844. Whale watching (3/5)

When Li Du saw this yacht, he believed Cole and Jacob's words: they were not exaggerated at all, this should be the most suitable yacht for ocean sightseeing in Sydney.

Or, it should be said to be a submarine.

The Abyss Dragon is a bit like a long and narrow kayak, and a bit like a pointed wooden boat on the lake in Li Du’s hometown. However, it only looks like it, and in fact, both sides are definitely not the same.

The ship is about ten meters long and about five meters wide. The front half is the cockpit and the rear half is the cabin. Its cabin area is very small and has two seats.

Yes, this boat can only accommodate two people, and they have no extra room for movement, and each has only one seat to stay.

These two seats are like convertible sports cars, which can raise bubble glass cabins, which means that people sit on the boat's seats, and then the seats can be covered with glass.

The driver told Li Du and Sophie: "This is a four-axis propulsion two-seater submersible yacht, each seat is equipped with an exclusive bubble glass cabin. Please believe that the glass cabin is very strong and they will not break after we dive."

Yes, the abyss dragon is its ability to dive, and its maximum dive depth can reach 490 meters.

But Li Du didn't have the courage to let it dive so deep. At a depth of 490 meters, if something happened to the yacht, they would be dead and lifeless, and there would be no possibility of survival.

The driver explained to them that because they only want to watch whales, he would dive into the water at most ten meters. This depth is a safe depth and the most appropriate depth to enjoy the ocean view. If the sunlight penetration is insufficient, there will be no sight.

The Abyss Dragon stopped on the pier, and it attracted the attention of many people.

Many people were holding their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures, while some people tried to get close to the yacht, and the driver quickly stopped them.

After Li Du and Sophie boarded the yacht, the driver operated the rudder and LCD display, and the yacht started slowly.

First of all, it did not dive. It first took Li Du and Sophie to swim on the sea. It would not dive until it found a whale, and then went to see the diving whales from the sea.

From May to November every year, it is the golden season for whale watching in Australia. Witnessing the terrifying power and beauty of the world's largest marine life has become another ultimate experience that many people go to Australia to pursue.

Australia is surrounded by the sea and can watch whales on all sides. Li Du and the others are in the southeastern waters. Here you can see blue whales that are rare in Australia. June is the last month they prey here, and they will not be able to see them in the future.

The yachts quickly started on the sea, and they followed a whale watching boat and drove along a fixed route to look for whales that surfaced.

In order to protect whales, the Australian government has restricted the waters where whale watchers can enter and also stipulated the distance to approach.

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

The government explained to the outside world that large ships have large targets and are prone to scare whales. Once they collide with whales, they are prone to kill whales. In order to protect whales, they cannot get close.

In fact, this is 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 get close to whales.

Private yachts are fine. Everyone knows the reason for this regulation. Australia is a capitalist country, and all resources are tilted towards wealthy people and capitalists.

After driving eastward in the sea for half an hour, a column of water spewed out of the water, like a fountain. At the same time, it was accompanied by a low and loud sound like a whistle.

Seeing this scene, tourists on the boat who were waiting to watch whales immediately cheered. They were very lucky that after going out to sea, they encountered a blue whale that came to the sea to breathe.

The driver turned around and said, "Please note that I am going to get close to the whale. Then I will dive and be mentally prepared."

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

The Abyss Dragon accelerated over the whale watching ship and then leaned towards the whale that appeared on the water.

Li Du looked into the distance, and the blue whale in the distance faintly showed its huge body.

The two sides were two or three hundred meters away at this time, and the distance was relatively far. He didn't see it very clearly and felt it was not shocking, just like a large floating object appeared on the sea ahead.

The driver continued to move forward, then approached from the side with great experience, and said, "I'm going to dive, be prepared!"

As soon as his voice fell, the thick glass cabin rose, and then the oxygen generator started working, and the oxygen entered the cabin "whimper".

Then, when the two of them adapted to the changes in the pressure in the cabin, the yacht gradually submerged into the water.

Then, Li Du saw a scene that shocked him.

After the yacht entered the water, he first saw a sickle-shaped fin limb, which was 3 to 4 meters long, with gray above and white below. In the swing, the water rolled.

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

Li Du didn't expect that their yacht would encounter a blue whale after a dive. And it was an adult blue whale. It was so big that he didn't know how to evaluate it. He could only use the simple word "big" to describe it!

The driver did not expect this to happen. They had seen it before. The yacht was still hundreds of meters away from the whale in front of him. This was a safe diving distance.

Obviously, this is another blue whale. Li Du didn’t know whether he should say whether he was lucky or not, so he actually encountered a group of small whale!

You should know that whales rarely form groups. Most of them are lonely and like to survive alone. Even small whales composed of two or three whales are rare.

Many tourists go out to sea to see whales, but they can’t see them. Now, they have met them.

But sadly, their yacht was diving and happened to encounter this floating blue whale.

The huge body of the blue whale floated up, bringing up a terrifying vertical flow of water. They were impacted by the rising sea water, and the yacht could not maintain balance and turned around in the sea water.

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

Their yacht is not small, more than ten meters tall, but next to this adult blue whale, it seems like a baby facing a strong man. The sense of difference is obviously despairing!

It’s not an exaggeration. When Li Du looked at the blue whale next to him, he felt that his yacht was just a newborn baby, while the blue whale was a strong man...
