点评:I participated in a guided scuba dive at Goat Island in a group of six diver, including the dive master. The rented full equipment, excluding mask, fins and computer, was of very good quality. The pre-dive prep. was thorough and van transportation to dive site was offered. The shore entry was done on a public beach and surface swimming of approx. 100m was required.
The dive around the small island was shallow (max. 9m) and visibility was approx. 5-6m. Kelp covered rocks and small patches of course sand bottom dominated the entire area, offering ample hiding for small fish and other fauna. Continuous swell made search for photo objects difficult and our guide/dive master maintained a steady finning pace, further lessening opportunities for photography. Other than a few curious snappers, I saw no pelagic fish, mollusks, crustaceans or other wildlife during the dive. Although dive site conditions regularly change everywhere, and can never be guaranteed, the dive was disappointing in light of the advertised panel of resident species at the marine reserve.
My reason for the rating is based on the guide’s failure to recognize clients’ interest in photography, to slow down and look more closely for visual interest.
翻译:我参加了山羊岛的一次有导游带领的水肺潜水,潜水员包括潜水教练在内共有六名潜水员。租用的全套设备(不包括面罩、脚蹼和电脑)质量非常好。潜水前的准备工作非常周到,还提供面包车接送服务,可到达潜水地点。进入岸边是在公共海滩,需要在水面游泳约 100 米。
小岛周围的潜水很浅(最多 9 米),能见度约为 5-6 米。整个区域都是覆盖着海藻的岩石和小块的粗沙海底,为小鱼和其他动物提供了充足的藏身之处。持续的海浪使得寻找拍摄对象变得困难,我们的导游/潜水教练保持着稳定的划水速度,进一步减少了拍摄的机会。除了几只好奇的鲷鱼外,我在潜水期间没有看到远洋鱼类、软体动物、甲壳类动物或其他野生动物。尽管潜水地点的条件随处可见,而且永远无法保证,但考虑到海洋保护区内宣传的常驻物种,这次潜水还是令人失望。
我给出这个评级的原因是导游未能认识到客户对摄影的兴趣,未能放慢速度并仔细观察视觉兴趣。
