点评:Another great experience with Buddy Dive, this time a one-day visit from a cruise ship. We made all of our arrangements in advance, and both Mariska and Karlijn took great care of everything up front including confirming our arrival a few days ahead of time. They even asked about our son and his girlfriend from our last week on the island.
Once there, divemaster Quintin was SPECTACULAR! My wife has some minor mobility issues above water and he chose shore dive sites that worked perfectly for her. He assisted her and her equipment into and out of the water, chatted like an old friend while driving to and between dive sites, and just made the day super fun.
Quintin chose Donkey Beach for our first tank. As with most Bonaire shore dive sites, it was an easy park-and-walk into the water. Plenty of sea life large and small, including two squid (our first in the wild) who graced us with an ink spurt.
Salt Pier, one of our favorite sites, was unavailable due to a ship loading salt so Quintin took us to Margate Bay - another new Bonaire site for us. Again, lots of life and color in the clearest and cleanest waters of our dive cruise.
Back at their shop in town (an easy walk from the cruise port), Mariska made sure we were packed and ready to go. We walked out their front door, I asked my wife how she was doing, and she said "Great! Those were excellent dives." That's the strongest recommendation I can give for any staff, dive shop, and island.
Buddy Dive is the best dive operation in the Caribbean, whether you're there for a day or a week or longer. We'll be back again. You should too.
翻译:与 Buddy Dive 的另一次很棒的体验,这次是从游轮上进行一日游。我们提前做好了所有安排,Mariska 和 Karlijn 都非常细心地安排了一切,包括提前几天确认我们的抵达时间。他们甚至询问了我们儿子和他上周在岛上的女朋友的情况。
到达那里后,潜水长 Quintin 表现得非常棒!我的妻子在水上有些轻微的行动不便,他为她选择了非常适合她的岸上潜水地点。他帮助她和她的设备进出水面,在开车往返潜水地点时像老朋友一样聊天,让这一天变得非常有趣。
Quintin 选择了 Donkey Beach 作为我们的第一个水箱。与大多数博内尔岛岸上潜水地点一样,停车后步行即可轻松进入水中。大大小小的海洋生物很多,包括两只鱿鱼(我们在野外第一次见到),它们向我们喷出了墨汁。
盐码头是我们最喜欢的潜水点之一,但由于一艘船在装盐,所以无法使用,所以昆汀带我们去了马盖特湾——这是我们在博内尔岛发现的另一个新潜水点。同样,在我们潜水巡游中最清澈、最干净的水域中,这里充满了生命和色彩。
回到他们镇上的商店(从游轮港口步行即可轻松抵达),玛丽丝卡确保我们收拾好行装,准备出发。我们走出他们的前门,我问妻子感觉如何,她说:“太棒了!那些潜水非常棒。”这是我对任何员工、潜水商店和岛屿最强烈的推荐。
无论您在那里待一天、一周还是更长时间,Buddy Dive 都是加勒比地区最好的潜水场所。我们会再来的。你也应该来。
