点评:I went to dive Fakarava's south pass/wall of sharks with Topdive yesterday with Dennis as guide. The group was small (6 including Dennis) and the two dives were simply incredible. It's a drift dive and we passed through the largest gathering of sharks that I've ever dived with (literally hundreds, just like the photos) and didn't see any other divers during either 50 minute session. During the drifts we would hold on to a rock and watch the sharks gliding in the current right next to us, and on the second dive the sharks and some HUGE tunas (yellowfins, doggies and skipjacks) were hunting a school of fish. Simply incredible.
I couldn't recommend Topdive enough as a dive outfit. It was all very professional and very well organised, and everyone we met working there were just great and real water enthusiasts. We booked a few days before and they sent us a whatsapp reminding us of all the details the evening before the dive, and when we showed up everything was ready to go. Dennis was awesome and we felt in very safe hands with him - he was super diligent as a guide checking everyone in the group was ok and checking air etc, but also relaxed and was constantly pointing out things the group might miss. We finished the two dives with an incredible lunch (literally the best poisson cru we've had since arriving in Polynesia - the chef made the coconut milk fresh that morning!) on a beach with a blacktip reef shark nursery, with a dozen or so blacktips less than a foot long patrolling the shallows.
Finally, I live on a boat and currently have some mechanical issues, and Sebastian and his wife (who I think manage the school) went to great lengths to try and help out.
The point being that this is a great group of people who care about you having a good time and you should go dive with them!
Thank you Topdive!
翻译:昨天我跟随Topdive潜水公司去法卡拉瓦岛南侧通道/鲨鱼墙潜水,Dennis担任向导。潜水团规模不大(包括Dennis在内一共6人),但两次潜水体验都令人惊艳。这是一次放流潜水,我们遇到了我潜水以来遇到的最大规模的鲨鱼群(真的有几百条,就像照片里的那样),而且在两次50分钟的潜水过程中都没有看到其他潜水员。放流期间,我们会扶着一块岩石,看着鲨鱼在我们旁边的水流中游动。第二次潜水时,鲨鱼和一些巨大的金枪鱼(黄鳍金枪鱼、狗头金枪鱼和鲣鱼)正在捕食一群鱼。简直太不可思议了。
我强烈推荐Topdive潜水公司。他们非常专业,组织有序,我们遇到的每个人都是真正的水上爱好者,非常棒。我们提前几天预订了,潜水前一天晚上他们就给我们发了WhatsApp,提醒我们所有细节。当我们到达时,一切都准备就绪。 Dennis 太棒了,和他在一起我们感觉非常安全——作为向导,他非常勤奋,会检查团队中每个人是否安好,检查空气等等,但同时又很放松,并不断指出团队可能遗漏的地方。我们完成了两次潜水,并在一处黑鳍礁鲨育苗场的海滩上享用了一顿丰盛的午餐(简直是我们抵达波利尼西亚以来吃到的最棒的生鱼片——厨师那天早上做的椰奶是新鲜的!),午餐非常美味。浅滩处有十几条不到一英尺长的黑鳍礁鲨在巡逻。
最后,我住在船上,目前遇到了一些机械故障,Sebastian 和他的妻子(我认为是学校的管理者)竭尽全力地提供帮助。
重点是,这是一群很棒的人,他们关心你玩得开心,你应该和他们一起潜水!
谢谢 Topdive!
