Diving is a distant thing for Miya, who grew up in Yunnan. Although I yearn for the bottom of the sea, I may not think about diving into the coral and fish storms.
Miya first saw the sea in Dameisha, Shenzhen, and this time, she didn't just step on the beach, here Miya experienced scuba diving. It was also this time that Miya knew that if you could have a diving license, you could see more than 70% of the entire planet, and you could touch the beauty of the earth that you did not think about.
Since then, Miya has gone to Palau to take the PADI Advanced Open Water Diving Certificate and upgraded her freediving level to PADI Elite Freediver for filming.
Underwater, Miya is wearing a black wetsuit, and the whole action is completed in one go, even at the bottom of the water, still completed.
A variety of high-difficulty actions such as high kicks and water flips directly convey the tense stimulation of underwater action movies to the audience, which is bound to be indispensable to a solid foundation of basic skills and rich free diving experience.
The perspective of scuba is more like a passer-by passing through the underwater world, and the exhaled bubbles are still a symbol of us as terrestrial creatures.
In order to enter the world of fish more quietly and explore the ocean in the most primitive way, Miya learned to dive mermaids.
From scuba to free diving to mermaids, step by step the distance with the ocean is getting closer and closer, and the love for the sea is getting deeper and deeper. Today, Miya is a PADI Mermaid Coach
"When I become a mermaid and swim slowly in the ocean, I will find out from the inside out, I have found my original self, which is the most important reason why I love the sport of mermaids so much."
While loving, Miya is in awe of the ocean at all times.
In addition to expressing and spreading beauty, mermaid diving is a sport that requires systematic and professional learning.
"Underwater, techniques such as breathing in mermaid lessons have been a great help to me in my daily life.
For example, when you encounter something very tense and anxious, it is like when you face the desire to breathe, or even when the diaphragm twitches, the more you want to solve it urgently, then the tense muscles in your body will consume more oxygen and energy than the relaxed muscles. This makes the situation worse. Like what you learned in the course, keep yourself relaxed, completely stabilize and sink down, and often many things will be solved.
Not only breathing skills, but also the principles of diving companions, communication and listening, sharing, etc. in the PADI Mermaid Course are not all life lessons worth pondering? ”
So mermaid diving is not only about mastering your body and having a lot of skills, but also about mental sports and the connection between the heart and the body.
This has some similarities with yoga, and Miya also introduces a few yoga tips that are beneficial for mermaid diving.
"The flexibility of the spine of people who practice yoga is very high, from the cervical spine to the thoracic spine to the lumbar spine, all the way to our tail vertebrae, like a flexible and smooth line, completely connected and seamless. So when we learn mermaid porpoise kicking, if our body is not relaxed enough, the knees will move when we kick, and then the whole posture will appear stiff. In yoga, the cat tiger style uses the pelvic floor muscles to spine as a warm-up or daily land training, and it will be more comfortable in the future to perform mermaid diving. ”
Whether it's yoga or mermaid diving, we need to create a connection between the mind and the body, yoga makes the connection more tight through the breath, and the mermaid diving is more subtle and wonderful, although we hold our breath underwater, but it does not prevent our body and brain from establishing this connection.
Because in our bodies, there is a lot of potential. Taking the PADI Mermaid Diving Course is one such process of unlocking your potential.
Many people think that I can hold in the water for thirty or forty seconds at most. In fact, after you train and learn the correct abdominal breathing, pranayama, turn on the diving reflex, and relax your body, you will hold your breath longer than you think.
Miya has also been asked why she is promoting mermaid diving.
Miya said that because of the mermaid diving, she has met many friends who love marine life and love the ocean. In fact, the ocean, mermaid diving is not far away from us, this sport is all around us, the pool, the local diving point can experience the fun of mermaid diving. Don't worry, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, use the mermaid's perspective to discover more unknowns, this blue world is always waiting for you, greeting you.
"We all have a fairy tale in our hearts, a mermaid dream, and a small world of our own, this dream, this place can be realized and reached through mermaid diving.
So I hope to be able to popularize this sport, link the love and kindness in the hearts of every mermaid diver, guard the true self of the heart, and guard the blue ocean! ”
