点评:Ended up reaching out last minute in hopes of being able to set up some kind of tour for our last day in Freeport. Shamie got back to us quickly, and offered up a few options for us to choose between. I ended up choosing to do a 2-tank dive between both Owl Hole and Ben's cave.
Hard to overstate how amazing of an experience these two were. One week earlier I had dived with sharks, and yet the coupling of these two dives exceeded even that experience for me personally.
Shamie was clear with his directions, firm on his expectations of safety, and then super mellow throughout the actual experience.
For being a cavern Owl's Hole really gives you the experience of cave diving, which is not for the feint of heart! It was a humbling and a wholly unique experience for someone who has only 15 open water dives under his belt. Shamie made the whole process feel safe and I knew clearly what to expect in terms of the step-by-step of it all. The 30ft ladder getting in and out of the cavern all geared up is also no joke, so make sure you're ready for this dive to be a bit more mental and physical than Ben's Cave.
By comparison, Ben's Cave is way chiller, but has it's own unique experience attached to it. For those less physically abled or seeking something a bit more mellow // easily accessed, Ben's cave is the move for sure. There is a moment where you are deep in the cave, sitting upon a giant stalagmite formation staring back at the natural light scattering throughout the now aquamarine water... I genuinely think it might be one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.
My wife, who is pregnant, even tagged along and felt supported and comfortable throughout the whole journey.
Can't say it enough -- 10/10 -- 5 stars -- highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and humbling experience. Thanks Shamie. We hope to see you again once our daughter is old enough to start her diving journey!!
翻译:最后一天,我们临时决定联系潜水公司,希望能安排一次在弗里波特的潜水之旅。Shamie很快回复了我们,并提供了几个选择。最终我选择了猫头鹰洞和本氏洞穴的双瓶潜水。
这两次潜水体验简直太棒了,难以用语言形容。一周前我刚和鲨鱼一起潜水过,但这两次潜水加起来的体验甚至超越了那次。
Shamie讲解清晰,对安全要求严格,而且在整个潜水过程中都非常沉稳。
猫头鹰洞虽然是洞穴潜水,但却能让你真正体验到洞穴潜水的刺激,这可不是胆小的人能承受的!对于一个只有15次开放水域潜水经验的人来说,这真是一次令人敬畏又独一无二的经历。Shamie让整个过程都让人感到安全,而且我对每个步骤都了如指掌。爬上30英尺高的梯子进出洞穴可不是闹着玩的,而且全副武装可不是件轻松的事,所以一定要做好准备,这次潜水比本氏洞穴更考验身心。
相比之下,本氏洞穴轻松得多,但也拥有其独特的体验。对于体力不支或想找个更轻松、更容易到达的地方的人来说,本氏洞穴绝对是最佳选择。想象一下,你身处洞穴深处,坐在巨大的石笋上,凝视着阳光洒落在碧蓝的洞水中……我真心觉得这可能是我见过的最美的景色之一。
我的妻子怀孕了,她也跟着一起去了,全程都感觉很舒适安心。
强烈推荐——满分10分——五星好评——给所有想要体验独特而令人震撼的潜水之旅的人。谢谢Shamie。我们希望等女儿长大到可以开始潜水之旅时,能再次见到你们!
