点评:We can't say enough about how much we loved meeting Dougie and having him charter us for a few hours a few days after Christmas. We unfortunately did not plan ahead so we were scrambling to find a boat to take us out to snorkel. Dougie was so kind and responsive on WhatsApp and fit us into his schedule. We met him at Sandy Ground and it was just us on the boat. Dougie had updated snorkel equipment and a cooler of beers/sodas/waters. We immediately saw 3 sea turtles heading out of the bay which was such a treat. Dougie's mate Patrick was great at spotting things for us to appreciate. First spot was Crocus Bay which was beautiful - tons of beautiful fish, sea turtle, gorgeous coral. Next was a jump off a big cliff in Little Bay and then we ventured way out to this huge reef out in the middle of nowhere to experience some amazing snorkeling, schools of fish, trumpet fish and more. He then took us to a cave on one of the Prickly Pear islands where we saw Brown Booby birds and snorkeled into a cave. On the way back he noticed a group of tourists had gotten their boat stuck on a reef at Sandy Beach so we helped tow them to safety.
All in all - this was such a core memory for us and Dougie was beyond kind, did not overcharge or nickel/dime us and is truly knowledgeable and experienced and a local in every best sense of the term. We highly recommend!!
翻译:我们无法用言语表达我们有多喜欢与 Dougie 见面,让他在圣诞节后的几天租给我们几个小时。不幸的是,我们没有提前计划,所以我们匆忙地寻找一艘船带我们去浮潜。Dougie 在 WhatsApp 上非常友好和积极,并将我们安排在他的日程安排中。我们在 Sandy Ground 见到了他,船上只有我们。Dougie 更新了浮潜设备,并准备了一箱啤酒/苏打水/水。我们立即看到 3 只海龟从海湾游出来,这真是一种享受。Dougie 的伙伴 Patrick 非常擅长为我们发现值得欣赏的东西。第一个景点是美丽的 Crocus Bay - 大量美丽的鱼、海龟、华丽的珊瑚。接下来是从 Little Bay 的一个大悬崖上跳下来,然后我们冒险前往这个茫茫荒野中的巨大珊瑚礁,体验一些令人惊叹的浮潜,鱼群、喇叭鱼等等。然后他带我们去了 Prickly Pear 群岛上的一个洞穴,在那里我们看到了棕鲣鸟,还潜入了一个洞穴。回来的路上,他注意到一群游客的船被困在了 Sandy Beach 的珊瑚礁上,所以我们帮忙把他们拖到了安全的地方。
总而言之 - 这对我们来说是一段难忘的回忆,Dougie 非常友善,没有多收钱,也没有向我们斤斤计较,他真的知识渊博、经验丰富,是一个名副其实的当地人。我们强烈推荐!!
