点评:You won't find a dive shop that is more communicative and thorough when making an advance booking online. Nor will you find a dive shop where every single person is over-the-top friendly and focused on providing fantastic customer service. Top that off with an outstanding level of professional instruction with a focus on safety and Bocas Pirates should be your choice for diving here!
Mey and Margarida handled everything to get me booked for my Advanced Open Water certification course. They were always quick to respond to emails and made sure I had all the documentation forms submitted before I arrived.
I visited the shop the day before my course was set to begin and met Alex who was just super friendly and upbeat.
I also met Marianna who gave me a tour of the shop and is, I learned, a Dive Master in training. She is beyond delightful! And as it turned out, she accompanied me on several of my training dives. I learned several new things from her and was incredibly impressed with her expertise. If I lived in Bocas I would definitely take her yoga and ukulele classes! (When we were chatting about random things she also asked me a very wise, unique question that I will never forget!)
Francesco. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this man. He was the lead instructor for another student and me and was one hundred percent engaged in everything we did. From reviewing coursework and discussing various diving topics to gear setup and in-water procedures, Francesco was truly committed to making us better divers. As an added bonus, he speaks Spanish very distinctly and precisely which allowed me to understand him y mejorar mi español.
After finishing the course, I also did a fun two tank dive with Stan. He is a very cool young man from the Netherlands and I learned several new things from him. He was very thorough in his briefings and helped us spot some interesting things in very low visibility water. He also got a great video of me on my camera at a wreck site. Thanks for showing us the jellyfish, Stan!
I could go on about the other staff that I met, but you get the picture. They are all fantastic!
翻译:你找不到哪家潜水店能像他们这样,在网上提前预订时沟通细致又周到。你也找不到哪家潜水店的每一位员工都极其友善,并且一心致力于提供卓越的客户服务。再加上他们以安全为核心、水准超群的专业教学,Bocas Pirates绝对是你在当地进行潜水活动的首选之地!
Mey和Margarida帮我安排好了高级开放水域潜水认证课程的相关事宜。他们总是迅速回复我的邮件,并确保我在抵达前提交了所有必要的文件。
课程开始的前一天,我去了一趟店里,见到了亚历克斯。他非常友善且乐观开朗。
我还遇到了玛丽安娜,她带我参观了整个店铺。后来我得知,她正在接受潜水长培训。她真的超级可爱!后来,她还陪我完成了几次训练潜水。我从她那里学到了很多新东西,她的专业水平让我钦佩至极。如果我住在博卡斯,我一定会报名参加她的瑜伽和尤克里里课程!(在我们闲聊时,她还问了我一个非常睿智且独特的问题,我永远都不会忘记!)
弗朗西斯科。实在找不到足够的褒义词来形容这个人。他是我和另一位学员的主教练,对我们做的每一件事都全情投入。从复习课程内容、探讨各类潜水话题,到潜水装备的组装以及水中操作流程,Francesco真的尽心尽力地帮助我们成为更优秀的潜水员。另外,他的西班牙语发音清晰准确,这让我能够更好地理解他,同时也提升了我的西班牙语水平。
课程结束后,我还和Stan一起进行了一次有趣的双瓶潜水。他是一位来自荷兰的很酷的年轻人,我从他身上学到了不少新知识。他在讲解时非常细致入微,还帮我们在能见度极低的水域中发现了一些有趣的事物。他还用我的相机在沉船处拍到了很棒的视频。斯坦,谢谢你带我们见识水母!
其他工作人员也都很出色,我本可以继续细说,但想必你也能想象得到——他们全都是棒极了的人!
