点评:This dive shop is also known as Aqua Diving Adventures and was recommended to me by Arrecifal Dive Centre for my Advanced Open Water course. Whilst there are fewer reviews for this shop, I'm very glad I decided to dive with them. I loved the fact that my hotel, Sur Restinga, was a stone's throw away. Aqua Diving Adventures have the best location right on the port where I did 3 out of 5 dives. Having everything right there really added to the overall experience. I had originally thought a course with a group was what I was looking for, but there is really nothing better than having the full attention of the teacher for learning. Also, it's worth mentioning that there is little English on El Hierro so when I was with the groups for the sea dives, you can't but help but feel a bit left out if your Spanish isn't great. It's all part of the experience of travel though, and the quality of the dives more than made up for it. From now on my preference will be tiny groups for certifications like this. Everything is tailored to what you need to work on, so you progress much faster. Rodri, my teacher, was very meticulous about the details, so I have the feeling that I really improved my diving way beyond what I might be able to do with another teacher. We practiced a lot on perfecting buoyancy which enabled me to do one of the most exciting dives of my life. Though Europe is not as vibrant as other places further afield, this was a stunning dive with a number of channels, caves and crannies to navigate through waves of fish, and I felt a real sense of accomplishment that I was able to maintain such precise control through what felt a bit like an obstacle course. The fish were great too and there are plenty of larger ones like rays and there was a very rare solrayo shark on that dive. Besides being a very effective teacher on the skills, Rodri was such a lovely and warm person too and was very patient, which I appreciated as I was struggling with multi-tasking. It was overall a really great experience doing my course with Aqua Diving Adventures and I'm super energised to go diving again in a couple months. It's worth mentioning that El Hierro itself is super interesting because it is such a polar extreme from Tenerife just two hours by ferry away but it's still very affordable to get there. Tenerife is super commercialised but there's very little in the way of shops and restaurants in La Restinga where all the diving is on El Hierro. It's a tiny place too! I really fell in love with it.
翻译:这家潜水店也被称为“Aqua Diving Adventures”。我在参加进阶开放水域潜水课程时,是Arrecifal Dive Centre向我推荐了这家店。虽然关于这家店的评论不多,但我很高兴自己最终选择了与他们一起潜水。最让我满意的是,我下榻的Sur Restinga酒店离潜水点仅几步之遥。Aqua Diving Adventures的店面位于港口旁,位置极佳;我在那里的5次潜水中有3次都是在此完成的。一切都近在咫尺,这真的极大地提升了我的整体潜水体验。我原以为和团体一起上课才是我想要的,但实际上,能得到老师全神贯注的指导才是学习的最佳方式。另外值得一提的是,埃尔耶罗岛上几乎说不上英语;因此,当我和团体一起进行海底潜水时,如果我的西班牙语不够好,难免会有一种被冷落的感觉。不过这一切都是旅行的体验的一部分,而潜水体验的精彩程度也完全弥补了这一点。今后,对于这类认证课程,我更倾向于选择人数很少的小班教学。所有课程内容都是根据个人需要来设计的,因此进步速度也快得多。我的教练罗德里对细节要求极为严格,所以我感觉自己的潜水技术有了显著提升——这种提升程度是换作其他教练恐怕难以达到的。我们花大量时间来练习如何完美控制浮力,这也让我得以完成人生中最精彩的几次潜水体验。虽然欧洲的潜水环境比不上其他地方那样充满活力,但这次潜水体验堪称绝佳——有许多水道、洞穴和缝隙可供探索,成群的鱼群在周围游动。能够在这样一个犹如障碍赛场般的环境中保持精准的操控,我真是成就感满满。鱼群也相当吸引人,其中有许多体型较大的鱼类,比如鳐鱼;那次潜水时我还碰巧遇到了极为罕见的索尔雷约鲨。除了在技能教学方面非常出色之外……罗德里也是个非常可爱、热情的人,而且极有耐心。由于我不太擅长同时处理多项任务,他的耐心真的让我受益匪浅。总的来说,在Aqua Diving Adventures参加课程是一次极为美好的体验;几个月后我就能再次潜水了,对此我兴奋不已。值得一提的是,埃尔耶罗岛本身也极具魅力——它与乘渡轮仅需两小时即可抵达的特内里费岛截然不同,但前往那里的花费却依然十分亲民。特内里费岛的商业化程度极高,但在拉雷斯廷加却几乎没有什么商店和餐馆——而所有潜水的活动都是在耶罗岛上进行的。那里也是个超小的地方呢!我真的深深爱上了它。
