Every year at this moment, there are a group of youngsters gathering at the Omohugla highland. Before the flooding this highland had an elevation of 5,000 meters, but now it has changed to be a gulf. This group of youngsters have just finished two years of tough ground training. During their golden period at the age of 18, everyone has a glowing spirit and energized body which led the youngsters to dream of going to the deep sea to explore.
