点评: Finished my PADI open-water diver course with dive master Wade. Wade was so great. Patient, kind and understanding. Wade described and demonstrated everything so well before I did the skill. He also let me repeat any skill I "passed" but wanted to try repeatedly until I was comfortable.
2nd day was in the ocean and 5 minutes into our first dive I had a panic attack. We surfaced and he calmed me and encouraged me until I was ready. Then I had 2 days of incredible dives. Culminating with a ride on "Seabiscuit" and my open-water diver certification. I'm not sure I would have made it past the first 5 minutes without Wade. This was a lifetime goal.
Between dives I spoke with Andy who has 1000's of dives around the world and his knowledge was inspiring. My wife and I went snorkeling before this at the Carambola beach location and Jess set us up and explained everything we should do and see.
I can't say enough about the great experiences we had with Laura and Mark's Sweet Bottom crew.
翻译:在潜水教练Wade的指导下完成了我的PADI开放水域潜水员课程。Wade非常棒,耐心、友善、善解人意。在我练习技巧之前,Wade把所有步骤都讲解和演示得非常到位。他还允许我重复那些我“通过”但想反复尝试的技巧,直到我感觉舒适为止。
第二天是在海里,第一次潜水才五分钟,我就感到一阵恐慌。我们浮出水面后,他安抚我,鼓励我,直到我准备好。之后,我进行了两天精彩的潜水体验。最后,我乘坐了“奔腾年代”号游轮,并获得了开放水域潜水员证书。如果没有Wade,我都不确定自己能否坚持过最初的五分钟。这曾是我毕生的目标。
潜水间隙,我和Andy聊了聊,他拥有数千次全球潜水经验,他的知识令人深受启发。在此之前,我和妻子在杨桃海滩浮潜,Jess为我们安排了一切,并解释了我们应该做的事情和应该参观的地方。
我无法用言语表达我们与 Laura 和 Mark 的 Sweet Bottom 团队合作的美好经历。
