点评:We used Akumal dive center to do snorkelling and sea turtle viewing. It was a spectacular experience start to finish. The staff was extremely pleasant and kind. Lupita was our guide and she was phenomenal. We went with our 2 sons, 1 of which had never been snorkelling before and he was very nervous. Lupita was so patient and kind. She made our son feel extremely comfortable.
We also really appreciated Lupita’s professionalism and respect for the rules of Akumal and sea turtle viewing. A few times there was large groups who would gather around a turtle, Lupita would let us know we couldn’t go there, as there was too many people, or other times we had to leave a viewing because the larger tour groups would gather around a turtle we were viewing. However this did not negatively impact our experience at all, we saw plenty of turtles and sea life!
I believe the Akumal dive centre to be one of the more ethical places operating: I did not see any large groups leaving from the Akumal dive center, only small groups, keeping the ratio of guides to tourists low and they actively enforced the rules of the bay. I understand they are also one of the oldest running companies in the area.
This experience was the highlight of our vacation in Mexico.
翻译:我们选择了阿库马尔潜水中心来体验浮潜以及观赏海龟。整个过程简直棒极了。工作人员都非常友善且热情。卢皮塔是我们的向导,她表现得堪称出色。我们带着两个儿子一同前往,其中一个以前从未进行过浮潜,因此显得十分紧张。卢皮塔极有耐心且温柔体贴,让她儿子立刻放松了下来。
我们同样非常欣赏卢皮塔的专业素养,以及她对阿库马尔当地规定与海龟保护规则的严格遵守。有几次,大量游客聚集在某一只海龟周围,这时卢皮塔会告诉我们不能靠近,因为人实在太多了;还有些时候,由于大型旅游团也围到了我们正在观赏的海龟旁,我们不得不离开。不过这些情况丝毫没有影响我们的体验,我们还是看到了很多海龟和其他海洋生物!我认为阿库马尔潜水中心是业内较为恪守道德规范的运营机构:我没有看到有任何大型团队从该中心出发,只有小团体,这样就能将向导与游客的比例控制在较低水平;他们还严格执行海湾地区的各项规定。据我所知,他们也是该地区历史最悠久的潜水公司之一。
这次体验堪称我们墨西哥之行的亮点。
