点评:I thoroughly enjoyed three days of diving with these guys, out of Airlie Beach. We visited a variety of different dive sites and my dives were primarily led by Amber and Rhys, who were both absolutely excellent, very knowledgeable, and very professional throughout, while also being extremely friendly and great fun. Chris, the boss, was also very helpful and I enjoyed chatting to him as he drove the boat too and from the various dive sites. If I’m ever back in this part of the world, I will definitely dive with you guys, again.
There is a slight downside, in that I found the prices quite high compared to what I would expect to pay in other parts of the world. However, Chris explained that this is largely to do with the price of being allowed to dive in a protected marine area. And the diving was certainly worthwhile!
Eunice, in the office, was also very efficient and helpful, both in terms of helping me book my dives and keeping me informed as to whether we would be diving on each day (given weather conditions, or whether there were enough divers to make a trip worthwhile). One suggestion, though, is that you should use the email address diving@whitsundaydiveadventures.com to make contact. I originally tried to get in touch through the website and did not get a response. I know from my own experience that website contact forms are not always the most efficient way to get in touch with people, so use the email address, instead.
翻译:我和这些伙伴们一起在艾尔利海滩附近进行了为期三天的潜水,体验棒极了。我们去了好几个不同的潜水点,主要由Amber和Rhys带领我潜水。他俩都非常出色,知识渊博且专业度极高;同时又极其友善、风趣幽默。带队的Chris也帮了很大的忙,他负责驾驶船只往返于各个潜水点,和他聊天也很有乐趣。以后要是再来到这一带,我一定还会找他们!我绝对会再和你们一起潜水的。
有一点小缺憾就是,我觉得这里的价格比我在世界其他地方预期的要高不少。不过克里斯解释说,这主要是因为进入受保护的海洋区域进行潜水需要支付相应费用。而这次潜水体验绝对物有所值!
办公室里的尤妮斯也非常高效且乐于助人。他们不仅帮我预订潜水行程,还会根据天气状况以及是否有足够多的潜水者参与来决定当天是否安排潜水活动,并及时通知我。不过有个小建议:联系时请使用邮箱 diving@whitsundaydiveadventures.com。我最初尝试通过网站联系,但并未得到回复。以我自身的经验来看,网站上的联系表单并不一定是与人取得联系的最有效方式,因此建议直接使用电子邮箱。
