点评:Mixed feelings. Weather wasn't great for our whole stay, so visibility was poor and they didn't want to travel far from the island, so not easy to see mantas or whalesharks without a 1.5 hour journey to the area. They didn't have plans to go, even though my quote included manta and whale shark dive (by the way that is one dive, not 2). The group on the boat complained, so we did go out to the area (near Radisson Blu hotel). We did see mantas, In face I had a fabulous dive, but no whale sharks.
HOWEVER.... be advised if you are lucky enough to see a whale shark, word soon gets out, if you are one of the 1st boats great, you may get a couple of minutes. But as soon as word gets out - immediately you are surrounded by up to 30 boats with 1 whaleshark. It was not nice and cruel to see others footage, so in a way I was glad we did not chase, but i would of liked to be in the area every day to perphaps get a chance to see.
Of course the dive boat is slow. Other boats are speed boats, so when they hear there is a whaleshark, they can get there quickly, south ari cannot , so it is pure luck and I was not in luck.
With regards to the dive centre, they booked our accommodation, which was what we expected, I have done a seperate review on that. Dangethi is a dry island and only 1 small beach area to sunbathe in swimwear or it is keep covered. Neither a problem to me, but just want you to be aware.
The diving boat /staff were friendly, efficient as I didn't have a buddy, i was with the instructor and they really looked after me. I felt safe, even when I had a weight issue or the currents were very strong!!! they would hook me to the reef or even hold my hand!!! But hopefully you wont get such bad weather or strong currents.
Would I return, probably not. Would I recommend, yes. It was excellent value for money.
翻译:心情很复杂。我们整个逗留期间天气都不太好,能见度很差,他们也不想远离岛屿,所以如果不花 1.5 小时前往该地区,很难看到蝠鲼或鲸鲨。他们没有计划去那里,尽管我的报价包括蝠鲼和鲸鲨潜水(顺便说一下,那是一次潜水,而不是两次)。船上的团队抱怨,所以我们去了该地区(靠近丽笙蓝光酒店)。我们确实看到了蝠鲼,实际上我进行了一次很棒的潜水,但没有看到鲸鲨。
然而……请注意,如果您有幸看到鲸鲨,消息很快就会传出去,如果您是第一批上船的人之一,您可能会有几分钟的时间。但消息一传出去,您就会被多达 30 艘船和 1 条鲸鲨包围。看到别人拍摄的画面既不好看又很残忍,所以在某种程度上我很高兴我们没有追赶,但我希望每天都能待在该地区,也许有机会看到。
当然,潜水船很慢。其他船都是快艇,所以当他们听说有鲸鲨时,他们可以很快到达那里,而南阿里不能,所以这纯粹是运气好,而我运气不好。
关于潜水中心,他们为我们预订了住宿,这正是我们所期望的,我对此做了单独的评论。丹格提是一个干岛,只有 1 个小海滩区可以穿着泳衣晒日光浴,或者保持遮盖。对我来说都不是问题,只是想让你知道。
潜水船/工作人员很友好、高效,因为我没有伙伴,我和教练在一起,他们真的很照顾我。我感到很安全,即使我有体重问题或水流很强的时候!!!他们会把我钩在珊瑚礁上,甚至握着我的手!!!但希望你不会遇到如此恶劣的天气或强流。
我会再来吗?可能不会。我会推荐吗?是的。物超所值。
