点评:We brought out newly-certified 11 year old to Mexico for her fall break to enjoy her first real dive. (open water certification was in a lake with 1 foot visibility and she was head-butted by catfish). What we forgot was how different the Sean might be. She was very anxious but we thought we’d worked through it until it was time get in the water. Juan, our dive master was very patient. He ultimately pulled the plug on her dive and she spent the first day on the boat. The crew was great.
We got back to the shop and Crescent gave her homework …. Do skills in the sea at our resort. So, we did. While her certification was only 8 weeks ago, she’s forgotten how easy those were for her and had allowed her fear to build up.
Day 2 comes and we gave her choice - dive or ride in the boat. Either choice was absolutely fine. She chose to dive and while the first few minutes were touch and go, once she started descending, everything was great. Juan was her buddy, and kept her next to him for 3/4 of that dive and then let her swim close in her own. We got out of the water and the first thing she said was, “I’m hooked!”.
Dive 2 was a breeze and great wildlife on both dives. Turtles, rays, eels and more!
We can’t say enough about Crescent, Juan, Mark, the crew and everyone at the shop. You have customers for life! See you next year. THANK YOU!!
翻译:我们带新获得认证的 11 岁女孩到墨西哥度过她的秋季假期,享受她的第一次真正的潜水。 (开放水域认证是在一个能见度为 1 英尺的湖中,她被鲶鱼撞到了头)。我们忘记的是肖恩可能有多么不同。她非常焦虑,但我们认为我们已经解决了这个问题,直到该下水了。胡安,我们的潜水教练非常有耐心。他最终停止了她的潜水,她在船上度过了第一天。工作人员很棒。
我们回到商店,新月给她布置了家庭作业……在我们的度假村练习海上技巧。所以,我们做到了。虽然她在 8 周前才获得认证,但她已经忘记了这些对她来说是多么容易,并且让她的恐惧越来越大。
第 2 天来了,我们给了她选择 - 潜水或乘船。任何一个选择都绝对没问题。她选择了潜水,虽然最初的几分钟很顺利,但一旦她开始下降,一切都很好。 Juan 是她的伙伴,在那次潜水的 3/4 时间里,她一直陪在他身边,然后让她自己游近。我们从水里出来,她说的第一句话是,“我上钩了!”。
两次潜水都轻而易举地进行了第 2 次潜水,并且发现了很棒的野生动物。海龟、鳐鱼、鳗鱼等等!
关于 Crescent、Juan、Mark、工作人员和店里的每个人,我们怎么说都不为过。你有终生的客户!明年再见。谢谢你!!
