点评:If you're diving in St. Croix, stop looking—Sweet Bottom Dive Center is it.
One thing that really stood out was how well they matched people to dives and guides. Nothing felt random—they paired me with exactly the right guide for each dive site, and no mix and match groups, everything organized thoughtfully.
The first thing I noticed was how sparkling clean and organized everything was. You can tell a lot about a dive operation by how they treat their gear, and they clearly care. They even rinsed and completely dried my gear before my flight home, which was such a nice touch and made packing so much easier. Huge bonus: they're right next to **The Landing**. Do yourself a favor and order the rum cake after your dive. Trust me.
If you're into macro or just love finding the tiny weird stuff everyone else swims past, do a pier dive with Cash. The guy has superhuman eyes—I swear he can find anything.
For the North Shore and Cane Bay, dive with Chris. He's one of those people who's so comfortable underwater that you end up learning just by watching him. A true pro, and every dive with him made me a better diver.
And then there's Hunter. If you want more than just a dive guide, go with him. He somehow knows the history behind every site, the stories behind the island, and—I'm convinced—the home address of every fish in St. Croix. If there's something hiding on the reef, he'll find it.
I don't write many reviews, but these guys earned this one. I'll definitely be back.
翻译:如果你要在圣克罗伊岛潜水,不用再四处寻找了——Sweet Bottom潜水中心就是你的不二之选。
最让我印象深刻的一点就是他们能为潜水者精准匹配合适的潜点和向导。整个过程毫无随意性:他们为我在每个潜点都安排了最契合的向导,而且绝不会把不同水平的潜水者混编在一起,一切安排得井然有序。
首先吸引我注意的是这里的一切都极其干净且井然有序。从一家潜水中心对待器材的方式便能看出其专业程度,显然他们对此极为用心。他们甚至在我返程航班前帮我冲洗并完全晾干了潜水装备,这一贴心举动让打包变得轻松许多。还有一个大优点:他们就在**The Landing**旁边。建议你潜水后点一份朗姆酒蛋糕吧,相信我。
如果你喜欢微距摄影,或者就喜欢寻找那些其他人都会忽略的细小而奇特的生物,那就跟着Cash去码头潜水吧。这家伙有着超人般的眼力——我敢说他什么都能找得到。
至于北岸和Cane Bay地区,则跟着Chris潜水吧。他属于那种在水下表现得极为自如的人,光是看着他潜水就能学到不少东西。他是个真正的专业人士,每次和他一起潜水都能让我的潜水技术有所提升。
还有亨特。如果你需要的可不只是个潜水向导,那就选他吧。他似乎知晓每个潜水点的历史渊源、这座岛屿背后的故事;我敢肯定,圣克罗伊岛上每条鱼的住址他也都知道。要是礁石群里藏着什么秘密,他肯定能找出来。
我很少写评论。不过这些人确实配得上这个。我肯定会再来的。
