Diving in Sanya: Discover the "Blue Secret" of West Island's Back Garden!

🐙I read about it in an old magazine. The sea water of West Island was described as crystal clear, and the underwater world was even more exciting than the movie "Finding Nemo." Since I came to the island, I've been eager to try it. Watching sea turtles swim leisurely underwater and clownfish playing hide-and-seek among the coral, the scene was so beautiful that I was immediately captivated. 🐡Diving process and preparation: Mental preparation and overcoming fear For first-time divers, mental preparation is especially important. Some people may be a little scared, like me, super afraid of deep water! 🦭The key is to take it slow. You can start by looking at pictures of fish, then videos, then go to an aquarium, step by step. The diving instructor will always be by your side. They are professionals and will ensure your safety. You can also reduce fear and improve your ability to cope with unexpected situations through mindfulness meditation and breathing exercises. 🐋Experienced islanders say they encounter all kinds of marine life. Sea turtles, their leisurely posture makes people slow down their breathing, for fear of disturbing them. Clownfish, like Nemo in "Finding Nemo," shuttle between sea anemones and corals, lively and cute. 🦑There are also seahorses hiding in the coral reefs. Only careful divers can spot their graceful figures. Sea urchins and starfish are also regular visitors here. Sea urchins hide under rocks, while starfish lie quietly on the seabed, displaying their unique beauty. 💰The diving projects on West Island are varied in price, suitable for tourists with different budgets. Experience diving is about 400-500 yuan, and deep diving projects are determined according to depth and time, usually 600-1,000 yuan.
