点评:My brother and I dove with Pura Vida Divers last week, and unfortunately it was one of the worst dive experiences I’ve had — and I’ve dived many times all over the world.
Before booking, we were very clear that we were relatively new divers and had never done a drift dive. We specifically expressed that we wanted to feel safe and properly supported. We were assured it would be fine, but once we were in the water, the support simply wasn’t there.
There was very little help with weights at the start. I quickly realized I was underweighted and had to go back and get more, which immediately separated me from the group. From there, things only got worse. I ended up alone on the reef during a drift — something that should never happen — and ultimately had to surface solo and wait for the boat by myself.
To make matters worse, my surface marker/flag device wouldn’t inflate properly, and I had to be picked up alone. At no point did I feel like anyone from the team was proactively ensuring I was safe or accounted for. Afterward, the only response I received was essentially, “Sorry you had a bad experience.” That was the extent of the support.
The diving itself may be beautiful, but the staff’s lack of attentiveness and concern for client safety and experience was deeply disappointing. When newer divers communicate nervousness and inexperience with drift diving, that should be taken seriously — not brushed aside.
This wasn’t about conditions or bad luck. It was about a lack of care and leadership. I would not recommend this operation to newer divers, and I left feeling unsettled rather than excited about the dive.
翻译:上周我和哥哥参加了Pura Vida Divers的潜水活动,不幸的是,这成了我经历过的最糟糕的潜水体验之一——而我潜水经验丰富,足迹遍布世界各地。
预订之前,我们明确表示自己是新手,从未体验过放流潜水。我们特别强调希望感到安全,并能得到充分的支持。他们向我们保证一切都会没问题,但下水之后,我们却发现根本没有得到任何支持。
一开始,配重方面几乎没有任何帮助。我很快意识到自己配重不足,不得不返回去拿更多,这让我立刻与团队走散了。之后的情况更是雪上加霜。在放流过程中,我竟然独自一人待在珊瑚礁上——这绝对不应该发生——最终不得不独自浮出水面,独自等待船只的到来。
更糟糕的是,我的水面标志/旗帜装置无法正常充气,我不得不独自一人被救起。整个过程中,我丝毫感觉不到团队中有人主动关心我的安全或确认我的行踪。事后,我收到的唯一回复基本上就是一句“很抱歉您体验不佳”。这就是他们提供的全部支持。
潜水本身或许很美,但工作人员对客户安全和体验的漠不关心令人深感失望。当新手潜水员表达对放流潜水的紧张和经验不足时,应该认真对待,而不是置之不理。
这不是因为潜水条件不好或运气不好,而是缺乏关怀和领导。我不会向新手潜水员推荐这家潜水中心,离开时我感到不安,而不是对潜水充满期待。
