点评:In late February '26 I had the great good fortune to do a 4 day live-aboard trip in the Similan and Surin Islands with Big Blue out of Khao Lak. To say that the trip was outstanding in every respect would be an understatement. I am 70 years old and first started diving at 19 and this trip (taken with my professional diver daughter) was definitely a bucket list trip for me. Not for beginner divers as some of the dives were deep and you had to be Nitrox certified but the staff are well experienced and attentive and I never had any safety concerns. Had a choice of up to 4 dives per day (I only chose to sit out one dive on one day) and the sites varied in their 'architecture' and marine life. Always lots to see, corals both soft and hard are in good shape and staff know their 'stuff'. The service on the boat was exceptional; hot, fresh towels were provided after every dive, we were served plentiful and delicious meals and snacks throughout (they even happily accommodated a rare garlic allergy of mine) and the spirited and fun staff were delightful company. The deck crew sweetly helped me into both my wetsuit and gear and, at 70, I happily took advantage. An added bonus was the fact that our trip had a turtle conservationist on board who did a wonderful job of educating us about the turtles found in the Andaman.
翻译:2026年2月下旬,我有幸参加了Big Blue公司从考拉出发的为期四天的斯米兰群岛和苏林群岛船宿潜水之旅。说这次旅行各方面都堪称完美,简直是轻描淡写。我今年70岁,19岁才开始潜水,这次旅行(和我的职业潜水员女儿一起)绝对是我人生清单上的一项。这次旅行不适合初学者,因为有些潜点比较深,需要持有高氧潜水证,但船员经验丰富、细致周到,我从未感到任何安全隐患。每天最多可以选择四次潜水(我只有一天选择休息一次),每个潜点的“构造”和海洋生物都各不相同。总能看到很多东西,软硬珊瑚都保存完好,船员们对潜水知识非常精通。船上的服务也无可挑剔;每次潜水后都会提供热腾腾的干净毛巾,全程都有丰盛美味的餐点和小吃供应(他们甚至很贴心地照顾了我罕见的蒜过敏),热情风趣的船员们也让人倍感愉快。甲板上的工作人员亲切地帮我穿戴潜水服和装备,我这个70岁的老人欣然接受了他们的帮助。更令人惊喜的是,我们这次旅行还请到了一位海龟保护专家随行,他为我们精彩地讲解了安达曼海域的海龟知识。
