San Gong Video · New 360 Tour Diving Coach

Original title: With the sea as the office and the sun, the moon and the stars as companions

"You can never imagine what kind of world you can see when you dive into the bottom!" Liu Yanzhe is a "post-95" diving coach. Since he started diving in 2019, he seems to have opened the door to a new world.

"When diving in the open water, what impressed me most was that I finally saw the Nimo clown fish in the previous cartoon with my own eyes. It swam in front of me, which was amazing." Recalling the scene of the first underwater diving, Liu Yanzhe was still very excited. "The whales passing by, the fish swarming around, the turtles prowling in the coral swarms... all these are full of unknown freshness." The ocean accounts for 71% of the earth's area. Learning to dive means that we have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of 71% of the earth.

Liu Yanzhe hopes to share this unique happiness with more people. In 2021, he obtained the qualifications of free diving coach of AIDA (International Association for Free Diving Development) and scuba diving coach of PADI (International Professional Diving Training System), and then began to teach as a coach. Today, he has helped more than 100 students obtain relevant diving qualifications.

At present, popular diving projects mainly include scuba diving, free diving and "mermaid" diving. Scuba requires divers to carry gas cylinders into the water; "Mermaid" is more ornamental; Free diving is more difficult. In contrast, scuba diving is easier to master. Therefore, if you want to experience diving when traveling to islands, scuba diving is a popular choice.

Although diving is a relatively niche extreme sport, in recent years, with the continuous promotion of We Media, more and more children have begun to contact and systematically learn diving. According to Liu Yanzhe's observation, many parents were not at ease about this sport at the beginning and would watch us in class; When they gradually trust them, they will want to participate when they see their children having fun. "I will take a family of three into the water together, and that picture is very warm, which makes me feel very successful." Liu Yanzhe said that he hopes that through his teaching, more people can understand diving, love diving, and even have more understanding of marine environmental protection.

There is a saying in the diving coach circle: "We take the sea as our office and the sun, moon and stars as our companions." Although this sounds very romantic, to obtain the qualification of a coach, we must gradually pass multiple levels of examinations. Not only that, but also the time cost to become a scuba instructor: before formally obtaining the teaching qualification, divers must have more than 100 diving records in open water. After getting the coach certificate, it still needs a long time of practice. Only by keeping good underwater condition, can the coach be able to deal with various problems that students may have.

Liu Yanzhe said: "Although there are people who take the diving coach certificate test every year, only a few people will stick to this industry, and more people take the test because they love diving." (Wang Xianru, reporter of Workers Daily - China Industrial Network, is available)
