- 在沖繩美麗的大海，浮潛比潛水更能隨時輕鬆的享受樂趣，不必去深海，只要在淺水區域就能看見各種五彩繽紛的魚兒是沖繩大海的特徵。所以作爲潛水前的練習，可以去接觸一下大海 Compared to scuba diving, even the inexperienced can safely enjoy the beautiful waters of Okinawa by snorkeling. The ocean in Okinawa is clear enough to offer a view of colorful fish in shallow water, saving you from having to go further offshore. Snorkeling is also an easy way to get into scuba diving.
浮潛的基本 Basic of Snorkeling
必要的器具 Must Items
- 潛水面具 (水中眼鏡) Mask、潛水呼吸管 Snorkel (呼吸空氣的吸管 A tube for breathing)、蛙鞋 Fins
可用的器具 Useful Items
- 潛水衣 Wet Suit 或者救生衣 or Life Jacket、潛水手套 Gloves、潛水靴 Boots
潛水呼吸管的使用方法 How to Hold a Snorkel in your mouth
- 嘴呈 ”WU” 的發音口型緊緊咬住潛水呼吸管，如有縫隙的話，海水就會進入口中 When you on put a snorkel, make a “o” shape with your mouth tightly to avoid letting in water. 入水前，先在陸地上練習呼吸，慢慢地吸氣，用力吐氣 Before entering the water, you should practice how to breathe on the land. Inhale slowly and exhale vigorously.
- 如果呼吸管中進入了海水，請用力吐氣把海水呼出 In case the seawater comes into the snorkel, exhale strongly to purge the water.
游泳時的視線 Eye Line When You Swim
- 臉貼向水面，游泳時的視線大約定位在斜前方 Put your face just above the sea level and keep your eyes diagonally forward. 視線向下收得太低，潛水呼吸管會低於水面，海水會進入管道內 Keep your snorkel upright, so water won’t get in.
擺腿踢水的方式 How to Fin Kick
- 浮潛中，伸直腿然後上下大幅度擺動大腿，像踩自行車一樣踢水，不易前行 Straighten your knees and move your foot up and down. Do not kick like pedaling a bicycle as it will weaken your kick and make it hard to move forward.
- 首先，請在穿著泳衣之後穿上潛水衣或救生衣 First, make sure to wear a life jacket or wetsuit over a swimsuit.
- 為了防止沖繩強烈的日照以及珊瑚礁、水母等，即使夏天也最好穿著薄外套保護自己 Wearing light clothing is preferable even in midsummer to protect your skin from strong sunshine, corals, and jellyfish.
- 在潛水面具的左側插上潛水呼吸管，潛水面具的鏡面請進行防霧處理後戴上 Place a snorkel on the left side of the mask, put anti-fog treatments on the lenses, and put on the mask.
- 確認是否套住整個鼻子，有沒有把頭髮卡在面具裡和扭曲繃帶 Make sure that your nose is completely inside the mask, avoiding getting strands of hair caught in the mask seal, and make sure the straps are not twisted.
- 戴上潛水面具穿上蛙鞋後，側行或後退走向大海 After putting on fins, walk sideways into the water.
- 海水大約至腰深度時，佩戴上潛水呼吸管，潛入水中 Once you get to waist-deep level, insert your snorkel and put your face just above the sea level.
- 浮潛後，返回時和入水一樣，大約游至海水齊腰時，向上仰，腳跟著地站起，然後側行走向海灘 When returning the beach, keep swimming until you get to waist deep level. Stand on your heels, turn sideways and walk toward the beach.
