点评:I’m a 49-year-old man from Denmark with a bit of a fear of diving. I’ve got a beard, making it tricky to keep water out of my mask, and when it gets in, I tend to panic.
I’m also a big guy, and when I put on all the diving gear, it can feel overwhelming around my chest, stomach, and lungs. I also have a little bit of claustrophobia, so being underwater, where I can’t simply breathe normally whenever I want to, has always made me nervous.
While on holiday in Hurghada, Egypt, my daughter was learning to dive, and the instructor, Ahmed, also helped me give it another try. He was incredibly calm, patient, and reassuring. He explained everything very clearly and took things at a pace that made me feel safe and in control. He also helped me with my mask so that very little water came in, and when it did, he showed me how to clear it without panicking. He also kept a really good eye on me underwater, and knowing that he was constantly watching over me gave me a deep sense of safety. It made a huge difference for me emotionally, because I worried a lot less down there, and it helped me stay calm and grounded the moment anxiety started to rise.
With Ahmed’s help, I managed to get down to around 4–5 meters and had an absolutely amazing experience. For some people, that might not sound like much, but for me it was a huge achievement. Diving has been a dream of mine for a long time, but honestly, I never thought I would actually be able to do it.
I’m incredibly grateful to Ahmed for helping me achieve something I didn’t think was possible for me. I can warmly recommend Ahmed to anyone who wants to dive, but especially to first-time divers or anyone who feels nervous or afraid of being underwater. He has an amazing ability to make you feel safe and comfortable, and he is extremely good at explaining everything in a calm and reassuring way.
Thank you, Ahmed, for helping me make a dream come true!
翻译:我是一名49岁的丹麦男子,有点害怕潜水。我留着胡须,这给防止水进入面镜带来了困难;一旦有水进入,我就容易惊慌失措。
我的体型也比较壮硕,穿上全套潜水装备后,胸口、腹部和肺部总会感觉格外压抑。我还有点幽闭恐惧症,因此身处水下、无法随心所欲地正常呼吸这一情况总是让我紧张不安。
在埃及赫尔格达度假期间,我的女儿正在学习跳水,教练艾哈迈德也帮助我再次尝试。他极其冷静、耐心且能给人信心。他把所有要点都解释得非常清楚,并以一种让我感到安心且能掌控局面的节奏来教学。他还帮我调整泳镜,使得进入镜内的水极少;即便有水进入,他也教我如何保持冷静并将其排出。在水下时,他也始终密切留意着我的情况。知道他始终在守护着我,这让我有一种深深的安全感。这对我的情绪状态产生了巨大影响:我在水下时不再那么担心,即便焦虑情绪开始滋生,我也能保持冷静和镇定。
在艾哈迈德的帮助下,我成功下潜到了大约4到5米的深度,经历了一次极其美妙的体验。对有些人来说,这或许不算什么,但对我来说却是巨大的成就。潜水一直是我长久以来的梦想。不过说实话,我从未想过自己真的能做到。
我非常感激艾哈迈德,是他帮助我实现了原本以为自己无法完成的事情。我衷心推荐艾哈迈德给任何想要学习潜水的人,尤其是初学者,或是那些对下水感到紧张、害怕的人。他有着令人惊叹的能力,能让人感到安心与舒适;而且他善于以平静且令人信服的方式把一切解释清楚。
谢谢你,艾哈迈德。感谢你帮我实现梦想!
