Chapter 53 Cave Diving Certification System

After four days of training, Xu An and Jiang Xiyan, both beginners, obtained their OW certification. OW stands for Open Water Diver, which is the most basic certification for beginner divers.

According to domestic regulations, to participate in cave diving, one must hold the corresponding professional certification and be accompanied by an instructor.

You must at least hold a Cavern certification, which is a cave diver certification.

This certificate is the basic certificate for beginners in cave diving.

Without this permit, cave diving is prohibited.

Even though Xu An and his team had Lao Mao, the top cave diver in China, leading the way, cave diving was still prohibited.

Old Cat led the team to the first skylight of the Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight, ostensibly for practical training, but in reality, it was to prepare Xu An and the others for obtaining their AOW (Advanced Open Water Diver) certification.

From OW to AOW, the next steps are Rescue and Cavern.

Rescue, short for rescue diver, is a certification required for technical and cave diving.

This certification primarily covers underwater self-rescue, handling panicked dive buddies, searching for missing persons, underwater rescue, surface towing, and emergency first aid...

Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight is located in the Du'an Underground River National Geopark, a famous cave diving destination.

When Xu An and his group arrived, there were already quite a few tourists playing in the vicinity.

A tourist noticed Xu An and his group carrying large bags of equipment and asked curiously, "Are you here to go diving?"

Xu An smiled and replied, "Yes."

The tourists immediately asked with some envy, "How much does it cost per ride?"

Xu An raised his head towards the tourists, "Go ask Old Cat, he's the coach."

Old Cat naturally noticed the conversation. He kept typing and said, "Experience diving isn't expensive, only a few hundred yuan. If you want to try it later, you can go to White Shark Diving International Club. They have professional instructors there."

During the explanation, Lao Mao also promoted his club.

"It's really not that expensive." The tourist nodded, looking at Xu An and his group with some envy.

Diving is a very attractive sport, especially for people living inland.

Many tourists looked at Xu An and his group with curiosity and envy.

After putting on their gear and checking that everything was in order, the group prepared to go into the water.

Before going into the water, Old Cat emphasized again, "Remember what I told you, stay calm. I'll lead the way, and Zhang Su will bring up the rear. Any questions, communicate in the water. Do you have any questions?"

They all shook their heads.

"Okay, let's go." Old Cat was the first to enter the water.

Next came Xu An, followed by Jiang Xiyan, Feng Yingying, and Zhang Su at the rear.

The group of five entered the water and quickly disappeared from the tourists' sight.

One tourist couldn't help but say enviously, "I really want to go scuba diving too. I'll go ask about the White Shark Diving Club that person mentioned earlier."

The water at the Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight is very clear, classified as Class I water. In addition, the weather is great today, with sunlight shining through the surface and into the water, creating a sparkling effect.

The old cat didn't take them very deep; they were only about ten meters underwater.

"So beautiful!"

Jiang Xiyan stared wide-eyed at the drifting peach blossom jellyfish before her.

There are white ones and pink ones.

It swam freely in the water, expanding and contracting.

Jiang Xiyan held an action camera in one hand and took a series of photos of the freshwater jellyfish, then turned the action camera around and took a group photo with the freshwater jellyfish.

Feng Yingying was also attracted to the freshwater jellyfish.

The beam of light took shape in the water, and the freshwater jellyfish looked like clouds floating in the light. The two girls were having a great time playing in the water.

Xu An was also attracted by the freshwater jellyfish and marveled at the wonders of nature.

Before the discovery of the freshwater jellyfish, who would have known that such an ancient creature lived beneath this pool?

For the next period of time, Lao Mao brought Xu An and the others to the Peach Blossom Jellyfish Skylight every day.

They also successfully completed the certification exams for AOW, Rescue, Cavern, and Intro to Cave in sequence.

Intro to Cave, or beginner cave diver certification, is required to perform closed, lightless cave dives.

It took about twenty days to go from OW to Intro to Cave.

The White Shark Diving International Club, founded by Lao Mao, is qualified to take all certification exams in the entire cave diving system.

"You three are very talented; you're among the fastest learners I've ever taught," Old Cat said with a smile.

Zhang Su already possessed the Intro to Cave pass.

Therefore, he was excluded.

"That's because you taught me so well, Cat Brother," Feng Yingying said with a smile.

After spending about twenty days together, we've become friends.

However, during this period of research, something happened that was neither a big deal nor a small one.

Seeing Jiang Xiyan chatting and laughing with Xu An every day, Zhang Su felt very uncomfortable. He decided to end his diving trip to Du'an and found Jiang Xiyan to tell her that he was going to leave Du'an.

As a result, Jiang Xiyan rejected him.

He stated frankly that he wanted to obtain the certification to conduct a complete cave diving expedition.

Zhang Su had no choice but to speak, so he went to tell Feng Yingying to persuade Jiang Xiyan.

However, it didn't have much effect. Although Feng Yingying was also friends with Zhang Su, her relationship with Jiang Xiyan was clearly closer.

This led to Zhang Su becoming increasingly displeased with Xu An.

Xu An naturally noticed his attitude.

Knowing full well what was going on, he ignored it. In his eyes, Zhang Su's behavior was no different from that of a child.

evening.

Several people sat in a food stall.

"You all have your certifications now, so we can officially start cave diving tomorrow," Old Cat said.

"Great! We can finally go cave diving!" Jiang Xiyan cheered, her little face beaming with a bright smile.

Feng Yingying, standing beside her, also seemed somewhat excited.

They've been diving countless times over the past twenty-odd days, all for this one day!

Cave diving will be the first step in their "explorer career".

Having spent so many days together, they naturally learned about the old cat's legendary experiences.

This is an age when people naturally admire the strong.

"Brother Cat, do you think we have the potential to become explorers?" Jiang Xiyan asked Old Cat excitedly.

Under the bright, sparkling gazes of the two girls, Old Cat smiled and said, "Of course, didn't I just say that you two are the most talented students I've ever seen?"

The two women smiled happily after receiving the old cat's approval.

"Everyone, go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow for your first cave dive, taking your first step as explorers," Old Cat said with a smile.

"Okay!" Jiang Xiyan and the other woman smiled and readily agreed.

As the sun sets, the day comes to an end.

Xu An was also secretly looking forward to tomorrow's cave diving.

Although he had the constitution of a fish, he did not dare to act recklessly and still followed the rules.

If you're unlucky and someone finds out, you're finished.

Moreover, the mission of the "Cave Diving Master" requires him to break the world record. If the goal is to break the world record, then if no one knows about it, can it still be called breaking the world record?

Since he wanted the world to know, he naturally couldn't recklessly use the fish's physique for cave diving.

To be precise, Xu An's fish-like physique is his means of survival; the fact that he can breathe underwater alone makes him virtually invincible.
