点评:Doing my Open Water course with Pro Dive Cairns was honestly one of the best decisions I made on my trip. I was really nervous going in — I wasn’t a particularly confident swimmer and had never dived before — but I was made to feel comfortable and safe from the very beginning.
We started with a day of training in the pool with Storm, who was brilliant at making everything feel manageable. After that, I joined Andy’s team on the liveaboard, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group. Andy was incredibly friendly, patient and funny, and he was really reassuring whenever I felt nervous.
I was the only girl in my group, but I felt completely comfortable and safe with everyone. I ended up making some amazing friends, which made the whole experience even more special.
And of course, the diving itself was incredible! We saw so much amazing marine life, including turtles, reef sharks, manta rays and loads of colourful fish. Seeing all of this on my first ever dives was absolutely surreal and made the whole experience even more unforgettable.
The food made by Mariane on the boat was incredible, Mariane even made homemade cakes for us! The skipper Kevin were also so friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. We did four supervised dives, which gave us the confidence and skills we needed to go on and enjoy independent fun dives afterwards.
What I really appreciated was that there was absolutely no pressure to push yourself. The crew took our worries seriously and adapted things to our individual pace, which made such a difference to me as a first-time diver.
The three days on the liveaboard were genuinely some of my favourite days of my entire Australia trip. Waking up on the Great Barrier Reef, diving multiple times a day, seeing incredible marine life and meeting amazing people was an experience I’ll never forget.
I went in feeling nervous and unsure of myself and came out completely hooked on diving. I honestly couldn’t recommend Pro Dive Cairns enough!
翻译:在凯恩斯Pro Dive参加开放水域潜水课程,说实话这是我这次旅行中做出的最正确的决定之一。刚开始时我非常紧张——我的游泳水平一般,也从未潜过水——但从一开始,我就感受到了舒适与安全。
我们首先在泳池里接受了Storm的指导,他真的很擅长帮助学员轻松掌握各项技巧。之后,我加入了Andy带领的船宿潜水团,能遇到这样一群人真是再好不过了。安迪极其友善、耐心又有趣,每当我感到紧张时,他总能给我带来安心感。
我是团队中唯一的女孩,但在大家面前我却感到无比自在和安全。最终我还结交了一些很棒的朋友,这让整个经历变得更加难忘。
当然,潜水本身也棒极了!我们看到了许多迷人的海洋生物,包括海龟、礁石鲨鱼、蝠鲼以及形形色色色彩斑斓的鱼儿。在我生平第一次潜水时目睹了这一切,真的如同置身梦境一般,让整个体验更加难忘。
玛丽安在船上制作的食物简直棒极了,她甚至还为我们做了自制蛋糕!船长凯文也非常友好、博学且经验丰富。我们进行了四次有专人指导的潜水,这让我们获得了必要的信心与技能,从而能够之后独自享受愉快的潜水之旅。真正让我感激的是,全程完全没有强迫我们勉强自己的压力。工作人员认真对待我们的顾虑,并根据我们各自的节奏来调整安排,这对于初次潜水的我来说意义重大。
在潜水船上度过的三天,绝对是我整个澳大利亚之旅中最难忘的时光。在大堡礁上醒来、每天多次潜水、目睹各种神奇的海洋生物,还有结识了许多了不起的人——这一切都是我永远无法忘怀的经历。我进去的时候既紧张又没信心,出来后却彻底迷上了潜水。说真的,我极力推荐Pro Dive Cairns!
