点评:This was my second year diving with Aqua Marine, and they did not disappoint! Did 6 days of 2-tank diving, so got to experience much of their staff. Steph, dive captain and guide, is knowledgeable and friendly, and really wants to be sure it's a good experience. Ketchup (aka Ben) is a master of the macros and full of joyous energy. Earl is the calm one who keeps an eye on everyone. Zach, Dillon, and Lewis are each competent and friendly. They all have really good energy working together (which isn't always the case at dive shops).
What I like about Aqua Marine is (i) they do a clear and succinct briefing; (ii) they 'read the room' to assess skill levels so that they can tailor help/guidance in an appropriate way; (iii) they seem to have a reasonable ratio 4 -5 divers/guide; (iv) they let you dive a full 60 mins (but will accompany divers to the boat who want to return sooner); and (v) they don't over- hype the dive sites. Honestly, St Thomas diving isn't the best diving I do (but any day diving is better than not) so I'm happy they don't act like it's the be all end all of diving. They just enjoy.
I didn't rent any gear, but their gear looked pretty new and well cared for. They rinsed and cleaned my personal gear, and did a thorough job of it (thank you!). The boat is clean and comfortable and they provide snacks and drinks. Go with these guys!
翻译:这是我第二次在Aqua Marine潜水,他们果然没让我失望!我进行了6天的双瓶潜水,所以有机会体验了他们大部分的员工。潜水队长兼向导Steph知识渊博、热情友好,她真心希望我们都能拥有美好的体验。Ketchup(又名Ben)是微距摄影大师,浑身充满活力。Earl则沉稳冷静,时刻关注着每个人。Zach、Dillon和Lewis也都非常称职友好。他们合作起来非常融洽(这在潜水店并不常见)。
我喜欢Aqua Marine的几点是:(i) 他们的潜水简报清晰简洁;(ii) 他们会观察潜水员的水平,以便提供合适的帮助和指导;(iii) 他们的师生比例似乎很合理,4-5名潜水员配1名向导;(iv) 他们允许你潜水60分钟(但如果潜水员想提前返回,他们也会陪同)。 (v) 他们不会过度吹捧潜点。说实话,圣托马斯岛的潜水体验并非我体验过的最佳潜水(但总比没潜水强),所以我很高兴他们没有把那里吹捧成潜水的终极目的地。他们只是单纯地享受潜水。
我没有租用任何装备,但他们的装备看起来很新,保养得也很好。他们帮我清洗了个人装备,而且清洗得非常彻底(谢谢!)。船干净舒适,他们还提供小吃和饮料。强烈推荐这家潜水公司!
