Great teacher, great guide
Finatix Scuba Diving的点评
点评：Here’s my short (and long) of my recent experience with Finatix Scuba Diving and Tammy Goodbar.
The short version;
Tammy and Finatix are my “go-to” for dive instructions and dive guides in the West Palm Beach area. Professional, accommodating, attentive and very, very safe. She just did a refresher for me after 4 years without diving. She was gentle but firm in confirming my skills in gear prep, dive planning, buddy procedures, hand signals and both beach and boat procedures. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for scuba dive training or dive guides.
The Long Version;
I first met Tammy when I was doing a underwater macro photography workshop at the Blue Heron bridge in Riviera Beach, Florida back in August 2016. Tammy was one of the guides and I was lucky enough to be in her group. I was impressed with her professionalism and her eye I spotting the little critters we were there to photograph. Over the three days of the workshop I got to see that my first impression was not a fluke. Day after day Tammy was a pro wrangling the photographers and uncanny in spotting subject for us to shoot. I left that workshop impressed and with her number.
By the time the Covid 19 pandemic hit I had some non-Covid medical challenges that required a couple major surgeries. The results of which made my ability to continue scuba diving a question. I live in California and although we have some great diving the water temperature is never really warm. When considering how best to determine my ability to dive I remembered diving with Tammy in the (nice warm) waters of Florida.
At the beginning of 2023 I called her to see if I might retain her to review my abilities and skills one-on-one. She was immediately on board and we determined that June would be a good month for both of us and the waters would be warm. I booked her on the spot.
I got down to West Palm Beach this last Saturday (6/17/2023) and came by Finatix to select rental equipment, sign the ever present paperwork and review our plan for the next couple days. We set a time to meet for the beach dive at Blue Heron bridge the next day. We met there and went through setting up the gear. As balance issues are one of my residual challenges Tammy insisted on carrying my gear to the beach. We reviewed our dive plan and got in the water. On descending we reviewed some skills and started the dive. Tammy led and kept an eye on my checking that I was “OK” regularly. Inn our 50-minute dive we managed to spot; Southern Ray, Eagle Ray, Yellow Ray, lobster, crabs mating, A Sharp-Tailed Ray feeding and a playful Octopus.
We ended the day with an agreed time to meet for a 2-tank boat dive the next day. Tammy took the gear and brought it to the boat dock as well as getting it on-board. Before we boarded we reviewed boat procedures again. We went out for our first dive and she was careful to make sure that I could safely manage the difficult task of getting into the water off a rolling boat with heavy dive gear on my back.
We continued practicing dive skills and cruised the reef seeing more great stuff including several sea turtles and eels. As this was drift style diving, we came up after doing the required 15’ safety stop for 3 minutes in mid-water. A good test of buoyancy control. The boat picked us up and she monitored my ability to remove my fins, hand them up and climb the later with my gear on. After a surface interval we did a second dive then headed in. Tammy took care of the gear, signed my logbook and insisted that I had accomplished all the skills review that would confirm that I could still dive.
I know the next ime I’m down in the West Palm / Riviera Beach area Tammy and Finatix are going to be my first call.

翻译：这是我最近在 Finatix Scuba Diving 和 Tammy Goodbar 的经历的简短（和长篇）。
简短版本；
Tammy 和 Finatix 是我在西棕榈滩地区获取潜水指导和潜水指南的“首选”。专业、包容、细心，而且非常非常安全。四年没有潜水后，她刚刚为我复习了一遍。她温柔但坚定地确认了我在装备准备、潜水计划、潜伴程序、手势以及海滩和船上程序方面的技能。我强烈推荐她给任何寻求水肺潜水培训或潜水指南的人。
长版；
我第一次见到 Tammy 是在 2016 年 8 月，我在佛罗里达州里维埃拉海滩的蓝鹭桥举办水下微距摄影研讨会时。Tammy 是导游之一，我很幸运能加入她的团队。她的专业精神和她发现我们在那里拍摄的小动物的眼睛给我留下了深刻的印象。在三天的研讨会上，我发现我的第一印象并不是侥幸。塔米日复一日地成为一名专业人士，与摄影师争论不休，并且不可思议地为我们找到拍摄的主题。离开那个研讨会时，我留下了深刻的印象，并留下了她的电话号码。
当 Covid 19 大流行爆发时，我遇到了一些非 Covid 的医疗挑战，需要进行几次大手术。结果让我是否能够继续水肺潜水成为一个问题。我住在加利福尼亚州，虽然我们有一些很棒的潜水，但水温从来都不是很温暖。当考虑如何最好地确定我的潜水能力时，我记得和塔米一起在佛罗里达州（温暖的）水域潜水。
2023 年初，我打电话给她，看看是否可以保留她一对一地审查我的能力和技能。她立即上船，我们决定六月对我们俩来说都是美好的月份，而且海水会温暖。我当场就给她订了。
上周六（2023 年 6 月 17 日）我来到西棕榈滩，通过 Finatix 选择租赁设备、签署现有文件并审查我们接下来几天的计划。我们约定了第二天在蓝鹭桥海滩潜水的时间。我们在那里见面并设置了装备。由于平衡问题是我剩下的挑战之一，塔米坚持带着我的装备去海滩。我们回顾了我们的潜水计划并进入了水中。下降时，我们复习了一些技巧并开始潜水。塔米带领并密切关注我定期检查我是否“还好”。在我们 50 分钟的潜水中，我们成功地发现了；南方鳐鱼、鹰鳐鱼、黄鳐鱼、龙虾、螃蟹交配、正在进食的尖尾鳐鱼和顽皮的章鱼。
我们约定了第二天进行 2 罐船潜水的时间，结束了这一天。塔米拿起装备并将其带到船码头并装上船。在我们登船之前，我们再次回顾了乘船程序。我们第一次潜水，她很小心地确保我能够安全地完成这项艰巨的任务，即背着沉重的潜水装备从滚动的船上进入水中。
我们继续练习潜水技巧，并在珊瑚礁上巡游，看到了更多精彩的东西，包括几只海龟和鳗鱼。由于这是漂流式潜水，我们在水中按照要求的 15 英尺安全停留 3 分钟后上来。浮力控制的良好测试。船接了我们，她监控我是否能够取下脚蹼，将它们举起来，然后穿着装备爬上船。水面休息后，我们进行了第二次潜水，然后继续潜水。塔米照顾好装备，在我的日志上签名，并坚持认为我已经完成了所有技能审查，以确认我仍然可以潜水。
我知道下次我去西棕榈/里维埃拉海滩地区时，Tammy 和 Finatix 将是我的第一个电话。
