点评:Awequatic got me in last minute for two morning dives ($60 each) during the ramp up to the busy season. I popped into the office the day before to get fitted for equipment and fill in basic paperwork. They even made me a proper espresso, which I drank while chatting with my guide/dive buddy Ahmad who was super chill and knowledgable and took the time to answer many questions about the diving and the area and Rasdhoo in general.
Dive time and boat location was shared in a WhatsApp group the night before. The boat, crew, and equipment were all solid and in great shape. BCD looked new, which is rare at dive shops. Diving sites are nearby so no stress about rushing to places and back.
Diving locations were exceptional. Two awesome drift dives (my favorite). Saw a school of Mobula rays (rare) and many grey and white tip sharks. Second dive had many more grey sharks, marble ray, and one massive Manta Ray come straight at me.
Ahmad provided a flawless experience. Perfect dives. Excellent marine life scouting. Great sighting recap and Q&A afterwards. Probably my smoothest dives in the last year.
Lastly I learned this is a local run shop. Good to support the island. I also enjoyed hearing about how they approach diving (don’t touch / don’t feed), which is the right way and I’m glad they don’t succumb to tourists looking to disturb wildlife for a photo.
翻译:在旺季来临前的最后时刻,Awequatic帮我安排了两次上午的潜水(每次60美元)。我提前一天去了他们的办公室,试穿了装备,填写了一些基本表格。他们甚至还给我做了杯正宗的意式浓缩咖啡,我一边喝一边和我的向导/潜伴Ahmad聊天。Ahmad非常随和,知识渊博,耐心解答了我关于潜水、潜水区域以及拉斯杜岛(Rasdhoo)的各种问题。
潜水时间和船只位置在前一天晚上通过WhatsApp群聊告知。船只、船员和装备都状态良好。BCD看起来很新,这在潜水店里很少见。潜点就在附近,所以不用担心赶路。
潜水地点非常棒。两次精彩的放流潜水(我最喜欢的)。我看到了一群蝠鲼(很罕见),还有许多灰鲨和白鳍鲨。第二次潜水,我看到了更多的灰鲨、大理石纹鳐,还有一条巨大的蝠鲼径直朝我游来。
Ahmad提供了一次完美无瑕的体验。完美的潜水体验。精彩的海洋生物巡礼。潜水后的总结和问答环节也很棒。这可能是我过去一年中最顺利的潜水经历。
最后,我了解到这是一家当地人经营的潜水店。支持岛上居民真是太好了。我还很高兴听到他们分享的潜水理念(不触摸/不喂食),这才是正确的做法,我很高兴他们没有屈服于那些为了拍照而打扰野生动物的游客。
