Mexico Side Mount Cave Diving 墨酉哥洞潛旅程


In early May of 2018, a team of three Vincent Lou, Andy Xu andSean Xu visited the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico for eight daysof Overhead Side Mount training, under the supervision of ourPSAI Instructor Trainer Evaluator Mr. Gallup Lee.  They successfully completed all the required training and became qualified as PSAI Overhead Side Mount Divers. 

 

Testimonial fromVincent Lou:

The intensive and strict training began with the very basic equipment configuration and fundamental side mount drills review. We then conducted aseries of cave diving specific training and practiced including no visibility exit drills in the cave environments. Most importantly, teamcommunication, cooperation and formation underwater, protocols for line-laying and making jumps, navigation in somecomplicated cave systems with record-making, advanced trim and propulsion techniques in narrow passages.

During the eight days training, we conductedvarious kinds of dives in different types of caves. We made jumps andpenetration in caves, dived through narrow restrictions and changingenvironments include various space, visibility and depth. 

We further improved our awareness as a diver, team and environments and our skills and techniques to fine tune our trim positions and propulsion methods in order to adapt to different environments. Lastly, we expanded our abilities to navigate in cave systems.

This course notonly brought our diving skills and mentality to another level, but also opened up a new passage to us for themysterious underground world. The instructor, Mr. Gallup Lee, undoubtedly taught us all his knowledge the best possible way, but the most impressive demonstration is being a model of a decent technical diver with the qualities of humbleness,dedication and curiosity.  Many otherPSAI mentors also generously provided us with a lot guidance and support during the training, so we were able to face the challenges and achieve our goals with joys andtears in this amazingtrip.

 

2018年5月,在Gallup 教练的带领下,我和小伙伴们一起在墨西哥尤坎塔半岛进行了为期8天的侧挂全洞穴课程并顺利获得 PSAI 全洞穴潜水员的资质。我们从最基础的装备调整和侧挂技巧复习开始,进行了一系列严格严谨的洞穴潜水训练,包括封闭空间无能见度技巧,水下沟通配合及队形,布线,跳线规则,复杂洞穴路线导航及记录,狭窄空间的姿态控制及推进方法等等。
在八天的时间里,我们在不同类型的洞穴空间里执行了各种跳线,穿越,狭窄空间,频繁深度变化的潜水活动。进一步的提高了对潜水员,团队以及环境的警觉性,强化了在变动的环境中精准调整trim姿态以及前进方式的能力,更拓展了在非人工密闭环境下的导航及记录的技巧。


八天的训练令我们获益匪浅,不仅将我们的潜水技术和意识又提高了一个层次。更为我们打开了通向一个全新神秘空间的通道。Gallup教练不仅倾囊相授,更通过自身实践为我们树立了一个优秀技术潜水员应有的谦逊,好学,勤于思考的榜样。更有众多PSAI资深前辈在此次训练过程中无私的提供各种帮助支持,让我们在能含泪微笑着面对各种挑战并最终完成训练目标。

 

Testimonial from Lindsay Jiang:

On April 29, 2018, led by Gallup, a team of nine divers from Suzhou,Shanghai and Hong Kong gathered in Cancun to begin their dream to dive in the Yucatan for the next ten days.  We were divided into 2 groups: Gallup's instruction team and Eddie/Irene's fun dive group.  For the fun dive group, we dived in Cenote Minotaoro, Taj Mahal,Car wash, Clara Vera, Mayan blue and etc.  

As anewly certifiedfull cave diver, every day was full of happiness to me.  I reviewed the sidemount diving techniques,learned new skills from experienced divers, not tomention being in wonderfulcaves all day long.  Towards the end of thetrip, we were allreluctantto leave the dive site and definitely look forward our next adventure together soon.

 

2018 年 4 月 29 日,来自上海苏州以及香港的潜水员们,在 Gallup 带领下于坎昆集合开始了梦寐以求的十多天的潜水生活。潜水分为 Gallup带领的教学组和 Eddie/Irene 带领的 fun div e组。Fun dive 组分别于 Cenote Minotaoro, Taj Mahal, Car Wash, Clara Vera, Mayan Blue 等地进行洞穴潜水。作为新 full cave dive r每天都很充实快乐,重温了潜水技巧,向有经验的老学员学习了新技能,更不要说每天身处美妙的洞穴。最后大家离开时都依依不舍,憧憬着下一次的出发。
