Not comfortable and questionable practices
Yongala Dive的点评
点评：SSI Master Diver perspective.
I recently dived the SS Yongala with this operator in conditions that were significantly rougher than expected. While I understand offshore diving can involve swell and variable conditions, I personally found the overall safety culture and communication less conservative than what I would expect from a professional operation.
Before entry, divers were told to minimise movement on the vessel due to the sea state. When I attempted to properly test my own equipment, I was interrupted and instructed to finish gearing up and enter the water. In practice, this made it very difficult to conduct a calm and complete personal equipment verification onboard.
During the dive, the mouthpiece on my primary regulator was heavily worn and unstable in my mouth under surge/current conditions. I eventually had to switch to my alternate air source underwater. While using an octopus is of course part of diver training, needing to switch regulators during a recreational dive because of equipment condition is not something I consider normal or acceptable.
Several divers became seasick during the trip and conditions onboard were difficult for part of the group. The dive briefing also described the dive as “easy,” which did not match the overall surface conditions experienced that day.
To be fair, the crew remained calm and the underwater visibility/current itself was manageable once at depth. I also appreciate that offshore operations are complex and weather-dependent.
However, after the trip I noticed multiple reviews from other divers mentioning similar concerns regarding rough-condition management, communication about conditions beforehand, and equipment wear. Based on my own experience, I unfortunately cannot rate the operation more highly.
2/5

我最近跟随这家潜水运营商在SS Yongala号上潜水，当时的海况远比预期恶劣。虽然我理解近海潜水难免会遇到涌浪和多变的海况，但我个人感觉他们的安全意识和沟通方式远不如专业潜水公司应有的水平。
下水前，潜水员被告知由于海况恶劣，应尽量减少在船上的活动。当我试图正确测试自己的装备时，却被打断并被要求完成装备穿戴并下水。实际上，这使得在船上冷静且完整地检查个人装备变得非常困难。
潜水过程中，我的主调节器的咬嘴磨损严重，在涌浪/水流的情况下非常不稳定。最终，我不得不切换到水下备用气源。虽然使用备用呼吸器是潜水员训练的一部分，但在休闲潜水过程中因为装备状况而需要更换调节器，我认为这既不正常也不可接受。
有几位潜水员在旅途中晕船，船上的环境对部分潜水员来说也比较难受。潜水简报中将这次潜水描述为“轻松”，但这与当天实际的水面状况并不相符。
平心而论，船员们始终保持冷静，而且一旦下潜到一定深度，水下能见度和水流情况也都在可控范围内。我也理解海上作业复杂且受天气影响较大。
然而，行程结束后，我注意到其他潜水员也多次评论，表达了类似的担忧，例如恶劣海况下的应对、事先沟通不足以及装备磨损等问题。根据我自身的经历，很遗憾，我无法对这次潜水活动给予更高的评价。
