点评:Having completed our PADI Open Water qualification with Gold Coast Dive Adventures back in 2022, it was an absolute pleasure to return four years later to complete our Advanced Open Water Diver qualification. We live in London, so being able to come back to GCDA and continue our diving journey with the same team made it feel particularly special.
It was lovely to see Seb and Harry again, and Jen was absolutely brilliant as our instructor. She was incredibly engaging and somehow made everyone feel as though they were getting one-to-one attention, even though we were diving as a group. Her instructions were always clear and calm, and her enthusiasm for seeing us progress made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
We came away having learnt a huge amount and even more enthusiastic about continuing our diving.
What really stands out about GCDA is the sense of community. Having dived with other operators and at other locations, it’s something we particularly notice here. You very quickly feel like part of the club rather than simply someone who has booked a course, and that friendliness extends to the other divers too. We’ve even joined the GCDA Facebook group so we can stay connected while we’re back in London.
Communication before and after the dives was spot on. We were never bombarded with messages, but always knew how to get in touch, and responses were consistently quick and friendly.
The little touches make a difference too, with cake and hot drinks between dives and BBQ sausages on our return!
A huge thank you to Jen, Seb, Harry and everyone at GCDA for making us feel so welcome again. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed both experiences and will definitely be back.
翻译:2022年,我们通过黄金海岸潜水探险中心获得了PADI开放水域潜水证。四年后,能再次回到这里完成进阶开放水域潜水证的考核,对我们来说真是莫大的荣幸。我们住在伦敦,能够重返GCDA并与同一批教练一起继续我们的潜水之旅,这种感觉格外特别。
能再次见到塞布和哈里真是太开心了,而我们的教练珍也表现得极其出色。她极具魅力,尽管我们是以团队形式潜水,但她却能让每个人都感觉到自己得到了一对一的关注。她的指令总是清晰而镇定,而她对我们进步的热切期待更让整个体验变得格外愉快。
这次潜水让我们学到了很多知识,也让我们对继续学习潜水充满了热情。
GCDA最出众的地方就在于其浓厚的社群氛围。我曾与其他机构合作、也在其他地方潜过水。这是我们在这里特别能感受到的一点:你很快就会觉得自己是这个俱乐部的一员,而不仅仅是来报名课程的学员。这种友好氛围也体现在其他潜水员身上。我们甚至还加入了GCDA的Facebook群组,这样回到伦敦后也能保持联系。
潜水前后的沟通也做得非常出色。我们并没有收到过多烦人的消息,但始终知道该如何联系对方,而且回复都既迅速又友善。那些贴心的小细节也起到了重要作用:潜水间隙有蛋糕和热饮供应,返回时还有烧烤香肠可以品尝!
衷心感谢Jen、Seb、Harry以及GCDA的所有工作人员,是你们让我们再次感受到宾至如归的体验。我们非常享受这两次活动,以后一定还会再来!
