点评:We did the beginner’s course with the wonderful Billy. I am especially grateful for his calm instruction and how he helped me build my confidence in the water. I have a panic disorder and wanted to conquer my fear of being in water. From the first pool session, I was able to learn to trust my body and think through my actions before my anxiety has the chance to take over. The beginner course is a mix of theory and hands-on learning that helps you gradually build up to deeper dives.
The dives are in small groups, with other members of the friendly team at DPM. Equipment is in great condition and safety protocols were strictly adhered to at all times. Everyone is encouraging and great at celebrating our improvements each dive. It’s clear that they are passionate about teaching and excited to share in the experience with us.
Not only did we learn to dive, we saw such a rich diversity of marine life that they made sure to point out to us on dives. Moray eels, trumpet fish, porcupine fish, giant clams…and turtles! So many turtles.
I came with the intention of working on my anxiety. I’ve left with a new interest in diving and will probably return soon to advance!
翻译:我们参加了由优秀的教练比利(Billy)指导的初级潜水课程。我特别感谢他沉稳的指导,以及他帮助我建立起在水中的自信。我患有恐慌症,一直想克服对水的恐惧。从第一次泳池练习开始,我就学会了信任自己的身体,并在焦虑占据上风之前深思熟虑。初级课程结合了理论和实践,帮助你循序渐进地进行更深的潜水。
潜水活动以小组形式进行,与DPM团队其他友好的成员一起。潜水装备状况良好,安全规程始终严格遵守。每个人都非常鼓励我们,并乐于庆祝我们每次潜水的进步。很明显,他们对教学充满热情,并很高兴与我们分享这段经历。
我们不仅学会了潜水,还看到了种类繁多的海洋生物,教练在每次潜水时都会特意为我们指出来。海鳗、喇叭鱼、刺豚、巨型砗磲……还有海龟!好多海龟啊!
我来这里原本是为了克服焦虑。结果却对潜水产生了新的兴趣,可能很快就会回来进阶!
