点评:I did the TDI sidemount course at TDS Bonaire and it was really very good. The course offered by TDS diving goes far beyond the standard TDI sidemount course due to their cooperation with Under the Jungle in Mexico. I have already made some small steps into technical diving and I wanted to extend the backmount experience with sidemount. The course is a four day program, packed with a lot of theory, coming from top notch cave diving experience, combined with very methodical excercises during the diving session. Even though it contains a lot of information and a lot of new skills to acquire and you need to put in the effort, the way it is built up, step by step, never made me feel overwhelmed. This is for a large part due to the instructor owner Zack and Justin who assisted him during the course, who had a very clear and calm way of explaining topics and are very clearly very knowledgeable; but never dogmatic, there was not one right way to do something, it was mostly a certain way had benefits over others in particular situations and vice versa. If you are in for insignificant specialty certificates, then this is probably not the place for you; but if you really want to learn a lot about serious diving and don’t mind putting in the effort and having a great time in nice company with a great sense of achievement at the end of the course than TDS diving on Bonaire is definitely the place to go.
翻译:我在 TDS Bonaire 参加了 TDI 侧挂课程,感觉非常好。由于与墨西哥 Under the Jungle 合作,TDS 潜水提供的课程远远超出了标准的 TDI 侧挂课程。我已经在技术潜水方面取得了一些小进步,我想通过侧挂来延长背挂体验。该课程为期四天,包含大量理论知识,来自顶级洞穴潜水经验,并在潜水期间结合非常有条理的练习。尽管它包含大量信息和许多需要掌握的新技能,并且需要付出努力,但它一步一步建立起来的方式从未让我感到不知所措。这在很大程度上要归功于教练老板 Zack 和在课程期间协助他的 Justin,他们以非常清晰和冷静的方式解释主题,并且非常有知识;但从不教条,做某事没有一种正确的方法,主要是某种方法在特定情况下比其他方法更有优势,反之亦然。如果您只是为了获得不重要的专业证书,那么这里可能不适合您;但如果您真的想学习很多关于严肃潜水的知识,并且不介意付出努力并在课程结束时与好朋友一起度过美好时光并获得巨大的成就感,那么博内尔岛的 TDS 潜水绝对是您的最佳选择。
