点评:I expected that Haliotis would be professional since I dove with their Dive Center in Peniche. These guys have their procedures down with loading the boat, swapping the tanks, rinsing your equipment later. Every trip we had 2 dive masters and a captain, all of them knowlegable and helpful. They gave clear dive briefings before every dive, covering entry and exit procedures as well as the depth, landscape, and critters we might find. They broke us up the group into 2 so that more experienced divers dove with one divemaster and less experienced with another. It was never crowded on the dives, and many of our dives were one hour long, or a little longer depending on the divers.
The Zodiac is fast and Captain Picka navigated well, sometimes anchoring, but other times picking us up when the DM released an SMB. Both divemasters and captain helped you get your tank and BCD on, and when you returned to the boat, took your weight belt, bcd and fins while you were in the water, then up the ladder. During the surface interval we parked in a calm area of sun or shade depending on the temperature, and watched the turtles come up for air. On the way back we saw a pod of Dolphins. They served us water in cups and bananas and cookies.
My friend did a "recert" for the first dive. She was alone with the instructor, and he was very thorough taking her through various exercises while the rest of the divers dove with DM Filipa.
It was easy diving with these guys and fun hanging out with them.
I had dive masters Filipa and Dmitry during 5 days of diving. They lead the group, showing us nudibranchs, frogfish, rays, turtles, lobster, so many critters. I heard them speak mostly English, but also French and Portugues. I had total confidence in the DM and captain
翻译:我之前在佩尼切的Haliotis潜水中心潜水过,所以对他们的专业水平有所预期。他们操作流程非常规范,从装载船只、更换气瓶到后续的装备清洗,都做得井井有条。每次出海都有两位潜水长和一位船长,他们知识渊博,乐于助人。每次潜水前,他们都会进行清晰的潜水简报,涵盖入水和出水程序,以及潜水深度、水下地形和可能遇到的海洋生物。他们将我们分成两组,经验丰富的潜水员由一位潜水长带领,经验较少的潜水员则由另一位潜水长带领。每次潜水人数都不多,很多潜水时长都在一小时左右,有时也会根据潜水员的情况稍长一些。
橡皮艇速度很快,船长Picka驾驶技术娴熟,有时会抛锚停泊,有时则会在潜水长释放水面信号浮标(SMB)后接我们上船。两位潜水长和船长都会帮助我们穿戴气瓶和浮力背心(BCD),返回船上时,他们会在水下帮我们取下配重带、BCD和脚蹼,然后通过舷梯把我们送上船。水面休息期间,我们根据温度选择阳光充足或阴凉的平静水域,观看海龟浮出水面呼吸。返程途中,我们看到一群海豚。它们给我们送来了水、香蕉和饼干。
我的朋友第一次潜水后进行了复训。她单独和教练一起,教练非常细致地指导她完成各种练习,而其他潜水员则和潜水长菲利帕一起潜水。
和他们一起潜水很轻松,和他们在一起也很开心。
在为期五天的潜水中,我的潜水长是菲利帕和德米特里。他们带领我们,向我们展示了裸鳃类动物、躄鱼、鳐鱼、海龟、龙虾等等各种各样的海洋生物。我听到他们主要说英语,但也听到法语和葡萄牙语。我对潜水长和船长都非常信任。
