点评:We spent the day diving with Chania Diving Center. We contracted with a tour company near Heraklion who drove us to and from Souda Bay. I found Chania Diving Center to be safe and professional. We had some challenges, as first they didn’t have yoke values on their tanks, nor did they have DIN to yoke adapters. Then, they had to find tools to switch hoses from our regulators to theirs (for our computers). Our plan was only to rent tannks and weights, but we ended up with a couple of their regulators too. They basically work out of boats and a large SCUBA van with all their tanks and equipment which waits at the pier while you dive. Our two dive leaders were calm, safe, patient and professional. We had 8 divers (+2 staff) of wide-ranging experience diving the submarine Cave of Elephants and then the wreck of the Steamer "MINNEWASKA.” I didn’t envy the staff having a diver with 5 open water dives, who haven’t dove in 2 years to my buddy and I who have 100s of dives and just dove the day before. They were great with everyone, making the entire dive a great experience. I would certainly recommend them for this dive. We contracted for two single tank dives. The first was to the submarine Cave of Elephants is located in Drepano area of Akrotiri, in Chania prefecture and out of Souda Bay. I liken the cave dive (which is not a true cave, but really a cavern, to the Blue Hole in Belize. It’s a fantastic dive that every diver should experience (but not something you want to do many times). The second dive was the wreck of the Steamer "MINNEWASKA", Marathi Souda. She sank after a mine explosion on November 26, 1916. Its really a wreck of a wreck with lots of fish and nidibranch life. Their English was great (as our Greek is horrible) as we didn’t have any issues communicating above or below water.
翻译:我们花了一天时间在 Chania 潜水中心潜水。我们与伊拉克利翁附近的一家旅游公司签约,他们开车带我们往返苏达湾。我发现 Chania 潜水中心既安全又专业。我们遇到了一些挑战,因为首先他们的气瓶上没有轭式压力表,也没有 DIN 到轭式适配器。然后,他们不得不寻找工具将软管从我们的调节器切换到他们的调节器(用于我们的电脑)。我们的计划只是租用气瓶和配重,但最后我们也租用了他们的几个调节器。他们基本上是在船上和一辆大型 SCUBA 货车上工作,货车上载着他们所有的气瓶和设备,在你潜水时,货车就在码头等候。我们的两位潜水领队冷静、安全、耐心和专业。我们有 8 名潜水员(+2 名工作人员),他们拥有丰富的潜水经验,曾潜入过潜艇“大象洞”,然后潜入了蒸汽船“MINNEWASKA”的沉船。我并不羡慕工作人员有一位潜水员,他有 5 次开放水域潜水经验,但两年来从未潜水过,而我和我的伙伴有 100 多次潜水经验,前一天才刚刚潜水。他们对每个人都很好,让整个潜水过程成为一次很棒的体验。我肯定会推荐他们来做这次潜水。我们签约了两次单人气瓶潜水。第一次是潜水艇“大象洞”,位于阿克罗蒂里的 Drepano 地区,在哈尼亚州,在苏达湾外。我把洞穴潜水(不是真正的洞穴,而是一个真正的洞穴)比作伯利兹的蓝洞。这是每个潜水员都应该体验的一次奇妙的潜水(但不是你想多次做的事情)。第二次潜水是蒸汽船“MINNEWASKA”的残骸,Marathi Souda。她在 1916 年 11 月 26 日的一次水雷爆炸后沉没。这是一艘真正的沉船,里面有很多鱼和尼迪鳃类生物。他们的英语很棒(我们的希腊语很糟糕),因为我们在水上和水下交流没有任何问题。
