If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all the way in to the shore.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.
Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.
If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.

Dịch bài đọc:
Nếu bạn thích thể thao dưới nước, Hawaii là nơi dành cho bạn. Bạn có thể bơi quanh năm trong nước ấm. Bạn có thể đi câu cá thể thao từ bờ hoặc từ thuyền. Nếu bạn thích thuyền, bạn có thể đi thuyền buồm, chèo xuồng hoặc lướt ván. Hoặc, bạn cũng có thể thử một số môn thể thao nước khác đặc biệt phổ biến ở Hawaii: lướt sóng, lặn biển với ống thở và lặn biển với bình dưỡng khí.
Lướt sóng là môn thể thao bắt đầu ở Hawaii cách đây nhiều năm. Người Hawai gọi nó là "he'e nalu", có nghĩa là "trượt trên sóng". Nếu bạn muốn thử lướt, trước hết, bạn cần là một người bơi tốt. Bạn cũng phải có cảm giác cân bằng tốt. Bạn phải bơi ra khỏi bãi biển với ván trượt của bạn dưới cánh tay của bạn. Khi bạn đến nơi sóng bắt đầu phá vỡ, bạn chờ đợi một thời điểm bình tĩnh. Sau đó, bạn cố gắng đứng lên trên ván. Sóng sẽ bắt đầu cao lên dưới chân bạn. Bạn phải cố gắng điều khiển ván bằng đôi chân của mình để bạn ở trên đỉnh của làn sóng. Điều quan trọng là giữ thăng bằng và không bị ngã. Nếu bạn có thể làm được, bạn sẽ có một chuyến đi thú vị các cách vào bờ.
Lặn với bình dưỡng khí và lặn dùng ống thở là hai cách để có được một cái nhìn gần gũi với vẻ đẹp nằm dưới bề mặt của đại dương. Các vùng biển ngoài quần đảo Hawaii đều rất xanh trong và ấm áp. Chúng chứa hàng trăm loại cá đầy màu sắc. Thế giới dưới đáy biển thậm chí còn nhiều màu sắc hơn bởi những rạn san hô đỏ, vàng, trắng và tím nhạt. Trong số các rạn san hô này có thể có những con cá lớn hơn hoặc rùa biển.
Lặn với bình dưỡng khí cho phép bạn ngắm nhìn những điểm tham quan dưới biển thú vị nhất. "Scuba" có nghĩa là "Thiết bị thở nước dưới nước độc lập", tức là các thiết bị để thở và bơi xung quanh dưới nước. Tại Hawaii, bạn có thể học các khóa học đặc biệt để học cách lặn. Sau khóa học, bạn có thể có được một chứng chỉ cho phép bạn lặn một mình. Vì nó có thể nguy hiểm nên bạn phải luôn luôn cần đến sự hướng dẫn phù hợp và chăm sóc kỹ càng khi bạn lặn biển.
Nếu bạn thích mạo hiểm, bạn có thể thử lặn bằng ống thở thay vì lặn bằng bình khí. Cần ít thiết bị hơn, chỉ cần một mặt nạ, một ống thở (lặn) và chân vịt cho chân của bạn. Chỉ mất vài phút để học cách lặn. Mặc dù bạn không thể đi sâu vào nước, bạn có thể bơi và để mặt dưới mặt nước. Thở qua ống, bạn trôi nổi trên bề mặt, và giữ cho mình di chuyển với cánh tay của bạn. Ngay cả từ bề mặt như thế này, sẽ có rất nhiều màu sắc và cảnh đẹp để xem.

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide. They use their whole vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless - In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso - like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.
