GREAT DIVING! GREAT PEOPLE!!!!
Scubaqua Dive Center的点评
点评：Just back, yesterday, from 9 wonderful days scuba diving with Marieke, Mike, and the awesome crew at Scubaqua ( Anna, Timo, Noortje, Gary, Seth, Chrissy, Bart,Caro, Morgan). Made 25 great dives. Water was warm, (84 F) with nice visibility (60-80 ft). Skies were partly cloudy, with only a little rain, that never stopped us from diving. Wind was variable, a few dives were bumpy on the boat, but nothing we couldn’t easily handle, especially with all the assistance from the boat crews. Current was variable, but not even close to what I’ve seen in Cozumel over the years. All the dives were on the West side of Statia.
Like many Caribbean islands Statia was formed by volcanic activity. Lava flows into the sea created the base for the coral to grow. Interesting formations compared to the classic coral reefs in Coz, Bahamas, Cayman,
2 morning dives, with a shore surface interval in between, followed by delicious lunch boxes arranged by Marieke. Then a third dive leaving around 2:30 PM or so.
They run 2 boats, a small center console outboard, that can hold 8 comfortably, and a larger inboard, with cabin that holds maybe 14-16.
The boats are docked about a 3-4 minute ride from the shop, you have to get out of the truck, wave at the immigration folks, walk through the gated fence and get back in the truck. I called it the Caribbean fire drill. But the dock is a official border point of entry for Statia, so just smile, and enjoy the Carnival.
Something really nice about a beer, or glass of red wine after the third while sitting at the dive shop, on the beach, watching the Caribbean.
Totally relaxing.
We stayed next door at the Old Gin House, 2 minute walk from hotel to Scubaqua. Hotel bar and restaurant were nice, breakfast included in our reservation.
Marieke can arrange any shore excursions, for non divers, tours, hikes, massage, yoga. Don’t miss the custom dinner program at Quill Gardens, a boutique hotel at the foot of the volcano.

翻译：昨天刚回来，和 Marieke、Mike 以及 Scubaqua 的优秀船员（Anna、Timo、Noortje、Gary、Seth、Chrissy、Bart、Caro、Morgan）一起度过了 9 天美妙的水肺潜水时光。进行了 25 次精彩的潜水。水温 84 华氏度（29 摄氏度），能见度良好（60-80 英尺）。天空部分多云，只下了一点雨，但这并没有阻止我们潜水。风向多变，有几次潜水在船上颠簸，但我们都能轻松应对，尤其是在船员的帮助下。水流多变，但与我多年来在科苏梅尔岛看到的相比，差别甚远。所有的潜水都在斯塔提亚岛的西侧。
与许多加勒比海岛屿一样，斯塔提亚岛是由火山活动形成的。熔岩流入大海，为珊瑚的生长提供了基础。与巴哈马群岛、开曼群岛科兹岛的经典珊瑚礁相比，这里的珊瑚形态非常有趣。
早上潜水两次，中间会到岸边休息，之后会享用由 Marieke 准备的美味午餐盒。第三次潜水大约在下午 2:30 出发。
他们经营两艘船，一艘小型中控台舷外潜水艇，可舒适地容纳 8 人；另一艘更大的舷内潜水艇，带有船舱，可容纳 14-16 人。
潜水艇停靠在距离潜水店大约 3-4 分钟的路程处，你需要下车，向移民局工作人员挥手致意，穿过围栏，再回到潜水艇上。我称之为加勒比海消防演习。但码头是斯塔提亚岛的官方边境入境点，所以只需微笑，享受狂欢节就好。
第三次潜水结束后，坐在潜水店的沙滩上，欣赏加勒比海的景色，喝上一杯啤酒或红酒，真是惬意。
完全放松。
我们住在隔壁的Old Gin House，从酒店步行2分钟就能到Scubaqua。酒店的酒吧和餐厅都很不错，早餐包含在预订费里。Marieke可以安排任何岸上观光活动，适合非潜水员，包括观光、徒步、按摩和瑜伽。千万不要错过火山脚下精品酒店Quill Gardens的定制晚餐套餐。
