Popular water entertainment in the Maldives cost the journalist more than the trip itself

Delphi The job took O. Gasanov, travel ambassador and creator of the show “Orius Journey”, to the exotic Maldives, where he filmed a new show and tried extreme entertainment for the first time. So far, neither in Palanga nor in other resorts around the world with jet skis a journalist has decided to diversify the shots of the show and cross the waves of the Indian Ocean.

“I did everything for my program, I thought it would be fun. So the operator and I rented two jet skis for 50 euros. They told us to sign a brochure with warnings. The main one sounded like this: if a motorcycle turns in the water, there is a fine of 50 euros. I had to agree with this point because otherwise I do not rent. But they immediately warned me that this happens very, very rarely. He also assured that a person rarely falls off a motorcycle “, said Orijus .

“Great need give“The team was informed by Orius, so the journalist and the transmission operator did not hesitate to accept their terms and pay the rent.”

“These newcomers are first trained by a master. Maniškis, a sixteen-year-old teenager, sat me up behind and told me to calmly navigate forward. We swam, I asked him if I would actually fall into the water, I warned him that I didn’t know how to swim, so he was scared of that, and he reassured me again that I would not really fall.

Then they told me to turn around and bring him back to shore. Okay, I’ll turn around. And after a moment, my sixteen-year-old teacher was already in the water all wet, holding his phone in hand. I could see on his face that he was not expecting it and it was completely frustrating for him. Well, he got back on the bike and I returned him with a urine on the shore. Then I swam to film what a cool biker he was.

But it turns out that it is not that simple. I won’t expand much, but after 5 minutes in the water, let’s say “from the waves”, two of our rented bikes kissed. One did not suffer, the other was scraped on the side, and the plastic on the steering wheel bounced ”, Orijus told his adventure hub and clarified that the accident occurred when the engines of both jet skis were turned off and a fatal wave crashed. one vehicle in another.

The journalist later saw the head of the rental point, a sixteen-year-old teacher and his colleagues on the ground.

“It just came to our attention then. I will have to pay the fine of 50 euros that I signed. But the manager of the rental point did not agree: He said he would invite Yamaha motorcycle service personnel, experts from the capital. They will check and calculate how much the repair will cost. Calculated by men – 1676 Eur. This was my first time ”, said the journalist about his first trip along the coast of the Indian Ocean.

The creators of the show did not argue and paid the fine they imposed, although they did not expect the cost of the repairs to be that high. “I have heard of fraud schemes where tourists are asked to pay for the embarrassment of the team caused by their fault, but this time it was really a ‘failure’, the scratch really came. Well, maybe the price went up a little bit, but we felt guilty so we paid the fine, “Orijus said.
