A somewhat biased view on China…
Thanks to Emilie, we had our first (for most of us) try at diving. And WaoW!!! What a dive!!!
We went diving in the main tank of the Blue Zoo at GongTi (工体), the Worker’s Stadium. Altogether, we were twelve people: 3 experienced Rescue Divers, 1 Open Water Level 1 Diver and the rest of us total neophytes! The central tank - holding 3.5 million liters of artificially produced salt water and thousands of fishes - is big enough to have 3 of us diving together with a few instructors.
Diving in an aquarium might seem artificial and boring compared to diving in open water. However, with all the fishes it was an amazing experience! There were murenes, leopard sharks, Napoleon Fishes, even a Tiger Shark!!! And a Little Mermaid!!!
