Li Du was puzzled by Max's words. His diving goggles were in the water and then he came to the surface. How could he be praised? How could Sophie and Li Du be criticized?
Brother Wolf approached him and whispered, "Boss, didn't you pay attention to the oxygen cylinder reading?"
They were undergoing deep diving training, so of course they would bring oxygen cylinders into the water. Under normal circumstances, the air in the cylinder could keep people in the water for half an hour to 40 minutes.
Initially, Max had told them to pay attention to the numbers on the diving computer at all times during the dive. Under normal circumstances, the numbers displayed on the computer were usually 200.
Li Du calmly looked at his own oxygen cylinder meter, which showed only 42. He looked at the other three and saw that the numbers were all below 50.
According to the requirements, if the number on the meter was as low as 50, they had to tell their partners and coaches to prepare to surface and leave the ocean, which was a dangerous number.
Apparently, Max had tampered with their oxygen cylinders, but they were too excited to notice it after entering the water.
Li Du didn't notice it either, but he was lucky. Earlier, when the goggles were in the water, he took the initiative to surface, which made Max think that he and Brother Wolf had noticed the problem with the oxygen cylinders.
In fact, among the four of them, only Brother Wolf paid attention to this.
Max and his assistant kept setting traps for them. These traps were common difficulties that they would encounter when diving, so Max asked them to be aware of them in advance.
While experiencing these problems and difficulties in the water, Max also taught them to improve their diving skills.
Deep diving was the beginning of diving, and snorkeling was just a stepping stone. Li Du's previous behavior of harvesting black gold abalone was not diving, but fooling around in the water.
After systematic learning, they began to come into contact with freediving. In this way, a new world slowly opened up to them.
The underwater world was so beautiful, with a large number of marine creatures and plants flourishing. Before freediving, they could also come into contact with life in the ocean through the clear water.
However, it was like standing outside the glass of an aquarium and could only look at the underwater creatures in a giant glass tank, while they could participate in freediving.
Max showed them how powerful he was. Without any equipment, he could dive hundreds of meters deep into the water and then swim around like a fish.
However, at this depth, there was no visible light in the ocean. Li Du could see through the little bug, but the others could not see anything.
In fact, diving in the ocean for twenty meters was enough. The underwater world at this depth was the most beautiful and prosperous. Any deeper and the sunlight would not be able to penetrate, and the marine ecosystem would not be very exciting.
Diving mainly depended on experience. This was similar to being a sharpshooter. The way you fired was the same. To become a sharpshooter, you had to rely on bullets. You had to keep shooting.
Similarly, there were only a few diving postures and skills. To become a master diver, one needed to dive more, spend more time in the water, pay attention to safety, and maintain health. The longer one stayed in the water, the better one's diving ability would be.
Of course, to become a world-class diver like David Malins, one had to rely on extraordinary talent and physique.
At most, Li Du and the others could dive to a depth of 20 meters. That was something an ordinary person could do. They did not need to have extraordinary talent or physique.
After spending five days following Max and learning about freediving, Li Du and the others continued to go deeper into the sea to harvest black gold abalone. This way, Li Du and the others felt much more confident.
Max told them that freediving was a group extreme activity. When they went into the water, someone had to follow them and give first aid immediately if there was a problem. This was double insurance.
When they returned to King Island this time, they were going to do a big job, so they were going to rent a boat for a long time.
Most of the boats on King Island were tourist yachts, and the rental price was more expensive.
After discussing it, Li Du and the others wanted to rent a fishing boat. The price was cheap and enough for them. Anyway, they only went offshore, not out to sea.
"Let's go see how much a new boat costs. If it's right, maybe we can buy a new boat because we have a fishing license. Maybe we'll come here every year," Hans said.
Li Du thought it made sense and decided to go to the shipping company first. If there was a suitable new boat, they would buy one.
Australia was a maritime country with many ship manufacturers. Among them, there was a ship company in Melbourne called Monster Ocean Heavy Industries, which was famous for its ships.
Hans found their salesman on the Internet. After getting in touch, the salesman learned that they were in Melbourne and took the initiative to pick them up for a visit.
The salesman, named Rooney Cade, was an energetic middle-aged man with red hair. When he got out of the car, he shook hands with them and then began to talk about yachts and ships.
They went directly to the factory of Monster Ocean Heavy Industries on the coast of the suburbs, where the company had a number of production lines and assembly workshops, as well as a display platform.
Monster Ocean Heavy Industries produced a wide variety of ships, including leisure boats, business communication boats, racing boats, fishing boats, private boats, police patrol boats, and harbor surveillance boats.
In addition, there were fireboats, salvage boats, fishing boats, fishing boats, work boats, crew boats, exploration boats, cable boats, search and rescue boats, and so on. In short, they covered almost all kinds of ships.
On the way, Rooney was very enthusiastic, introducing them one by one and asking what they needed.
"We're going to harvest black gold abalone, so we think an ordinary pleasure boat will do. We don't need a very luxurious yacht," said Li Du.
Rooney nodded and said, "Yes, I understand this. Leisure boats, ordinary work boats, and fishing boats are relatively suitable for your work, and they're cheap and good."
"Then do you have any good recommendations?" asked Li Du.
Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Li Du didn't mind giving him a business, but it shouldn't be a big business. He didn't want to buy a very expensive yacht.
Rooney touched his nose and said, "I already have an idea, but I don't think it's useful for me to introduce them to you now. You have to visit them, get close to them, and then if you encounter a suitable boat, your heart will tell you that it belongs to you."
After driving to the factory, they went to a dock first.
There was a beautiful big ship ready to go to sea. The hull was very long, maybe three or four stories, and the shape was extremely smooth. The whole body was snow-white, the bow deck was wide, and the stern had a helipad. Li Du and the others were shocked just by looking at the shape.
"We know that the rich people around the world are tired of driving their yachts to conventional waters such as the Caribbean Sea or the Mediterranean Sea. They have an adventurous heart and want to go to more extreme places to see.
"Now, we have prepared such a boat for them. This is the Sea X-90 luxury yacht, a super yacht that can explore all kinds of unknown waters..."
