Shark Reef
一些潜水网1zplay站确实非常特别。不管您每次进行一次特定网站的潜水次数,您都会知道自己正在获得一些新的启示1zplay。或一些惊喜。或非常令人兴奋的东西。而且,无论您在那里潜水的频率,一旦您从水中出来,您总是会1zplay觉得自己想“至少”再潜水一次。
Shark Reef is one of these special dive sites. It's located at the very southern tip of the wedge-shaped Sinai peninsula, which separates two different kinds of waters: the Gulf of Suez in the west, connected to the Mediterranean, with a relatively shallow sandy bottom, and the much deeper and warmer Gulf of Aqaba on the east. Exactly where these waters meet, two "twin" reefs, Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, stick out further south at the tip of the peninsula, connected to each other and to the mainland by what is known as the "saddle".
The two water masses create really special environmental conditions that the whole area had been declared a National Park in 1983. Needless to say, marine life here is at its very best - not only in terms of "quality" (some fish and coral species are endemic of this place) but also in terms of "quantity", especially - but not only - in the summer. Wherever there's current, there's life – and here it really blooms.
Shark Reef is definitely not recommended as a shore dive because of its -sometimes- extremely unpredictable currents. The best way to enjoy the dive site is by boat - boat trips to the Ras Mohamed National Park are scheduled daily by the diving centers operating in the Sharm El Sheikh area despite the Egyptian political situation. This area has never experienced any trouble and, to be honest, the decreased affluence of tourists has actually helped the reefs.
Let's dive. You "normally" jump along the steep vertical wall of Shark Reef, and under your fins you have 800 meters deep blue water. Once you deflate your BCD, you are literally surrounded by hundreds of twinspot snappers (Lutjanus Bohar),虽然您周围的蝙蝠鱼,千斤顶,金枪鱼和梭子鱼几乎与大掠食者(尤其是在夏天)一起竞争您的注意Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) and blacktip sharks (Carcharhinus Limbatus)。电流通常非常强大,这两个不同的水的见面有时会产生漩涡和涡流,因此看到您的气泡在您面前或您的下方,并不少见!
Once you get to the "saddle" your environment changes; lots of hard corals on the sand constitute the perfect habitat for giant moray eels, groupers, scorpionfish, crocodile fish and napoleonfish. If the current allows it, you can then proceed northwards towards the mainland to inspect the backside of Shark Reef and, in ideal current conditions and with good air consumption, you might even go around Shark Reef a second time. Otherwise you can proceed to Yolanda Reef, a larger and longer reef that first forms a wide plateau, sloping down from approx. 10 to 23 meters, and then becomes a vertical wall. Whether you dive it shallow at 10-12 meters or deeper at 20 meters, keep one eye on the rich coral reef life and one eye in the blue, because anything can appear here - dolphins, eagle rays, mantas, and sharks, and - it happened - even whale sharks and sunfish (akamola mola)如果您决定潜入珊瑚礁的背面,请为大1zplay型团体,海龟,拿破仑与千斤顶鱼和巨大的莫雷鳗鱼一起准备。注意成千上万的小Anthiasin order to second-guess the intensity and the direction of the current, as it might change suddenly.
在礁石的尽头,您到达了一个沙质坡度,乔兰达(Jolanda1981年,肯定是在1985年沉没。尽管偶尔有摄影味道不好的潜水员,但检查厕所,水槽和浴缸浴缸实际上非常好 - 是的,还1zplay有一家宝马!那里的海洋生物 - 蓝斑的黄貂鱼,莫雷鳗鱼,分组者,鳄鱼鱼和石鱼 - 从字面上征服了这个地方。这是您“正常”进行安全停止并膨胀SMB的地方 - 但是根据当前条件,潜水指南可能以不同的方式计划潜水。1zplay
无论如何,当您重新浮出水面时,您总是希望您的坦克大两倍,或者也许有人可以在礁石顶部安装压缩机...因为这是您已经在这里计划下一次潜水的时候了 - 您知道每一个1zplay时间将要发生新的事情。
