In this episode, we will follow our host Charlene to go on an “in-depth” local tour. Depth? How deep? As deep as the sea!
Scuba-diving is getting more and more popular in Hong Kong these days. As summer is around, Charlene gets in the boat of John, a scuba-diving instructor, to set off for the Sai Kung seas. There, Charlene combines scuba-diving with underwater photography. It turns out that underwater photography is a highly challenging pastime that requires patience, experience, technique, and a lot of know-how. Although it takes quite some time to master, underwater photography can take you from the hustle bustle of city life far, far away to relax in the bosom of nature. It can even cleanse your mind. It is really an interesting pastime.
From the serene underwater world, we come back to the turbulent sea surface. Guided by Mr Lau Lee-lam, Charlene and her party steer through one sea cave after another. The sea cave, a natural wonder though, is a risky place to visit because of the pointed speleothems and the dark, narrow passages between rocky surfaces, not to mention the turbulent waves below; all these features contribute to the exciting and challenging nature of the visit. It is a test on not only personal stamina and courage, but also the spirit of mutual help and cooperation within a team. The two sea activities give Charlene some food for thought.
