点评:We came to Turkey intending for this to mostly be a climbing holiday, but after diving with the team at Octopus Diving Center we ended up doing more scuba diving than climbing because they made it such a genuinely fun and unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you especially to Ibrahim and Kubi for three brilliant days of diving. Kubi in particular is an incredibly patient, calm, understanding, and skilled instructor. He explained everything clearly, checked on us constantly underwater to make sure we understood and felt comfortable, and gave us enough independence to actually build confidence rather than feel over-managed. By the end of the trip we genuinely felt like capable, confident divers rather than nervous beginners.
They helped us complete our PADI Open Water Diver certification at a very fair and reasonable price, and even gave us an extra day of diving out on the water for free, which honestly says a lot about the kind of people they are.
The dives themselves were amazing. We got to explore caves, see loads of marine life including lionfish, and were shown so many interesting things underwater that we would have completely missed on our own. The balance between safety, freedom, and fun was perfect.
What also stood out was how patient and adaptable Kubi is as an instructor. As someone with an autistic daughter, I left thinking he would actually be fantastic with neurodivergent kids and nervous divers because he teaches in such a calm, respectful, pressure-free way.
We would absolutely come back and I’d 100% recommend them to anyone wanting to dive while visiting Turkey.
翻译:我们原本计划来土耳其主要以攀岩为主,但在与 Octopus 潜水中心的团队一起潜水后,我们最终潜水的时间比攀岩的时间还多,因为他们让这次潜水体验变得如此有趣且令人难忘。
特别感谢 Ibrahim 和 Kubi,感谢他们带给我们精彩的三天潜水之旅。Kubi 尤其是一位极具耐心、沉着冷静、善解人意且技术精湛的教练。他讲解清晰透彻,在水下不断关注我们,确保我们理解并感到舒适,同时给予我们足够的自主空间来建立自信,而不是让我们感到被过度控制。旅程结束时,我们感觉自己真正成为了能够胜任且自信的潜水员,而不是紧张的初学者。
他们以非常公平合理的价格帮助我们完成了 PADI 开放水域潜水员认证,甚至还免费赠送了我们一天的潜水时间,这真的体现了他们的为人。
潜水本身也令人惊叹。我们探索了洞穴,看到了包括狮子鱼在内的各种海洋生物,还被带去欣赏了许多我们自己根本不可能发现的水下奇观。安全、自由和乐趣之间的平衡堪称完美。
库比作为教练的耐心和适应能力也给我留下了深刻的印象。我有一个自闭症女儿,所以离开时我觉得他非常适合照顾有神经多样性的孩子和紧张的潜水员,因为他的教学方式非常平静、尊重且轻松自在。
我们一定会再次光顾,我也会百分之百地向所有想在土耳其潜水的人推荐他们。
