点评:How bad can bad be? Try the Thorfinn. My wife and I have been diving regularly off Liveaboards for a couple of decades all over the world. The Thorfinn is one we will remember forever. But not for the right reasons. Inedible food (no cook on board, the engineer tried to cook but failed) until our friend took over the cooking. Dirty and badly maintained ship. Hopelessly understaffed (in most boats there are 15 to 20 crew, on Thorfinn there were exactly four besides the Captain who does practically nothing). Captain Lance shouts at this poor crew in front of guests and blames everything on others. Everything is in a sad state of decay. Captain Lance knows the wrecks but his hearing is going and he really should have retired many years ago as should this sad old diving platform (cannot call it a boat as it cannot move and is not sea worthy). The diving was good but mainly because we were a group of mainly technical diving instructors so could manage ourselves underwater. When it rained all the outside areas leaked even though these are supposed to be covered areas. If you like to experience "interesting" smells in the places you stay then you will be delighted by the rancid smells this boat gives off. Our room was particularly "interesting". Our room was not serviced until we asked and even then the Captain insisted it had been done and only backed down when presented with evidence (and then blamed his poor, understaffed team). This operation would not pass basic health and safety standards in most parts of the world. It seems standards are a little different in Truk. My advice, go to Truk, thrill in the wonderful diving, do not stay on the Thorfinn.
翻译:到底有多糟糕?试试“托尔芬号”吧。我和妻子二十多年来一直定期参加船宿潜水,足迹遍布世界各地。“托尔芬号”的经历我们永远难忘,但并非出于好的原因。船上的食物难以下咽(船上没有厨师,轮机长尝试做饭但失败了),直到我们的朋友接手烹饪才有所改善。船体肮脏不堪,维护极差。人手严重不足(大多数船只都有15到20名船员,“托尔芬号”除了几乎什么都不做的船长外,只有四个人)。船长兰斯当着客人的面冲着可怜的船员大吼大叫,把所有责任都推卸给别人。一切都破败不堪,令人痛心。兰斯船长熟悉沉船,但他的听力已经衰退,他本该多年前就退休了,就像这艘破旧的潜水平台(根本不能称之为船,因为它无法移动,也不适合航行)一样。潜水体验还不错,但这主要是因为我们是一群技术潜水教练,所以水下活动比较自如。下雨时,所有室外区域都会漏水,即使这些区域本应有遮盖。如果您喜欢体验住宿地点“奇特”的气味,那么这艘船散发的腐臭味一定会让您“欣喜若狂”。我们的房间尤其“奇特”。直到我们要求,房间才有人打扫,即便如此,船长仍然坚持说已经打扫过了,直到我们拿出证据后才承认(然后又把责任推卸给他那人手不足的团队)。这样的运营在世界大多数地方都达不到基本的健康和安全标准。看来特鲁克的标准有点不一样。我的建议是,去特鲁克,尽情享受精彩的潜水,千万别住在“托尔芬号”上。
