点评:I couldn’t recommend Pisces Diving Sodwana Bay enough! Frankly, I don't think there are enough words to convey this amazing experience enough.
Completing my Divemaster course and internship with Pisces has been one of the most rewarding, challenging and unforgettable experiences of my life. I came into the course hoping to grow as a diver, enter the professional world of diving and gain experience, but I left with so much more: A huge amount of knowledge, confidence, practical experience, and memories that I will carry with me for a lifetime.
From day one, the entire Pisces team was incredibly supportive, encouraging and welcoming. Even when things were challenging, there was always someone there to help, encourage me and remind me that I was capable of getting through it. Safety was also always a priority. I never once felt unsafe or unsupported, and that gave me the confidence to push myself, learn from my mistakes and become a better diver.
A massive thank you to my instructor, Gus, who is genuinely one of the best instructors I have ever had the privilege of learning from. Gus is incredibly patient, kind and knowledgeable, but what really sets him apart is the way he teaches. He explains things clearly, demonstrates everything exceptionally well and, most importantly, makes sure you truly understand why you are doing something, rather than simply teaching you to follow a procedure. He engages with is all his students and knows when to be patient, when to challenge you and when to push you outside your comfort zone. He always pushed me to get the absolute best out of myself, while making sure I was doing it safely and confidently. I genuinely could not have asked for a better instructor to guide me through this journey.
I also have to thank Louis, whose knowledge and experience were invaluable throughout my training. There is so much to learn beyond simply becoming a qualified Divemaster, and Louis was incredibly generous with his knowledge and experience. I learned so much from him about diving, the industry, Sodwana, the ocean and what it really means to work as a professional diver. His experience added an enormous amount of value to my training.
And Naide deserves a huge thank you aswell! She was an absolute lifesaver throughout the course, making sure I had all my “ducks in a row” and that my paperwork, administration and requirements were all taken care of. She kept me informed, organised and up to date throughout the process, while also being incredibly supportive and encouraging. I learnt an enormous amount about hospitality and administration from her purely from witnessing her work.
What makes Pisces so special is the people, it feels like home away from home. They genuinely want you to succeed. They challenge you, support you, teach you and celebrate your progress and successes with you, and when you fall they help you back up. There were definitely difficult moments along the way, but the team always made me feel like it was possible, and ultimately, it was!
I am incredibly proud to say that I am now a Divemaster, and I know that the diver and professional I am today and strive to be is largely because of the people who invested their time, knowledge and energy into me during this journey.
If you are considering doing your Divemaster course, I honestly wouldn’t recommend anywhere else. Pisces is the place to do it. The training, experience, knowledge, safety and, above all, the people are exceptional.
Thank you to the entire Pisces team for an unforgettable chapter of my life.!!
100/10. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
翻译:我极力推荐Pisces Diving Sodwana Bay!说实话,我觉得无论用多少言语都难以充分表达这段绝妙的体验。
在Pisces完成我的潜水长课程及实习,是我人生中最有意义、最具挑战性也最难以忘怀的经历之一。当初参加课程时,我只是希望能提升自己的潜水技能、踏入专业的潜水行业并积累经验;但离开时,我收获的远不止这些:大量的专业知识、满满的自信以及丰富的实践经验。这些经历与回忆将伴随我一生。
从第一天起,整个双鱼座团队的成员都给予了我极大的支持、鼓励与接纳。即便在遇到困难时,也总有人伸出援手,鼓励我并提醒我:我完全有能力克服难关。安全也始终被置于首位。我从未有过任何不安或觉得孤立无援的感觉,这种安全感让我更有信心挑战自我、从错误中吸取教训,进而成为一名更优秀的潜水员。我要衷心感谢我的教练Gus——他绝对是我有幸跟随学习过的最优秀的教练之一。Gus极其耐心、友善且知识渊博,而真正让他与众不同的则是他的教学方式。他讲解清晰明了,示范也做得非常出色;最重要的是,他会确保你真正理解自己为什么要做这件事,而不仅仅是教你照着步骤去操作而已。他与每一位学生都保持良好互动,清楚何时该耐心引导,何时该给予挑战,又何时该促使学生走出舒适区。他总是激励我发挥出自己最大的潜力,同时确保我能在安全且自信的状态下做到这一点。说真的,我实在找不到比他更优秀的导师来引领我完成这段历程了。
我还要感谢路易斯,他的学识与经验在我的整个培训过程中发挥了不可估量的作用。要成为一名合格的潜水长,需要学习的东西远不止这些,而路易斯非常慷慨地分享了自己的知识与经验。我从他那里学到了大量关于潜水、潜水行业、索德瓦纳湾、海洋,以及作为一名专业潜水员究竟意味着什么的知识。他的经验为我的培训增添了巨大价值。
还有,奈德也值得我们深深致谢!在整个培训过程中,她简直就是我们的救星啊。确保我的一切都安排妥当——所有的文书工作、行政事宜以及各种要求都处理完毕。在整个过程中,她始终让我保持信息畅通、井然有序且随时掌握最新情况,同时给予了我极大的支持与鼓励。仅仅通过观察她的工作方式,我就学到了大量关于酒店管理与行政事务的知识。
双鱼座之所以如此特别,就是因为这里的人。这里就像另一个家一般。他们真心希望你能取得成功。他们也会激励你、考验你。他们支持你、教导你,与你一同庆祝你的进步与成功;当你跌倒时,他们又扶你起身。在这段旅程中确实遇到过不少艰难时刻,但团队始终让我相信一切皆有可能——而最终,梦想真的实现了!
我能成为一名潜水长,对此感到无比自豪。我深知,如今的自己能成为一名优秀的潜水员及专业人士,很大程度上要归功于那些在这段历程中为我倾注时间、知识与精力的每一个人。如果你正考虑参加潜水长课程,说实话我绝不推荐其他任何地方。Pisces才是最佳之选。这里的培训、实践机会、专业知识、安全保障,最重要的是这里的人,全都无可挑剔。
感谢Pisces的全体团队,为我的人生留下了这段难忘的回忆!!
满分100分。我绝对会毫不犹豫地再参加一次。
