Neptune Islands
La profondità indica il range dalla sommità del sito al suo massimo abituale; il "brevetto consigliato" è il livello richiesto di norma dagli operatori delle principali agenzie, non una norma di legge. Correnti e visibilità cambiano ogni giorno — considera tutto ciò che trovi qui come range di pianificazione.
The Neptunes are Australia's only licensed great white cage-diving grounds, two clusters of granite islands where long-nosed fur seals breed and the sharks that hunt them patrol. Surface cages hang off the stern on hookah air, open to anyone who can climb a ladder, while one long-running operator lowers a cage to the seabed so certified divers can watch whites cruise at their own level, unhurried and enormous. Sharks are present year-round without being guaranteed on any given day; the cooler months are often quoted for larger females. Between passes, the seals themselves supply the comedy the sharks decline to provide.
Il momento che aspettavi: Great whites from surface and seabed cages, fur-seal colonies, professional licensed operation
Topografia: Granite island group over sand and reef, dived from anchored vessels
Entrata: Full-day and multi-day licensed charters from Port Lincoln anchor near the fur-seal colonies; all in-water time is inside cages.
Sapere prima di tuffarsi
Pericoli: Cold water, swell on the crossing, and the obvious: follow cage protocol exactly and keep all limbs inside.
Permessi & regole: No independent diving; access is exclusively through licensed cage-dive charters from Port Lincoln.
Conservazione: Cage diving here is limited to a small number of licensed operators under South Australian management, with rules on attractant use and shark interaction.
