Chapter 845 844. Diving Into the Sea to Watch Whales (3/5)

Chapter 845

When Li Du saw the yacht, he believed the words of Cole and Jacob: They were not exaggerating, this should be the most suitable yacht in Sydney for ocean sightseeing.

Or, should I say, a submarine.

The Abyss Dragon is a bit like a long and narrow kayak, and it's also a bit like a pointed wooden boat on the lake in Li Du's hometown.

The boat is about ten meters long and five meters wide. The front half is the cockpit, and the back half is the cabin. Its cabin is very small and has two seats.

Yes, this boat can only accommodate two people, and there is no extra room for them to move around, and there is only one seat for each of them.

These two seats are like a convertible sports car, and the bubble glass cabin can be raised, which means that people sit on the seat of the boat, and then the seat can be covered by glass.

The driver told Li Du and Sophie: "This is a four-axis propulsion two-seater diving yacht, and each seat is equipped with its own bubble glass cabin. Please believe that the glass cabins are very strong. After we dive, they will not crumble."

Yes, the great thing about Abyssal Dragon is that it can dive, and its maximum dive depth can reach 490 meters.

But Li Du didn't have the guts to let him dive so deep. At a depth of 490 meters, if something happened to the yacht, they would be dead, and there was no possibility of them surviving.

The driver explained to them that because they only wanted to watch whales, he would dive into the water at most ten meters. This depth is a safe depth and the most suitable depth for enjoying the ocean scenery. Nothing more.

The abyss dragon was parked on the pier, and it attracted the attention of many people.

Many people were taking pictures with their mobile phones and cameras. Some people tried to get close to the yacht, but the driver quickly stopped it.

After Li Du and Sophie boarded the yacht, the pilot operated the rudder and the LCD screen, and the yacht started slowly.

First of all, it doesn't dive. It takes Li Du and Sophie to swim on the surface of the sea. It will not dive until it finds a whale, and then goes to watch the diving whale from the sea.

Every year from May to November is the golden season for whale watching in Australia. Witnessing the terrifying power and beauty of the largest marine creature in the world has become another extreme experience that many people go to Australia to pursue.

Australia is surrounded by the sea, and you can watch whales on all sides. Li Du and the others are in the southeast waters, where you can see blue whales, which are rare in Australia. June is the last month for them to hunt here, and they will not be able to see them in the future arrive.

The yacht moved quickly on the sea, and they followed a whale watching boat and sailed along a fixed route to look for whales that surfaced.

In order to protect whales, the Australian government restricts the sea areas that whale watching boats can enter, and also stipulates the approach distance.

However, this is only a restriction on large ships. Yachts like Abyss Dragon are not restricted and can be seen at close range, of course, the premise is to ensure safety.

The government explained to the outside world that large ships have big targets and are likely to scare the whales. Once they collide with the whales, they are likely to kill the whales. In order to protect the whales, they cannot approach them.

That's not the case at all, some whale watching boats are small yachts, these boats are not as big as some private yachts, but they are still not allowed to approach the whales.

But private yachts are fine. Everyone knows the reason for this regulation. Australia is a capitalist country, and all resources are tilted towards the rich and capitalists.

After driving eastward in the sea for half an hour, a jet of water spurted out of the water like a fountain. At the same time, it was accompanied by a deep and loud sound like a siren.

Seeing this scene, the tourists on the boat who were waiting to watch the whale suddenly cheered. They were lucky to encounter a blue whale coming to the sea to take a breath after going out to sea.

The driver turned around and said, "Attention, both of you, I'm going to get close to the whale, and then I'll dive, so I'm mentally prepared."

Li Du stretched out his thumb and said, "OK."

The Abyss Dragon accelerated past the whale watching boat, and then approached the whale that appeared on the water.

Li Du looked far away, and the blue whale in the distance showed its huge body indistinctly.

The two sides were separated by two to three hundred meters at this time, and the distance was relatively far. He couldn't see it very clearly, and he didn't feel very shocked, as if there was a large floating object on the sea ahead.

The driver continued to move forward, and then approached from the side with great experience, saying: "I'm going to dive, get ready!"

As soon as his voice fell, the thick glass cabin rose up, and then the oxygen concentrator started to work, and the oxygen 'wowed' into the cabin.

Then, after the two had adapted to the change in cabin pressure, the yacht gradually submerged in the water.

Then, Li Du saw a scene that shocked him.

After the yacht entered the water, he first saw a sickle-shaped flipper, which was 3 to 4 meters long, with a gray upper part and white lower part.

Next to the flippers is a huge body, in front is a wide, round and huge head, and looking back is a huge tail fin. In short, there is a huge ocean monster beside them!

Li Du didn't expect their yacht to encounter a blue whale as soon as they dived, and it was an adult blue whale. It was so big that he didn't know how to evaluate it, so he could only use the simple word 'huge'. to describe!

The pilot didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. They had seen it before, and the yacht was hundreds of meters away from the whale in front. This is a safe diving distance.

Obviously, this was another blue whale. Li Du didn't know whether to say he was lucky or unlucky, but he actually ran into a group of small whales!

It is important to know that whales generally seldom form groups. Most of them are lonely and like to live alone, even small groups of two or three whales are rare.

Many tourists want to see whales when they go out to sea, but they can't see them anyway. Now, they have encountered them.

But sadly, their yacht was diving and happened to encounter this blue whale that was only rising.

The huge body of the blue whale floated up, bringing up a powerful vertical current. They were hit by the rising sea water, and the yacht couldn't maintain its balance, so it turned in the sea water.

The driver quickly pulled the rudder, and the yacht made a sharp turn, but unfortunately still hit the blue whale.

Their yacht is not small, more than ten meters long, but beside this adult blue whale, it is like a baby facing a strong man. The sense of gap is obviously desperate!

Not an exaggeration, Li Du looked at the blue whale next to him, and felt that the yacht he was on was just a newborn baby, while the blue whale was a strong man...

Although in terms of length, the difference between the two sides is not that big, but the yacht is long, narrow and flat, while the blue whale is long, wide and round. From a three-dimensional perspective, there is a huge difference in size!
