Princess Alice Bank
深度范围指从潜点顶部到通常最大深度;"建议认证等级"是运营商通常要求的主流机构等级,并非法律规定。水流和能见度每天都会变化,请将这里的所有信息视为规划参考范围。
Named for the research vessel of Prince Albert I of Monaco, which sounded the bank in 1896, Princess Alice is an open-ocean seamount whose summit lies about 35 m down with nothing but Atlantic around it. Divers descend a line or drift over the plateau while sicklefin devil rays rise from the blue in slow, stacked formations, sometimes dozens deep, circling swimmers at the safety stop. Jacks and yellowmouth barracuda school over the top, and anything can cruise past: this is one of Europe's few genuine pelagic stations.
您此行的高光时刻: Summer devil-ray carousels, blue-water descents, schooling jacks over a mid-Atlantic summit
地形地貌: Basalt summit plateau at about 35 m falling away into deep ocean on all sides
水流: Current over the summit can strengthen without warning; dives are managed as live-boat drifts.
入水方式: Roughly 45 nautical miles southwest of Faial and Pico, a crossing of several hours each way, run only in settled summer weather.
入水前须知
危险因素: Deep start, bottomless blue water, surface current and remoteness: self-sufficiency and a DSMB are essential.
保育: A recognized offshore biodiversity site; operators follow no-touch, no-chase practice around the ray aggregations.
高氧(Nitrox): 在此值得使用:这些潜点的深度范围内,富氧空气(nitrox)能有效延长免减压停留时间,前提是您已接受相关培训。
