This is based on the premise that the diving equipment provided by Xiang Yang is advanced enough.
If they were to dive to such a deep sea with only an oxygen tank on their backs, I'm afraid some of the crew members would not just be pale now.
Those crew members who could not withstand the pressure of the seabed shook their heads after understanding Xiang Yang's gesture, indicating that they were fine. Obviously, they did not want to get on the ship like this.
Xiang Yang thought about it for a moment, and for safety reasons he gestured to Chen Qingsheng to lead that group of crew members to the east, and not to follow him downstream.
The sea water on the east side is much shallower than here. Xiang Yang and his team are currently in a relatively large landslide, which is indeed not something that ordinary people can dive into.
It is precisely because of this landslide that the giant kelp can thrive.
Giant kelp prefers cold water and cannot survive in waters with higher water temperatures. Usually they will stop growing as long as the water temperature exceeds 20 degrees.
In addition, giant kelp will not grow in the trenches.
Giant kelp needs photosynthesis, and their growth requires abundant sunlight.
The reason why this sea area can see such an astonishing rise is because of the existence of landslides, which causes the sea water to be deeper and lower in temperature, and the fact that it is located on a sunny slope.
Chen Qingsheng hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. Normally speaking, underwater operations might encounter various emergencies, so the crew usually stay together every time they go to sea.
But the water in this area is clear enough, so even if they are a little far away, they can still see each other, so it doesn’t matter if they are a little separated.
In fact, the waters in the seas where giant seaweed grows are clear, because the turbid seabed blocks the light and the giant seaweed cannot carry out photosynthesis. Only in clear sea water can the sun shine deep enough.
Soon, the sixteen crew members including Xiang Yang were divided into two groups. Chen Qingsheng and nine young sailors, a total of ten people, swam towards the slope. Xiang Yang took Chen Fusheng, He Mingde, Zhou Wang, and two young crew members with better lung capacity to continue diving.
The diving speed was very slow this time. Although these people did not show any abnormalities, Xiang Yang was still worried about what might happen.
"Huh?" Xiang Yang inside the helmet suddenly let out a light exclamation. He saw a very interesting scene.
On a branch of the giant seaweed, there was a small anemone the size of two thumbs quietly sitting there.
The appearance of the small anemone is similar to a small enoki mushroom. It stays on the branch of the giant seaweed like a small flower blooming on the giant seaweed. It cannot be seen without careful observation.
At this time, a starfish as big as a bowl fell from a branch above the giant seaweed, and fell right next to the small anemone.
The little anemone was immediately startled, and it jumped up from the branch of the giant seaweed. Its crown-like head swayed from side to side, and its body twisted and turned as it swam away.
But the sea anemone is really not suitable for swimming. It twisted and turned in the sea water, and actually kept circling around the starfish, and was never able to swim in a straight line.
Now the little anemone was very anxious, and its body was shaking and twisting like a spring, looking very cute.
"Puchi." Xiang Yang under the helmet was immediately amused by the little sea anemone. To be honest, this was not the first time Xiang Yang had seen a sea anemone, but it was the first time he had seen a swimming sea anemone. Although he knew that sea anemones were animals that could move, a truly moving sea anemone was very rare.
Xiang Yang thought it was interesting, so he swam towards the little sea anemone.
He Mingde and the others didn't know what Xiang Yang was going to do at first. When he swam closer and saw the sea anemone, they all burst out laughing.
This cute little anemone is so silly, it's simply a complete fool.
Chen Fusheng swam over, grabbed the anemone and was about to put it into the net bag around his waist.
Xiang Yang tried to stop him quickly. He didn't want to catch the anemone that made him laugh as a catch. Besides, such an anemone was not worth much money.
Chen Fusheng had no choice but to release the anemone again.
The released anemone immediately twisted its waist and swam away, and its movements were just like the moving mushrooms in a certain cartoon.
A group of grown men stared at the anemone as it swam away like a group of little children before continuing to dive.
After a lot of effort, they finally dived to the bottom of the sea and stepped on the soft sea sand.
As soon as we landed, everyone was immediately fascinated by the beautiful underwater scene before them.
The soft sea sand is covered with scallops, a vast expanse of white that stretches as far as the eye can see.
A group of tiger crabs bigger than the palm of a hand were lying leisurely on the beach, almost every one of them holding a scallop, enjoying the delicious food leisurely.
Under a reef seven or eight meters away, a Chinese lobster with a body length of more than 20 centimeters was lying quietly, with bright and dazzling colors on its body.
Looking further back, two starfish as big as dinner plates were beating up an octopus as big as a casserole. The octopus's eight tentacles tightly bound a large starfish and pressed it under its body.
Another big starfish lay on the octopus's bald head and refused to let go.
Xiang Yang walked over, bent down and picked up the octopus from the bottom of the sea.
After being picked up by Xiang Yang, these three guys who didn't know how to live or die had no intention of stopping and making peace, and they continued to fight to the death.
Xiang Yang smiled and threw all three guys into the net bag. The last time the Steller's sea eagle went out, it brought back a small gift for Xiang Yang. This time, Xiang Yang went to the sea and also brought back a small gift for the Steller's sea eagle.
At this time, Chen Fusheng pulled Zhou Wang and quietly surrounded the Chinese Jingxiu lobster from both sides.
Xiang Yang took a rough look over there and found that there was no gap or anything like that under the reef. With Chen Fusheng and Zhou Wang there, the Chinese Jingxiu lobster would definitely have nowhere to escape.
So Xiang Yang waved his hand and called the remaining three crew members to swim towards the tiger crabs that were leisurely enjoying the food.
The meat of the tiger crab is very full, and apart from the strong fishy smell, it has almost no disadvantages. These tiger crabs in front of us are almost all more than half a pound each. Such tiger crabs are still very valuable. If Xiang Yang can catch several dozen pounds, it will be worth it for him to bring people down for a swim.
"Huh?" Halfway through his walk, Xiang Yang suddenly stopped, his eyes attracted by a gray-black object.
It was a clam shell, not an ordinary clam shell.
It was bigger than any clam shell Xiang Yang had ever seen before. At first glance, it looked like a black stone the size of a small schoolbag. No wonder Xiang Yang didn't notice it at first glance.
