We went in the afternoon to do a baptism, which in theory we hired to do in Tabarca. We arrived and... SURPRISE.
I'll tell you about it as if it were a book, a movie or I don't know, because it seems like a joke.
Chapter 1: "The welcome"
He tells us that we are going to a cove 35 minutes away and that we have to go by van... By van to Tabarca? The instructor never gave us an explanation as to why we were not going to Tabarca, but we heard him talking on the phone saying that his boss was sick. But what less than notifying and informing your clients, right? Well no, he didn't tell us anything.
We try on the material, we put it in a car to take it to the van, and we take out the cylinders, etc. He did not check at any time that they were okay, nor do I carry any as a reserve just in case, but hey, we are heading to the cove that took us...
Chapter 2: Reckless driving
We left the port area, and just turned a roundabout, seeing from a distance a person who was going to cross, he almost ran over him, but that's not all, throughout the way, he was entertaining himself (smoking, looking at the landscape, etc.) neglecting driving, swerving, and very badly. If the same thing happens to you, I recommend that you go in your car, even if you have to do more km.
Chapter 3: Explanation in the cove.
We arrived at the site, we prepared the material, and there was something when placing the oxygen cylinder that failed, and he had to go to the van to look for something, after this he explained to us the signs to know if we are okay or not, and to indicate the oxygen we have left. During the explanation, I was making a series of comments about us, and his previous clients, which were really unnecessary. What is important about whether a person is thick or not, and that we have used the same material? None, just things that shouldn't even be mentioned. HORRIFYING CONDITION OF THE MATERIAL.
After this only explanation, and this uncomfortable moment, we get into the water, and he tells us to do some exercises, since it is a baptism, we had never done it before. Well, since the water had a lot of algae, she gave up and said to go in directly... But STOP!
HELLO? WE HAVE NEVER DIVED BEFORE, I don't know how to get back afloat, I still don't know how to breathe very well and I had a lot of doubts, and I felt insecure. But despite this, we follow him.
Chapter 4: Inside the sea
We were following him, until we reached a point where he told us to turn around, and the normal thing is for him to pass in front, well no... My companion went in front, and he was turning all the time to See if I told him where to go, and he didn't say anything, so we continued.
There was a moment when I lost a lot of oxygen, I don't know why, and no one noticed. I didn't know how to tell him either, but I showed him the meter, which had dropped quite a bit. But we continued, with my partner in front. Until there came a moment when he pulled my fin and told me to stop, but my partner continued because he didn't realize, and the guide took a while to catch up with him, and all this, me waiting there and not knowing how to communicate well. since he had explained 4 signs to us.
At the moment I stopped my companion, they turned towards me, to go back to the shore, the disoriented guide went up to find out where he was... And we missed a good part of the bottom, since we were high. And me entering reserve.
Chapter 5: While we were taking the cylinders to the van, he lit a cigarette there on the beach. We went down to get the rest of the material, and seeing that it was taking a while to go down, my partner decided to upload the instructor's material. This man was more concerned with his cigarette and his things than with us. And coinciding with many comments that I have read, the return was in a hurry to finish, etc. And finally...
It has been a HORRIBLE experience. I have felt very insecure, deceived, and bad.
I liked the baptism, and seeing some little fish and such, I loved it, and I will repeat, but without a doubt with another company that is more professional. Because everything that happened is incredible. I will not repeat with them ever again. - via
