点评:When I reviewed the dive companies in Grenada I was seeking some recreational dives with my wife and a decent tech dive on the Bianca C. Aquanauts didn’t disappoint.
For the recreational dives we joined a larger group on their boat ‘Reggae’. The boat safety briefing was excellent. I brought my own regs, but they supplied a good set for my wife with a gauge in bar not PSI, which I very much appreciated. There were plenty of DMs available but we generally took care of each other and bunged up a DSMB when we were done. Every dive site was carefully explained before each dive so we knew exactly what to expect, and the sites were all spectacular.
For the Bianca C., there was no way I was doing anything less than sidemount plus a dedo cylinder, and I had the pleasure of the boss Tom’s company for the dive. We had plenty of time to set up and test the wing and regs provided, and we used 26%, 30% and 60% mixes on the dive. Tom’s briefing was super clear and we both knew what was going to happen on the dive from the negative entry onwards. That wreck is huge, and you get a great view as you approach. We shot down to swim under the stern at 48.7m, coming out to find the biggest turtle I have ever seen. With the mixes we had, we managed a good 20 minutes on the wreck before starting our ascent, which is what we had individually planned and agreed beforehand. Tom lead the dive decisively and clearly, and we both knew what each other was doing all the time. At 12m we put up DSMBs, switched to 60% O2 and hung for just 12 minutes of deco. By the time we surfaced, the others on the boat had been for a dive, been retrieved and were sitting in the bow. We surfaced after a 55 minute runtime, happy divers and ready for a rest.
So, if you want great crews, top site selections and a company who will humour your obsessive tech diver brain, go to Aquanauts and rack up some deco.

休闲潜水时,我们加入了一个更大的潜水团,乘坐他们的“雷鬼号”(Reggae)潜水船。船上的安全讲解非常出色。我自带了调节器,但他们也为我妻子提供了一套不错的调节器,压力表单位是巴(bar)而不是磅/平方英寸(PSI),我对此非常感激。船上有很多潜水长(DM),但我们通常互相照应,并在潜水结束后系好水面信号浮标(DSMB)。每次潜水前,潜水员都会仔细讲解每个潜点的情况,让我们清楚地知道会发生什么,而且每个潜点都非常壮观。
至于比安卡号(Bianca C.)的技术潜水,我坚持要使用侧挂式浮力背心加一个Dedo气瓶,而且很荣幸能和老板Tom一起潜水。我们有充足的时间来设置和测试他们提供的背囊和调节器,潜水过程中我们使用了26%、30%和60%的混合气。汤姆的简报非常清晰,从负压入水开始,我们俩都清楚接下来的潜水流程。那艘沉船非常巨大,靠近时视野极佳。我们迅速下潜到48.7米深处,游到船尾下方,出来时发现了一只我见过的最大的海龟。凭借我们携带的混合气,我们在沉船上停留了足足20分钟,然后开始上升,这与我们事先各自计划和商定的方案一致。汤姆果断而清晰地带领我们潜水,我们始终清楚彼此的行动。在12米深处,我们架设了水面信号浮标(DSMB),切换到60%氧气,并在水下停留了12分钟进行减压。当我们浮出水面时,船上的其他人已经完成了一次潜水,被接回后正坐在船头。我们潜水了55分钟后浮出水面,心情愉悦,准备休息一下。
所以,如果你想要优秀的船员、一流的潜水地点选择以及一家能够满足你痴迷的技术潜水员思维的公司,那就去 Aquanauts 积累一些减压潜水经验吧。
