点评:We sailed to Fakarava via the Windstar Breeze and stopped in Fakarava on April 18th. I’m PADI advanced certified, my husband is Master diver, but I’m a nervous diver and only had 4 dives in the past year-the month prior to this trip. I was VERY nervous about the current and the advanced nature of the dive, so I wanted a private guide. Windstar would not tell us what company they use, so we booked independently through O2 Fakarava. It’s the most we’ve spent on 2 tanks but was worth every penny. They picked us up at the tender dock. 12 min ride to the North Pass. 1st dive was on the reef and it was amazing! Large Wrasse, sharks, beautiful fish…no appreciable current. Served yummy warm cinnamon tea and coffee cake during the surface interval and then we dove the pass during slack tide. We had a regulator issue so had to surface to change out (our regulator from home). Theo did a great job in what I think was a little bit of a scary situation. Went down again to see a carpet of sharks — so many! Current got stronger as the dive went on and at the end, I didn’t love it - but having Theo there made me comfortable. The water was warm (84 degrees) - I get cold usually - but in a 3mm I was super warm.
Theo speaks English very well, the whole crew was super nice/helpful, their rigid zodiac boat was comfortable and while the there were waves in the lagoon I was never queasy. I HIGHLY recommend O2 Fakarava and I’m so happy I was able to enjoy this fantastic location.
翻译:我们乘坐Windstar Breeze号邮轮前往法卡拉瓦,并于4月18日抵达。我持有PADI进阶潜水员证书,我丈夫是PADI名仕潜水员,但我潜水比较紧张,过去一年只潜了4次——也就是这次旅行前一个月。我对水流和这次潜水的难度非常担心,所以想请一位私人潜水向导。Windstar不愿透露他们合作的公司,所以我们通过O2 Fakarava独立预订了服务。这是我们两次潜水花费最多的一次,但绝对物有所值。他们到接驳船码头接我们,12分钟就到了北通道。第一次潜水是在珊瑚礁,真是太棒了!看到了大型隆头鱼、鲨鱼和各种美丽的鱼类……几乎没有水流。在水面休息期间,他们提供了美味的热肉桂茶和咖啡蛋糕,然后我们在潮汐平缓期潜入了通道。我们的呼吸调节器出了点问题,所以不得不浮出水面更换(我们用的是从家里带来的调节器)。我觉得当时情况有点吓人,但Theo做得非常棒。我们再次下潜,看到了成群的鲨鱼——真的好多!随着潜水的进行,水流越来越强,最后我感觉有点不舒服——但有Theo在身边,我感觉很安心。水温很暖和(84华氏度),我平时很怕冷,但穿着3毫米的潜水服感觉非常暖和。
Theo的英语说得很好,所有船员都非常友善热情,他们的硬壳橡皮艇也很舒适,虽然泻湖里有波浪,但我一点也不觉得晕船。我强烈推荐O2 Fakarava,很高兴能有机会体验这个绝佳的潜水地点。
