Muck Diving

The name ‘泥土跳水’ doesn’t sound very pleasant. Who wants to dive in ‘muck’? It sounds like dirty water, silty bottoms, and probably bad viz (visibility). But divers who have been in the muck will tell you it’s an amazing treasure hunt for the ocean’s weirdest, strangest, and fantastic creatures.

What is muck diving?

最近发现的巴布亚新几内亚经过a few divers who decided to jump in and dive right off a sandy beach, muck diving has become a sensation. For those who like the small critters, it’s a fantasy world and an underwater photographer's dream seeing some of these neat creatures.

Brightly colorednudibranchs沿着黑色的火山砂爬行，章鱼在废弃的瓶子和其他垃圾中居住。龙飞凤舞乌贼flash their yellows and purples, and wonderpus cruise along the bottom.

Muck Diving并不总是意味着肮脏或不良的知名度。它是指沙质（通常是黑色火山砂）或卵石底。有时会有旧碎片，例如垃圾或流浪树枝，创造房屋和隐藏的地方。

可见性也不总是很糟糕，不同的站点具有不同的即将来临，就像不同的站点具有不同的底部构图一样。通常没有太多的珊瑚；有时只有小补丁。1zplay潜水地点通常很浅，就在海岸线上，允许长时间的底部，这是很好的，因为有很多东西可以找到。

为什么要1zplay潜入泥土？

Muck 1zplayDivers有一个无尽的生物清单。为了海马lovers, many species can be seen, from the tiny pygmy seahorses (the size of your pinky fingernail) to the larger thorny or pacific seahorses (3-6 inches tall) and their pipefish cousins.

有微小的骨骼虾（头发的大小），看起来很傻的唐纳德鸭虾和美丽的丑角虾。墨鱼有各种形状和尺寸，从最小的侏儒墨鱼到较大broadclub cuttlefish，还有美丽的紫色和黄色艳丽的墨西哥鱼。

对于头足动物的爱好者，Muck Diving可以揭示众多的Wonderpus，模拟章鱼，蓝色环，毒ocellate，椰子章鱼，微小的藻类和毛茸茸的章鱼。裸色（也是头足动物），因为它们具有许多不同的鲜艳色彩和图案，因此是小动物猎人和摄影师的最爱。

But it’s not all small stuff. Bigger creatures can live in the muck too, including蛙鱼the size of baseball gloves or the three-foot long蓝丝带鳗。In fact, many eel species can be seen, including zebra morays, white eyed, snowflake, garden eels, and several species of snake eels.

Muck Diving也不只是白天。就像太阳落山一样，颜色鲜艳的普通话从岩石的房屋中散发出来。夜间潜水小动物包括“星报”，将自己埋在沙下，因此只能看到眼睛和嘴巴。

白天躲藏在夜间狩猎时藏在沙滩上的许多蝎子鱼和石鱼。鳗鱼出来喂食，飞行的gur虫在沙滩上“飞”。有时，晚上找到泥泞的小动物会更容易，因为手电筒的光可能有助于阐明隐藏生物的微妙对比。

马克的特殊技能

在泥浆中潜水需要完美的浮力，因为粉质底部非常容易受到干扰，并且在沙子中进行强踢可以搅动一片沙子并降低可见度。Often divers have ‘critter sticks’, which are metal rods NOT to be used to harass the marine life, but to help hold yourself in one position by sticking them in the sand without stirring up the bottom and also used to point out critters to your buddies.

Having a good dive guide is vital for muck diving. On your first muck dive you may descend to what looks like an empty, black sandy bottom and you might not see anything. Then your dive guide will start pointing out critters and it will almost seem like your guide is magically making them appear in the sand.

Sometimes it’s hard to see a critter even when your dive guide is pointing right at it! Frogfish are a master of disguise that often blend in very well with their surroundings. After several dives you will start finding your own critters and begin calling your dive guide over to show them your treasure.

If you haven’t already, consider a muck dive. It is one of the few types of recreational diving where you might still be able to find an undiscovered species, and chances are you will find many critters you’ve never seen before or ever imagined existed!
