点评:I can't rate Jaki & Paul @ Blue Revival highly enough! I've dived with them on three trips now - in late 2024, June 2025 and January 2026; the first time it was just me, then I brought my own dive students along too. In addition, I've sent over a few ex-students to dive there without me. Every time has been a great experience. And I'm now organising my next trip.
Their in-house training pool is bespoke-built and the joint best I have ever used. The adjacent training room and changing facilities are great. Their equipment is very high quality, comes in a massive range of sizes, and is maintained flawlessly. And their jeepneys/minibuses and boats, both big and small, are just fabulous.
Their boat crews are the best I've ever worked with - incredibly well trained, strong & helpful, polite & caring. Blink and whatever you were just starting to think that you might need has miraculously been done. Their dive guides and in-house instructors are superb. Their boat trips are organised with superb attention to detail. I also like how they support local people groups - for example, they incorporate an island lunch into their Pamilacan Island trip and use the culinary skills of a local woman's cooperative. And my particular passion for eco-friendly diving is always supported: the boat crews love helping me haul up my trash bag at the end of a dive. (And I must say there is hardly any typical ocean trash. The waters are absolutely pristine. The main things I retrieve there are fishing line, ropes and the odd net.)
Apart from my own base in Subic Bay, I have three or four other places within the Philippines that I love to use to train students. The top criteria I look for are Dive safety, Eco-friendliness, Human-friendliness, and Value for Money. Blue Revival scores 5/5 on all four.
翻译:我对Jaki和Paul @ Blue Revival的评价再高也不为过!我已经和他们一起潜水三次了——分别在2024年底、2025年6月和2026年1月;第一次只有我一个人,后来我还带了自己的潜水学生一起去。此外,我还安排了一些以前的学生自己去那里潜水。每次都是非常棒的体验。我现在正在计划下一次的行程。
他们的内部训练泳池是专门定制的,是我用过的最好的之一。旁边的训练室和更衣室也很棒。他们的设备质量非常高,尺寸齐全,而且维护得无可挑剔。他们的吉普尼/小巴和船只,无论大小,都非常棒。
他们的船员是我合作过的最棒的——训练有素、强壮有力、乐于助人、彬彬有礼、体贴周到。你刚想到可能需要什么,他们就已经神奇地帮你搞定了。他们的潜水向导和内部教练都非常出色。他们的船游行程安排得井井有条,细节之处也考虑得非常周到。我也很欣赏他们对当地社区的支持——例如,他们在帕米拉坎岛的行程中安排了岛屿午餐,并采用了当地妇女合作社的烹饪技艺。他们对环保潜水的热情也得到了充分的支持:船员们很乐意在潜水结束后帮我把垃圾袋拉上来。(而且我必须说,这里几乎看不到任何典型的海洋垃圾。海水绝对纯净无瑕。我在那里捡到的主要垃圾是渔线、绳索和零星的渔网。)
除了我在苏比克湾的基地之外,我在菲律宾还有三四个我喜欢用来培训学生的地方。我最看重的是潜水安全、环保、人性化和性价比。Blue Revival在这四方面都获得了满分。
