点评:Would have loved to give this dive shop 5 stars because as an overall they did organize 2 days of private diving with a great guide and an ok boat (for the Philippines). The let downs were
1) despite chartering a private boat, at a pretty high price, they made no arrangements for lunch or snacks despite being a full day outing. It was at the last minute, just before leaving that they quickly arranged lunch but this meant forgotten cutlery, no snacks and a general disorganization.
2) when booking we asked if we can make payment and they said not to worry about it, however at the end of the second day of diving, straight off the boat, they demanded payment and of course, since we were diving the whole day we did not carry a large amount of cash or other forms of payment. Despite knowing where we were staying, their solution was to hold our group "captive" while one of us rushed to the hotel to get a form of payment and bring it back to release "the prisoners".
This could have been handled a lot more professionally by taking payment when it was offered or sending one of their team with us to our hotel for us to make payment there or allowing us to come the next day to make payment.
I do understand there is a trust issue with the third option, however, they didn't seem to have a problem with this for day 1. Having said this, they could have chosen any other polite option to solve this.
We were on a tiny island where everybody knows each other.

1)虽然包了私人船,价格也挺高,但他们竟然没有安排午餐和零食,毕竟是全天潜水。直到临出发前最后一刻,他们才匆忙安排了午餐,但这意味着餐具忘了带,零食也没带,整个潜水过程乱糟糟的。
2)预订时我们问他们是否可以付款,他们说不用担心,然而第二天潜水结束,一下船他们就要求付款。当然,因为我们潜水了一整天,所以没带太多现金或其他付款方式。虽然他们知道我们住在哪里,但他们的解决办法是把我们“囚禁”起来,让我们其中一个人赶紧去酒店取钱,然后带回去“释放”这些“囚犯”。
这个问题本来可以更专业地处理,比如在对方提出付款时就收款,或者派一名团队成员陪我们去酒店付款,或者允许我们第二天再来付款。
我理解第三种选择存在信任问题,但是,他们第一天似乎对此没有意见。话虽如此,他们本可以选择其他任何礼貌的方式来解决这个问题。
我们当时在一个小岛上,每个人都互相认识。
