Dive with Big Sharks
Our shark dive adventures make use of hookah systems and shark cages. A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below. Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.
Is SharkDiving Dangerous?
Yes. You could get sunburnt. You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed. You could fall overboard. As for a shark attack, according to the International Shark Attack File, you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.

Bill Gates on how to fight future pandemics
WHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will probably take up only the first third or so.The bulk of the story will be what happens next.
I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated(接种疫苗）.Until then, life will not return to normal.
As the pandemic slows in developed nations,itwill accelerate in developing ones.Their experience,however,will be worse.In poorer countries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing measures won't work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems won't be able to care for the infected.
Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective medical solution for this virus,which means a vaccine.
My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If that's the case,it will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a new disease to immunizing（免疫）against it.
Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.
The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which they'll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.
All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预）early when the number of cases is still very low.
Our progress won't be in science alone.It will also be in our ability to make sure everyone benefits from that science.In the years after 2021,I think we'll learn from the years after 1945. With the end of the Second World War, leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19, leaders will prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.
These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.I expect they will participate in regular\"germ games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games.These will keep us ready for the next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.
I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations,especially by devoting more foreign aid to building up their primary health-care systems.This pandemic has shown us that viruses don't obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs,whether we like it or not.
The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britainhad just won its first land victory of the war,and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.But it is,perhaps,the end of the beginning.”
4. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic? ①manufacturing a vaccine fast ②diagnosing a virus at home ③developing antiviral drugs ④allowing us to intervene early A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
5. As far as poorer countries areconcerned,which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A. pandemic disease is more likely to begin in poorer countries B. Working from home can work well in poorer countries.
C. Health systems are sufficient to care for the infected in poorer countries. D. Virus will cross borders if poorer countries fail to contain it. 6. Why is the Second World War mentioned in Para.8?
A. The fight against the COVID-19 is similar to the Second World War. B. People are suffering just as they were in the Second World War.
C. We should cooperate globally just as we did after the Second World War. D. Countries are fighting each other like in the Second World War. 7. What is the tone of this passage? A. pessimistic B. optimistic C. neutral D. indifferent

It was once a shoreline buried by enough garbage to make it invisible (看不见的), thus, given the unfortunate nickname \"toilet bowl\" . Now the Philippines' Manila Bay beach is totally different, compared with a few months ago. It happened so suddenly and extremely that it brought tears to the eyes of the local people.
The cleanup started on 27 January, when 5, 000 volunteers descended on Manila Bay to remove over 45 tons (公吨) of garbage, marking the beginning of a nation-wide environmental campaign. But some two months before this great movement began, a quiet revolution was already underway.
During the first week of December 2018, Brooklyn- based Bounties Network collectedthree tons of garbage from Manila Bay aver two days through a project that paid a small group of people, mostly fishermen, with a digital currency (数字货币) based on the Ethereum system.
For the mostly non-bank -using Filipino fishermen, this was a first-ever experience with a digital currency. It's one that proves decisive in enabling poor communities around the world to take up arms in the fight against humanity's waste.
There are signs that this recycling-for-digital payment industry may be just about to take off. Earlier in September 2018, Plastic Bank, a Vancouver -based company powered by IBM technology, also started a similar project. They set up a project in Naga, a town in southern Luzon, the country's largest island, building a collection point to let people exchange plastic and recyclable materials for digital payouts through a system.
That both these pioneers have chosen the Philippines as their first location is not surprising considering the country's contribution to ocean waste. A Wall Street Journal study in 2015 revealed that the Philippines make the third-largest amount of plastic waste into global oceans. 12. Why did people call Manila Bay beach“toilet bowl” ?
A. It looked like a huge bowl. B. There were plenty of toilets. C. It was covered by rubbish. D. People loved the toilets here. 13. What does the underlined phrase“descended on”in paragraph 2 mean? A. Completely depended on. B. Suddenly arrived at. C. Occasionally decreased to. D. Gradually disappeared from. 14. What made poor communities willing to fight against waste?
A. The benefits to their homeland. B. The desire to make a difference.
C. The chance to escape ocean pollution. D. The experience with a digital currency. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Online system helps endocean pollution. B. Manila Bay beach is suddenly removed. C. Plastic Bank is powerful in recycling waste. D. Philippines make a great amount of waste.
