In the water, we are not supposed to touch anything, not even a rock or coral, or any fishes. It’s not a gift shop. This is not a chance for you to bring something home to show your mom and dad. Leave it as it is. We are guests in their home. Is that correct?
位于澳大利亞東北部的大堡礁,是世界最大最長的珊瑚礁群,也是澳大利亞人最引以為豪的天然景觀。大堡礁是由數(shù)十億只微小的珊瑚蟲所建構(gòu)成,是生物所建造的最大物體,就算在外太空也能看到。
大堡礁也是個(gè)相當(dāng)熱門的觀光景點(diǎn),特別是在降靈群島及凱恩斯地區(qū)。這里海洋物種豐富,水質(zhì)清澈,是世界著名的潛水天堂。你可以搭乘游艇,學(xué)習(xí)潛水技能,踏上深入觀賞大堡礁之旅。
或許你之前沒玩過水肺潛水和通氣管潛泳,但是你肯定會(huì)用吸管喝飲料。我們獲取空氣也是同樣的原理,方法都是一樣的。只要你會(huì)用吸管,就能學(xué)會(huì)水肺潛水。
一旦你感覺耳朵不太舒服,就捏住鼻子,然后輕輕用鼻子呼氣。然后耳朵就“?!钡匾宦曂恕_@樣就實(shí)現(xiàn)了耳壓平衡。為了確保你們在水下可以溝通,你還得學(xué)一些手勢。
在水下,什么都別碰,連一塊巖石或一片珊瑚都不行,任何魚也不行,海洋不是禮品店。潛水又不是為了讓你帶點(diǎn)紀(jì)念品回家給爸媽看的。讓海洋保持原樣吧。我們只不過是來訪的客人。對嗎?

來自詹姆斯庫克大學(xué)的專家稱,這是他們目前在世界遺產(chǎn)地測出大量白化的最極端的例子。
在過去的大概30年里,我們見證了前所未有的大量白化現(xiàn)象,這和全球變暖有強(qiáng)烈的關(guān)聯(lián)。

在很多海濱景區(qū)都有潛水項(xiàng)目,不過潛水可不是大家所理解的“帶上裝備跳進(jìn)水里就行”。首先我們來看看水肺潛水的不同類型吧。
(1)休閑潛水(Recreational Diving)
以觀光為主,可以看珊瑚看魚,一般在30米之內(nèi)。
(2)技術(shù)潛水(Technical Diving)
技術(shù)潛水涉及的門類較多,有人專注探索更深海的領(lǐng)域,有人偏好沉船、洞穴,有人運(yùn)用公共安全知識(shí)求人等等。
(3)工業(yè)潛水(Commercial Diving)
這是專門為了生產(chǎn)活動(dòng)而存在的類型。比如海洋石油勘探、海地鉆井等。工業(yè)潛水在水肺潛水的三種類型中,是下潛深度最大、裝備最復(fù)雜的一種。
Australia's Gold Coast, on the eastern coast of Australia, is a getaway of 42 kilometers and dozens of beautiful beaches.
