Items you want to equip

Hello.

A free diver from Okinawa.Like thisis.

This time, I would like to talk about my thoughts on skin diving.Items you should have to enjoy safelyI would like to talk about🙋‍♂️

Of course, it is very important to prevent accidents and troubles at sea. In the case of skin diving and free diving, this includes choosing a spot that suits the weather and skill level, and judging the local sea conditions. I also think that improving your own skill level and knowledge is also important.

However, what I want to talk about today is how to prepare for when an accident or trouble does occur. I think this is just as important as preventing accidents and trouble.

First of all, this is it.float.

The main reason why floats are needed isTo rescue drowning victimsThat's what I think.

Actually, I have a history of almost drowning. I was drowning and could no longer swim properly, so four (or maybe five) of the people I was playing with carried me to the shore. We were several hundred meters away from the shore, and the wind and waves were getting stronger.It must have been really hard to carry him. If only one or two people had helped me at that time, I might not have survived. In fact, I think even the life of the person who helped me might have been in danger.

Swimming while carrying a person is extremely difficult. It requires a lot of physical strength.

Unless there are enough people to carry the drowning person away,It is impossible to save a drowning person and yourself without a float.It's better to think like that.If you keep a float that you can carry on your person, I think the chances of both parties surviving in the event of an emergency will increase dramatically.

In addition, it can be used to store sandals, drinks, food, other equipment, a landmark on the water, or a place to rest.Floats have many functions, so they are an item you definitely want to have. In fact, they are essential.

Other items that are perfect for collection include:

These include signal floats, lights, whistles, reflectors such as mirrors, waterproof smartphone cases, and more.

All of these items are designed to make it easier to find if your item gets washed away.🙌

Honestly, a smartphone would be a substitute for everything, but considering the possibility of battery issues, I think having these accessories would give me more peace of mind.👌

The items I introduced this time may not seem enough to others, but they are all things I felt were necessary from my own experiences. I don't take everything with me every time, but I try to take everything with me when I go to a new place for the first time. I plan to update my equipment if I find something I need in the future.💪

I hope this article will help you think about not only what you should wear, but also what equipment you should have to be safer!😌
