Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back.. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

【推荐3】Skateboarding can be traced back to the 1950s in America, where West Coast surfers started attaching wheels to wooden boards in order to “surf” on land. It became popular in the 1960s, with stars from Clint Eastwood to Katharine Hepburn pictured trying their hand at the sport. In 1965, ABC televised the National Skateboard Championships, which saw international skaters battled it out for a prize of $500.
In Japan, the All Japan Skateboard Association, founded in 1982, helped to gradually introduce the activity through surfing centers. Skater Taiichiro Nakamura, better known as “Chopper”, got his start in skateboarding in the late 1980s at the age of 15. When he was young, Chopper’s father always encouraged him to pursue an unconventional career, so Chopper practiced skating hard, eventually turning his hobby into a profession.
With his slight build, Chopper never thought he’d reach the same level as international skaters. So with many of his American counterparts(对手)pursuing bigger “air” and increasingly ambitious aerial(空中的) tricks, Chopper stuck close to the ground and pursued original street skating instead. He involved himself in his tricks with a sense of fun, inventing moves like the “potato roll”.
“Chopper made people realize that skateboarding isn’t just about copying other people’s styles,” says Hayate Kamimura, who skates with the Osaka Daggers and works as an instructor at a nearby skate park. “It’s about how you bring out your own creativity and invent a style that nobody else has.”
In the past, Chopper didn’t have many people to skate with. Now the sport has come to mainstream acceptance in Japan thanks to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, in which skating was included. However, there still aren’t enough skate parks where people can skate without disturbing others. If you skate on the street, you have to share that space with people walking by, who will get the impression that skateboarding is noisy, dangerous or scary.
