点评:We had an amazing time learning Scuba with our instructor Stefano. I had never dived before, my partner had done a couple brief sessions, but during the holiday we both got our Open Water Dive and Enriched Air qualifications, and did some amazing dives on the island reef as well as from boats. In terms of what there is to see, we were lucky enough to see many Manta Rays at Manta point, turtles, sharks, and a sleeping octopus. Even if you don't get any of these big hitters, the scenery / coral / fish / underwater caves are amazing and (maybe an obvious statement) the experience is indescribably better than snorkelling in the same area.
In terms of guides, all our dives were with Stefano as 1 instructor for 2 learners. This was well worth it - he's a fantastic teacher, made everything seem as straightforward as it can be (e.g. when the task is "take off your scuba backpack underwater") and we always felt very safe and in great hands. The first few dives he was mostly leading us by the hands but very soon we had learnt enough to navigate completely solo, which was an amazing experience. Can't say enough good things about Stefano - we weren't planning on getting qualifications, more like do one dive to try it out, but we had so much fun it was an easy decision to do the rest. He took some amazing 360 footage of us on the final dive. We are considering coming back next year for more Stefano!
Overall, a really unforgettable experience with an excellent team.
翻译:我们和教练斯特凡诺一起学习水肺潜水,度过了一段美好的时光。我之前从未潜水过,我的同伴也只进行过几次短暂的体验,但在假期里,我们都拿到了开放水域潜水员和高氧潜水员的资格证书,并在岛屿礁石区以及船上进行了几次精彩的潜水。至于能看到什么,我们很幸运地在蝠鲼点看到了许多蝠鲼、海龟、鲨鱼,还有一只正在睡觉的章鱼。即使你没能看到这些大型海洋生物,这里的景色、珊瑚、鱼类和水下洞穴也令人叹为观止,而且(也许这显而易见)这种体验远胜于在同一区域浮潜。
关于潜水向导,我们所有的潜水都是由斯特凡诺一人指导,他一人带我们两个学员。这绝对物超所值——他是一位非常棒的教练,把所有事情都讲解得尽可能简单明了(例如,当任务是“在水下脱掉你的潜水背包”时),我们始终感到非常安全,并且得到了很好的照顾。最初几次潜水,他几乎都是手把手地带领我们,但很快我们就学会了完全独立潜水,这真是一次令人难忘的体验。我对Stefano赞不绝口——我们原本没打算考潜水证,只是想体验一下,但玩得太开心了,所以毫不犹豫地决定继续下去。最后一次潜水时,他还为我们拍摄了一些精彩的360度全景视频。我们正在考虑明年再来,再次跟随Stefano潜水!
总而言之,这是一次与优秀团队共度的难忘经历。
