点评:This review is long overdue but better late than never as they say. My wife, son and I spent a week on Greater Perhentian Island in early March of this year before heading to Vietnam. I've been a certified open water diver since 2012 but it had been long enough that I knew I needed a refresher course before diving again. As luck would have it, Universal Diver was located right next door to our hotel! I stopped by on our first day on the island and met Dee and Jay and to see if it was possible for me to take a refresher course and fit in some dives after. They were both more than welcoming and accommodating and even though it was very early in the season (I had the honor of being the first of the 2026 season!), set me up with a refresher course the next morning.
Dee was my divemaster and I couldn't have asked for a nicer, knowledgeable or more patient instructor. The refresher tasks and hand signals were reviewed before getting in the water and I was able to pass and get comfortable in the water again. We dove several sites over the next few days and each time she made me feel comfortable and explain all the marine life we should keep an eye out for as well as the overall dive plan.
Universal Diver also supplied all the equipment (BCD, mask, fins, etc) I needed which was nice since I hadn't originally planned to dive on this trip. A nice plus.
Since it was very early in the season, the visibility on one day wasn't ideal but we made the best of it and Dee helped make the most of the few days I had to dive. I can know add Malaysia and the South China Sea to the list of places I've had the opportunity to dive and enjoy.
So a big, big thank you to Dee, Jay and all the staff at Universal Diver! You helped make my trip special. If you're looking for a PADI 5 Star dive shop in Malaysia, look no further than Universal Diver.
翻译:这篇评论早就该写了,不过正如俗话所说,迟到总比不到好。今年三月初,我和妻子、儿子在前往越南之前,在大停泊岛待了一周。我自2012年起就持有开放水域潜水员证书,但时间久了,我知道在再次潜水之前需要参加复习课程。幸运的是,环球潜水中心(Universal Diver)就在我们酒店隔壁!我们在岛上的第一天就去了那里,见到了迪(Dee)和杰(Jay),询问是否可以参加复习课程并在之后安排几次潜水。他们非常热情友好,尽管当时还处于潜水季初期(我很荣幸成为2026年潜水季的第一位学员!),他们还是安排我第二天早上参加了复习课程。
迪是我的潜水长,我再也找不到比她更友善、更有知识、更有耐心的教练了。在下水之前,他们复习了复习内容和手势信号,我顺利通过了考试,重新找回了在水中的舒适感。接下来的几天里,我们去了好几个潜点潜水。每次潜水前,她都让我感到很放松,并详细讲解了我们应该注意的海洋生物以及整个潜水计划。
Universal Diver 还提供了我需要的所有装备(浮力背心、面镜、脚蹼等等),这真是太好了,因为我原本并没有计划这次旅行潜水。这真是个意外之喜。
由于当时正值潜水季初期,有一天能见度不太理想,但我们尽力而为,Dee 也让我充分利用了这几天的潜水时间。现在,我又可以把马来西亚和南海添加到我潜水体验过的地方清单里了。
所以,非常非常感谢 Dee、Jay 和 Universal Diver 的所有员工!你们让我的旅程变得如此特别。如果你正在马来西亚寻找一家 PADI 五星级潜水店,Universal Diver 绝对是你的不二之选。
