يَاسْمِينَةُ تَحْتَ الْبَحْرِ

يَاسْمِينَة بَاشَا غَوَّاصَةٌ سُعُودِيَّةٌ مِنْ جُدَّةَ. كَانَتْ يَاسْمِينَةُ مُحَاسِبَةً. وَالْيَوْمَ هِيَ مُدَرِّبَةُ غَوْصٍ، وَعِنْدَهَا رُخْصَتَانِ دُوَلِيَّتَانِ. كَانَ أَبُوهَا، رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ، بَحَّارًا. وَعَاشَتْ عَائِلَتُهَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْبَحْرِ دَائِمًا. قَبْلَ ثَمَانِي سَنَوَاتٍ جَرَّبَتْ يَاسْمِينَةُ الْغَوْصَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ. وَأَحَبَّتْهُ كَثِيرًا مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ. كَانَ وَالِدَاهَا ضِدَّ الْغَوْصِ. فِي رَأْيِهِمَا هُوَ هِوَايَةٌ خَطِيرَةٌ. قَبْلَ ثَلَاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ بَدَأَتْ يَاسْمِينَةُ تُدَرِّبُ النِّسَاءَ. تُدَرِّبُ نِسَاءً عَرَبِيَّاتٍ وَآسْيَوِيَّاتٍ وَأُورُوبِّيَّاتٍ. أَعْمَارُهُنَّ مِنْ عَشْرِ سَنَوَاتٍ إِلَى تِسْعٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً. وَتَقُولُ يَاسْمِينَةُ: الْيَوْمَ تُمَارِسُ النِّسَاءُ كُلَّ الرِّيَاضَاتِ بِحُرِّيَّةٍ. وَعَدَدُ الْغَوَّاصِينَ وَالْغَوَّاصَاتِ فِي السُّعُودِيَّةِ زَادَ كَثِيرًا. مُدَّةُ دَوْرَةِ الْغَوْصِ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ، حَسَبَ الْمُدَرِّبِ. وَسِعْرُهَا مِنْ سِتِّمِئَةِ رِيَالٍ إِلَى أَلْفَيْ رِيَالٍ. فِي الْبَحْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ قُرْبَ جُدَّةَ شِعَابٌ مُرْجَانِيَّةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ جِدًّا. وَتُفَضِّلُ يَاسْمِينَةُ الْغَوْصَ مِنَ الْقَارِبِ فِي الْأَمَاكِنِ الْبَعِيدَةِ وَالْهَادِئَةِ. الْبَحْرُ خَطِيرٌ أَحْيَانًا، وَيَاسْمِينَةُ تُحِبُّ الْمُغَامَرَةَ، لَكِنَّهَا تَهْتَمُّ بِالْأَمَانِ. وَهِيَ تَقْتَرِبُ مِنَ الْأَسْمَاكِ الْخَطِيرَةِ، وَلَا تُزْعِجُهَا. وَتَقُولُ: كُلُّ يَوْمٍ فِي السَّنَةِ يَوْمٌ جَيِّدٌ لِلْغَوْصِ. تُرِيدُ يَاسْمِينَةُ أَنْ تَغُوصَ مِئَةَ مِتْرٍ تَحْتَ الْمَاءِ. وَتُرِيدُ أَنْ تُدَرِّبَ مُدَرِّبِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ الْعَالَمِ. وَتُرِيدُ أَيْضًا مَرْكَزَ غَوْصٍ خَاصًّا بِهَا.

Yasminah Basha is a Saudi diver from Jeddah. Yasminah was an accountant. And today she is a diving trainer, and she has two international licences. Her father, may God have mercy on him, was a sailor. And her family always lived close to the sea. Eight years ago Yasminah tried diving for the first time. And she has loved it very much since that day. Her parents were against diving. In their opinion it is a dangerous hobby. Three years ago Yasminah started training women. She trains Arab, Asian and European women. Their ages are from ten years to fifty-nine years. And Yasminah says: today women do all sports freely. And the number of men and women divers in Saudi Arabia has grown a lot. A diving course lasts from three to seven days, depending on the trainer. And its price is from six hundred riyals to two thousand riyals. In the Red Sea near Jeddah there are very beautiful coral reefs. Yasminah prefers diving from a boat in faraway, quiet places. The sea is sometimes dangerous, and
