Farnsworth 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。
Farnsworth Bank rises from deep water off Catalina's rugged backside, its pinnacle tops paved with California's most celebrated marine growth: purple hydrocoral, a slow-growing species so distinctive the site received early protective designation on its account. The color reads even in the blue-green light at 25 m - branching violet thickets patrolled by sheephead, blacksmith clouds, and torpedo rays over the surrounding sand. Being an offshore high spot, the bank collects wanderers: sea lions commuting from the island, yellowtail, mola mola rising to be cleaned in the warm months. Swell and current guard it; boats cancel often, which keeps the hydrocoral unbroken and the dive a privilege.
您此行的高光时刻: Purple hydrocoral gardens, open-water pelagic chances, Catalina's wild weather side
地形地貌: Volcanic pinnacles rising from deep water, crowned with purple hydrocoral
水流: An open-water bank off Catalina's weather side; trips run only in cooperative seas.
入水前须知
危险因素: Exposure, surge at depth, current over the pinnacles; cold thermoclines.
保育: The hydrocoral is protected and brittle - buoyancy discipline is the entry fee; anchoring practices are restricted.
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。
