成功啦
海底的世界又多了兩名愛上潛水的成員: 來自上海的Vincent和Kirk, 在Borneo Dream專任中文教練Silvia的帶領下, 順利完成了PADI開放水域潛水員的課程! 恭喜啦!
一開始Kirk只是抱著陪朋友Vincent上課的心情參加這個課程, 沒想到他入水後就像一條魚自在又快樂, 他立刻愛上了潛水 及在水中那無重力的自由感覺!
Vincent 自認是需要花比較多時間學新東西的人, 在第一天的課程中他花了一些時間在教練指導下克服了耳壓不平衡及面鏡進水的種種不適, 到第三天結業的時候他已經能完美地控制中性浮力, 輕鬆地完成所有課程要求!
除此之外, 他們跟Borneo Dream全部的員工變成了好朋友! 目前已經回到上海的他們, 除了熱心鼓吹朋友出國跟Borneo Dream學潛水外, 同時已經在計畫下一次到沙巴潛水的行程了– 這次該上進階水域的課程囉!
