Incredible and meaningful, a great way to contribute to helping the oceans
Innoceana - Costa Rica的点评
点评:We did a one week fish and elasmobranch expedition with MCEC in July 2023. This was an incredibly meaningful and educational experience that I would recommend to all scuba divers. I have been diving since 2015 with about 70 dives before going on this trip, and it was not until this trip, that I really understood the significance of the many creatures that I have enjoyed seeing while diving. We learned not just about the animals, we also learned about how they fit into the larger picture of the ecosystem and impact the marine environment and how marine biologists do their studies and research. We also got to spend time with a local indigenous people and also visit an animal sanctuary, so this trip is for you if you are an animal lover. The team at MCEC is so passionate about their mission and this comes through in everything. They are actual marine biologists who are with you all the time to answer all your questions and guide your dives! This made the diving more meaningful and I now feel I understand so much more of what I've been seeing underwater. The food was also great - vegan and so good for the environment and for our heath. The non-vegans all thought it tasted great, too. The accommodations were clean and simple - you get your own bathroom in the rooms. This is also a great way to contribute to helping the oceans, as they are a nonprofit organization. And lastly, if you are interested in doing a scuba certification, they also offer PADI certification. My brother did his pool session with them and they were very helpful for him even though he had some anxiety/mental issues. They were very nice accommodating him through the week even though he did not dive with us.
翻译:2023 年 7 月,我们与 MCEC 一起进行了为期一周的鱼类和软骨鱼类探险。这是一次非常有意义且具有教育意义的经历,我会推荐给所有水肺潜水员。我从 2015 年开始潜水,在这次旅行之前大约潜水了 70 次,直到这次旅行,我才真正理解了我在潜水时喜欢看到的许多生物的重要性。我们不仅了解了这些动物,还了解了它们如何融入更大的生态系统并影响海洋环境,以及海洋生物学家如何进行研究。我们还与当地土著人民共度时光,还参观了动物保护区,所以如果您是动物爱好者,那么这次旅行适合您。 MCEC 的团队对他们的使命充满热情,这体现在一切事情上。他们是真正的海洋生物学家,随时与您在一起,回答您的所有问题并指导您的潜水!这让潜水变得更有意义,我现在觉得我对水下所见的事物有了更多的了解。食物也很棒——纯素食,对环境和我们的健康都有好处。非素食主义者也都认为它味道很好。住宿干净简单——房间里有自己的浴室。这也是为帮助海洋做出贡献的好方法,因为它们是一个非营利组织。最后,如果您有兴趣获得水肺潜水认证,他们还提供 PADI 认证。我哥哥和他们一起参加了台球训练,尽管他有一些焦虑/精神问题,但他们对他很有帮助。尽管他没有和我们一起潜水,但他们在整个星期都非常友善地接待了他。
