点评:Happy Dive Center operates out of the Bavaro area near the Occidental Punta Cana resort and the owner Debbie is very responsive to inquiries or requests. They prefer you pay cash or via PayPal since the country adds another 28% ibis tax (website states 18%) to your excursion cost. I appreciated her transparency with this.
We chose the half-day Bahahibe excursion. Yohan was our driver transporting us from the hotel to the dive shop (Scuba Fun) near the dock from where we took off. This dive shop manages all the gear/tanks and boat operations for our excursion.
As for the actual dive experience I will give 5/5 stars to Eileen/Ilene (sorry about the spelling) from Uruguay who was our dive master. Our group consisted of my friend who is an avid diver, another guy who had close to a 1000 dives, and myself who completed his PADI certification in 2007 and took an SSI Review course 2 weeks ago(so quarry and pool dives). This was my first “real” dive in saltwater and I thank my scuba buddies and my dive master for for being patient with me. The other two divers were experienced so the dive master stuck close to me to to guide me through the dives. It was AWESOME and FANTASTIC ! ! ! Highly recommend the dive center and crew for this experience for a novice diver like me. Highly recommend.
Technical Notes:
- The boat we used had exits on each side of the stern for giant leap entries into the water.
- Ladder in the center back of the stern to enter the boat.
- Guide ropes were anchored for novice descents and ascents.
- My excursion was a 2 tank/dive half day package for about 40 minute dives each. Plenty for my first time.
- Sweet cake snacks and Coca Cola available between dives and plenary room for your own drybags/additional diving gear. No place to change until dive shop on shore.
- They will help you set up your rig if you need it.
- 1st dive was shallow (9m/29 ft) perfect to get used to water and work on your buoyancy. Corals fish and sandy bottom
- 2nd dive Atlantic Princess shipwreck (12m/39ft)- very cool and it was technical enough for me. Look out for anchors, canons, and canon balls.
翻译:Happy Dive Center 在 Occidental Punta Cana 度假村附近的 Bavaro 地区运营,店主 Debbie 对询问或要求非常敏感。他们更喜欢您支付现金或通过 PayPal 支付,因为该国会在您的旅行费用中额外征收 28% 的宜必思税(网站上规定为 18%)。我很欣赏她对此的透明度。
我们选择了为期半天的 Bahahibe 游览。 Yohan 是我们的司机,将我们从酒店运送到我们起飞的码头附近的潜水商店(Scuba Fun)。这家潜水店管理我们游览的所有装备/坦克和船只操作。
至于实际的潜水体验,我会给来自乌拉圭的 Eileen/Ilene(抱歉拼写错误)打 5/5 星,她是我们的潜水教练。我们的团队包括我的一个狂热潜水员朋友,另一个有近 1000 次潜水的人,以及我自己,他在 2007 年完成了他的 PADI 认证并在 2 周前参加了 SSI 复习课程(所以采石场和泳池潜水)。这是我第一次在海水中“真正”潜水,我感谢我的潜水伙伴和我的潜水教练对我的耐心。另外两名潜水员经验丰富,所以潜水教练靠近我,指导我完成潜水。太棒了,太棒了! ! !强烈推荐潜水中心和工作人员为像我这样的新手潜水员提供这种体验。强烈推荐。
技术说明:
- 我们使用的船在船尾的每一侧都有出口,以便巨大的飞跃进入水中。
- 梯子在船尾中央后部进入小船。
- 引导绳索被锚定用于新手下降和上升。
- 我的短途旅行是一个 2 罐/潜水半天套餐,每次潜水约 40 分钟。很多我第一次。
- 在潜水和全会间为您自己的干袋/额外潜水装备提供甜蛋糕小吃和可口可乐。在岸上的潜水商店之前没有地方可以改变。
- 如果需要,他们会帮助您设置钻机。
- 第一次潜水很浅(9 米/29 英尺),非常适合适应水和锻炼浮力。珊瑚鱼和沙底
- 第二次潜水 Atlantic Princess 沉船(12 米/39 英尺)- 非常酷,对我来说技术性足够。留意锚、大炮和炮弹。
