点评:Just finished 11 dives over six days with Pacific Dive - and loved every one of them!
Did 9 on the President Coolidge and 2 on Million Dollar Point. Could’ve done it in less time as they offer 2 morning dives and an afternoon dive and even a night dive, but why rush it - most I did in a day was 3, only on one day, including 1 night dive on the Coolidge.
Very professional outfit and staff, all very experienced in the area - my dive masters / guides have been diving these sites for 25 years or longer!
Big shout out to Rex, Dave and Max.
(And the other two kiwi divers had Jimmy who was awesome too). Amazing knowledge of the area, super friendly and very professional and safety conscious - e.g. checking in regularly with their divers, clear comms, spare tank left at 10m in case needed for long deco stops after a deep dive (never was needed as they’re careful with bottom times), everyone on dive computers and everything else you’d expect from a good, world-class dive operation.
And Molly runs a tight ship back at the office sorting the bookings and payments and paperwork. So it didn’t matter that Jack was back in Oz for summer holidays, with Molly and Dave on deck and the boys all very well seasoned.
And for those who don’t know - everyone speaks good English in Vanuatu (and supposedly French too).
All the equipment seemed pretty new, and good brands / latest models and well-serviced. Any leaking O-rings or the like fixed on the spot in the workshop.
The wing-style BCD and double 2nd stage reg I rented were perfect every dive.
Their air tasted nice and clean - not surprisingly as their air compressor and filter etc. all looks very new and well maintained. And they have rescue board, first aid box and even an AED on site, and PLENTY of O2 on hand if anyone ever needed it as they offer mixed gas diving too. All very reassuring, but the safety track record of the area is excellent.
I’ve done a lot of wreck diving around the world including Truk Lagoon, The Solomons, The Philippines, the Red Sea, Guam, Borneo etc. - but the President Coolidge and Million Dollar Point have been high on my bucket list for years and Pacific Dive helped me tick them off in a fun and relaxed yet safe and professional way!
翻译:刚刚在六天内完成了 11 次 Pacific Dive 潜水 - 并且非常喜欢每一次潜水!
在 President Coolidge 潜水 9 次,在 Million Dollar Point 潜水 2 次。本来可以用更少的时间完成,因为他们提供 2 次早晨潜水、1 次下午潜水甚至 1 次夜间潜水,但为什么要着急呢 - 我一天最多潜水 3 次,而且只在一天内,包括在 Coolidge 潜水 1 次夜间潜水。
非常专业的装备和工作人员,都非常熟悉这个区域 - 我的潜水大师/导游已经在这些地点潜水 25 年或更长时间了!
大声感谢 Rex、Dave 和 Max。
(另外两名新西兰潜水员有 Jimmy,他也很棒)。对这个区域的了解令人惊叹,非常友好,非常专业,并且有安全意识 - 例如定期与潜水员核对,通讯清晰,备用气瓶留在 10 米处,以备深潜后长时间减压停留之用(由于他们非常注意潜水时间,所以从来都不需要),每个人都使用潜水电脑,以及您对世界一流潜水运营所期望的一切。
而 Molly 在办公室管理得非常严格,负责整理预订、付款和文书工作。所以 Jack 回澳大利亚度暑假并不重要,Molly 和 Dave 在甲板上,男孩们都非常有经验。
对于那些不知道的人来说 - 瓦努阿图的每个人都说一口流利的英语(据说法语也一样)。
所有设备看起来都很新,都是好品牌/最新型号,而且保养得很好。任何泄漏的 O 形圈或类似的东西都在车间现场修复。
我租的翼式 BCD 和双二级调节器每次潜水都很完美。
他们的空气味道清新宜人 - 这并不奇怪,因为他们的空气压缩机和过滤器等看起来都很新,保养得很好。他们现场有救援板、急救箱,甚至还有 AED,如果有人需要,他们还提供混合气体潜水,因此手头有大量的氧气。这一切都让人很放心,但该地区的安全记录非常好。
我在世界各地进行过很多沉船潜水,包括特鲁克泻湖、所罗门群岛、菲律宾、红海、关岛、婆罗洲等 - 但多年来,总统库利奇和百万美元角一直是我愿望清单上的首选,Pacific Dive 以一种有趣、轻松、安全、专业的方式帮助我实现了这些愿望!
