound lobster, a high-end seafood.
Despite the fact that the lobster had been pierced by a harpoon, Bai Yu aimed for its tail, not its head.
So the lobsters are currently only injured, not dead.
Bai Yu pressed the creature's head down, removed it from the harpoon, and then put it into the net.
He then reattached the harpoon to the launcher and continued searching for his prey on the seabed.
