Lu Ao pressed downward and dove beneath the water.
Visibility was excellent today, and the waters beneath the surface were relatively calm.
As they descended, strands of Giant Kelp floated through the sea around them, stretching out in connected swathes like an underwater forest.
Lu Ao carefully led them past the Giant Kelp, taking them deeper as he swam forward.
All the while, Lu Ao kept looking back to make sure no one had fallen behind.
Two of the five people from UG Company had brought underwater cameras and had been recording the situation the entire time.
Little Wei from the Fisheries Bureau had also switched on his underwater camera.
They were all rather curious as they watched fish swimming among the Giant Kelp.
While filming, they actively followed the fish their cameras caught.
Diving was a fairly slow process to begin with. Going a little slower would not hurt anything.
Lu Ao did not rush them. While they filmed, he took on the sampling work.
He had also collected samples during yesterday's dive, even gathering a relatively small piece of Giant Kelp specifically for UG Company.
