我们的第一个大神来自新西兰,却在中国呆了8年。小编和大神的相识在苏比克的一艘豪华游艇上,几乎是苏比克最好的技术潜水船之一。有所有你想得到的装备(CCR, DPV, 双瓶,氦气)应有尽有。了解到他是IANTD和PSAI的双教练的时候不禁觉得自己是井底之蛙,这样的世外高人,我们竟然完全不知?还好,有幸邀请到Aaron给我们讲讲他的潜水经。

1.潜水经历介绍

答:我很幸运我的IANTD教练是举世闻名的。Paul Neilsen是我的第一个IANTD教练并且还和我做了很长时间的buddy。另外,世上第一个下潜到1000ft(308m)的人John Bennett是我的技术教练。我还和IANTD的持牌人Alex Santos一起训练

我的PSAI教练是Simon So和Mark Cox。我也有幸能和PSAI的创始人Hal Watts和总监Gary Taylor(前IANTD)一起潜水。

2.潜水进阶技巧分享

答:技术潜水最重要的就是时机还有如何在恶劣环境下保持舒适。必须先磨炼好你的技术再去深潜是自然而然的。

深潜(60-110m)最关键的就是减压和停留时间。这就要求我们有超强的自律、耐心、自信、应对事故的能力和所有的技术技巧和对环境的警觉性。 你不仅需要在水下日复一日的训练也需要在教室里好好把你能接触到的减压相关的知识都学好(理论,病状,原理,算法等等)。

教室里的技巧和潜水经验不能相互替代。这两个行为必须连起来。

 

3.潜水上最重要的成就和最开心的时刻

答:出于对于技术潜水和深潜、三混气潜水的兴趣,1997年在菲律宾我和John Bennett一起破了开放水域无绳缆的深潜记录(122m)。我们对减压理论做了很多研究,并且用我们的减压表和理论进行了训练。那时候还没有潜水电脑。John Benett继续成了第一个突破1000ft深度的人。我继续为他做了支持潜水员,并且拓宽了我的潜水方向,做洞穴潜水、做循环呼吸潜水。

 

 

4.潜水上碰到的困难和问题

答:我们做技术潜水,所有事情所蕴含的风险都是经过计算的。我们保证每件事情都是计划到了最细节的地方并且考虑我们会发生很多意外。我爱潜水,并且愿意每天潜水,所以所有事情都必须被确保能让我每天安全的潜水。不要害怕终止一次潜水。一个团队里的任何人可以在任何时候要求终止潜水,因为我们总可以下次再来。

 

 

5.如何选择潜伴

答:我用经验来挑选潜伴。我选择在我此次潜水目的下和我水平相当的人一起潜水。无论ta的潜水证书到了什么程度,也不关心ta潜的瓶数,我倾向于和之前和我一起潜过水的人一起潜水。

 

6. 中国潜水员和其他国家潜水员的差别

答:潜水在中国是一个新兴行业。我看到安全的重要性没有被充分的认识到。在如此短暂的时间里中国潜水员身上接二连三发生的事故充分反映了中国潜水员的潜水训练和救生演习的不足。这很大程度上是由于国内教练课程价格竞争导致的缺斤短两。我强烈建议避免便宜的、打折的课程。

另外,装备不能代替训练和经验。不能仅仅因为你有一个好的品牌的装备,就觉得自己是一个好的潜水员,可以进行某些你并不具备能力的潜水。技术潜水要求对于每个潜水技巧形成肌肉记忆,对每个潜水技巧要反复练习直到他变成你的应激反应。

我在中国住了8年,90%的学生都是中国人,我很爱中国。但是在过去7年在中国的教学过程中,我不得不注意到中国潜水员更看重他们的个人状态和证书,而不是在成为一个足够水平的潜水员以后再进行下一个级别的训练。我从来没有让学生不通过课程,但是我在发证前让他们不断回来练习、延长他们的训练。如果我在水下需要帮助或者碰到紧急状况,我希望我周围的潜水员都有足够的能力和经验。

附上原版英文访谈稿:

1. Could you please introduce your diving experience? What encouraged you to do tech dive?

I was extremely fortunate as My IANTD instructors were and still are some of the most renowned around the world. Paul Neilsen was my first IANTD Instructor and then my long term dive buddy and the first man to dive to 1000ft (308m) John Bennett was my technical Instructor. I also did training with IANTD franchise ownerAlex Santos.

PSAIInstructors have been Simon So and Mark Cox while also having the opportunity to dive with founder Hal Watts and director Gary Taylor (ex-IANTD).

 

2. What do you think is the best way to improve diving technique? What’s the divingtechnique that you think is the most important?

Technical diving is all about timing and being comfortable is an in hospitable environment….To better enhance your technical abilities then deep diving is asure method.

 

Deep air diving (60-110m) is all about decompression and runtimes. It requires discipline, patience, self reliance, contingencies, all technical skills and environmental awareness. Not only do you need to be in the water day after day but you also need to be in the classroom and to read everything you can about decompression(theroies, illnesses, methods, algorithms) etc.

 

Classroom and experience do not substitute each other…try must be done in conjunction.

 

3. What’s the biggest achievement in your diving experience? What’s your happiest experience?

With an interest in Technical diving and specializing in Deep air and mixed gas(Trimix) diving, together with John Bennett set the open water untethered deep dive record on open circuit to 122 meters in the Philippines in 1997  we used our decompression tables and the or ies we had developed  through research and training. Computers were not available in those times. John Benett continued to become the first man ever on Open circuit to dive deeper than 1000ft. I continued to support and undertake further diving specialty areas such as cave and Rebreather diving.

 

4. Have you ever encounter any difficulty or major setback?

Everything we do at this level is a calculated risk so we ensure everything is planned to the finest detail and we have many contingencies. I love diving and want to dive every day so everything needs to be planned to ensure that I can dive everyday. Don’t be afraid to call a dive. Anyone in the team can call the dive at anytime and we try again another day.

 

5. How do you choose buddy? How is your buddy?

I choose my buddy by experience with that person and their level of ability depending on our objective. Regardless of someone’s certification level or there number of dives I still choose to buddy with those I dived with before.

 

6. What’s the biggest difference between Chinese diver and other divers?

Diving isa very new industry to China and I think the concept of safety has not yet been realised. Unfortunately the amount of Chinese fatalities and serious incidents in such a short period reflects poor training and safety drills not reinforced due to cheaper courses from cut throat competition. Cheaper courses or discounted training is exactly what students should be avoiding.

 

Also the fact that equipment does not replace experience or training. Just because you have good brand name equipment does not mean you are a good diver or capable of carrying out particular types of diving. Technical Diving requires muscle memory so on every single dive all technical skills short be practiced again and again until it becomes a reaction without having to think. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve lived in China 8 years and love the people. 90% of my students are Chinese but I’ve noticed over the past 7 years teaching Chinese that their personal status or certificate level is more important to them than becoming a proficient diver at one level before moving on. I’ve never failed a student but I’ve made plenty come back or extend their training before certification. …if I need assistance in the water or an emergency situation I want to make sure those around me are capable and experienced.
