点评:I now have 35 dives with SFDH in varying conditions and here's my experience and experiences from watching other divers.
As a diver flying in from Illinois, I have high expectations when I arrive but managing those expectations is key.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Eager, able to assist and answer all questions. Do your part as a diver, show up early and as prepared as possible.
Safety, the biggest one for me, they take roll call before leaving the dock which is computer generated from your diving waiver. You receive a boat orientation and safety brief en route. Sea and bottom conditions relayed, assistance entering and exiting the boat and another roll call at the completion of each dive site. Water and snacks provided, ice cooler available for brought food and beverages.
Signing up for specific dive sites and then those dive sites being changed on the fly by the Captain or Dive Master is disappointing but once again they change sites for diver safety.
"Passengers" working as crew. I had a conversation with a group of concerned divers who saw "passengers" assisting in boat duties and were wondering how the company could allow such a thing. These passengers are, in face, SFDH Dive Masters and Instructors who happen to be on the boat that day diving. They are simply assisting their fellow company employees. SFDH does not allow passengers to assist is boat duties!!!
Canceled dive trips, very frustrating, but let me tell you, if they cancel a trip it is for your safety!!!!!
Rough seas (5'+ swells), yes, it's going to be rough and you'll probably see divers with sea sickness, yes, you'll have to time your giant stride entry and it might be challenging to reenter the boat. Absolutely, the crew will assist you with everything you need to make your diving experience safe and great. Accept this or a canceled trip for safety.
Overall, this company and staff will do everything possible to give you the best and safest diving experience possible for that specific day. Manage your expectations, and you'll also have a great experience!!!
翻译:我现在已经在不同条件下与 SFDH 进行了 35 次潜水,以下是我的经验以及观察其他潜水员的经验。
作为一名从伊利诺伊州飞来的潜水员,我到达时抱有很高的期望,但管理这些期望是关键。
工作人员友好、知识渊博、乐于助人且专业。热心,能够协助和回答所有问题。尽你作为潜水员的职责,尽早出现并做好尽可能的准备。
安全,对我来说最重要的一点,他们在离开码头之前点名,这是计算机根据你的潜水豁免生成的。您会在途中收到船只方向和安全简介。转达海洋和海底状况,协助进出船,并在每个潜水地点完成时再次点名。提供水和小吃,冰柜可用于存放自带的食物和饮料。
注册特定的潜水地点,然后船长或潜水长随时更改这些潜水地点是令人失望的,但为了潜水员的安全,他们再次更改地点。
作为机组人员的“乘客”。我与一群关心此事的潜水员进行了交谈,他们看到“乘客”协助船上工作,并想知道公司如何允许这样的事情发生。这些乘客实际上是当天在船上潜水的 SFDH 潜水大师和教练。他们只是协助公司同事。 SFDH 不允许乘客协助是船上职责!
取消潜水旅行,非常令人沮丧,但让我告诉你,如果他们取消旅行,那是为了你的安全!
汹涌的海面(5英尺以上的海浪),是的,天气会很汹涌,你可能会看到晕船的潜水员,是的,你必须把握好大跨步进入的时间,重新进入船可能会很困难。当然,工作人员会为您提供所需的一切帮助,让您的潜水体验安全而美好。为了安全起见,接受此行程或取消行程。
总的来说,这家公司和员工将尽一切可能为您提供当天最好、最安全的潜水体验。管理您的期望,您也会获得很棒的体验!
