点评:Whenever someone would bring up diving I'd always think of those underwater grim reaper ‘STOP! DO NOT CONTINUE! GOING BEYOND THIS SIGN WILL RESULT IN DEATH’ signs. But during our visit to LUX* last year I happened to watch a presentation on diving, and the potential mantas and turtles won me over. So when we returned this year, I just had to learn how to dive.
I initially signed up for the open water course. Isa is an amazing instructor who really makes you feel at home, and is great at teaching. The course flew by and even though I was like ‘no mooring line????’ right before my second open water ocean dive, the way she taught everything made it so easy (and fun!) to pass the course and feel like I’ve never not known how to dive. After that, I did a few fun dives and decided to get my Nitrox and advanced open water certifications as well. Thanks to Dom and Isa this was, again, super easy and I’m so glad I did.
Every dive has been amazing, which is not only thanks to Sina, Tim, Yawen, Dom, and Isa, but also because of the other amazing employees on the boats who take care of literally everything. I can’t thank everyone enough. I ended the trip with 23 dives, mantas, turtles, whale sharks (well, the two whale sharks ended up being the same one but let’s pretend that wasn’t the case), eagle rays, dolphins, clownfish, stingrays, sharks, moray eels, pufferfish, octopuses, so many other animals, stunning thilas, and great memories.
If you’re reading this and aren’t sure whether you want to dive here, stop doubting and just go! You won’t regret it. The only downside is you won’t want to go anywhere else after this.
Thanks everyone for an amazing vacation, and hopefully see you next year. :)
翻译:每当有人提起潜水,我总会想起那些水下死神般的警示牌:“停!禁止继续!越过此标志必死无疑!” 但去年我们去LUX*度假时,我偶然听到一个关于潜水的讲座,那些关于蝠鲼和海龟的介绍让我彻底心动。所以今年我们再次造访时,我下定决心一定要学会潜水。
我最初报名参加了开放水域潜水课程。Isa是一位非常棒的教练,她让人感觉宾至如归,而且教学水平一流。课程很快就结束了,虽然在第二次开放水域潜水前我一度惊呼“没有系泊绳???”,但她的讲解方式让整个过程变得轻松愉快,我顺利通过了课程,感觉自己好像从未停止过潜水。之后,我又进行了几次休闲潜水,并决定再考取高氧潜水和进阶开放水域潜水员证书。多亏了Dom和Isa,这一切再次变得无比轻松,我真庆幸自己做了这个决定。
每一次潜水都精彩绝伦,这不仅要感谢Sina、Tim、Yawen、Dom和Isa,还要感谢船上其他所有出色的工作人员,他们事无巨细地照顾着一切。我真的非常感谢大家。这次旅行我一共潜水了23次,看到了蝠鲼、海龟、鲸鲨(好吧,其实两条鲸鲨是同一条,但我们就当不是吧)、鹰鳐、海豚、小丑鱼、魟鱼、鲨鱼、海鳗、河豚、章鱼,还有数不清的其他海洋生物,以及令人惊艳的海龟,留下了美好的回忆。
如果你正在读这篇文章,还在犹豫要不要来这里潜水,那就别再犹豫了,赶紧去吧!你绝对不会后悔的。唯一的缺点就是,这次之后你可能就不想去其他地方了。
感谢大家,让我度过了一个如此美好的假期,希望明年还能见到你们!:)
