Elephant Ear Canyon
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。
A river of white sand pours through a cut in West Caicos's wall, and partway down the canyon grows the site's namesake: an orange elephant ear sponge broad enough to shade a diver, one of the largest most visitors will ever see. The wall on either side is classic West Caicos, deeply fissured and hung with rope sponges, while the sand channel below traffics stingrays and the odd passing reef shark. Photographers budget half their dive for the sponge alone, framing buddies against it, then ride the canyon rim back to the shallows where garden eels colonize the flats.
您此行的高光时刻: Giant elephant ear sponge, sand-river canyon through the wall
地形地貌: Sand canyon cutting through a vertical wall
入水方式: Reached by fast boat or liveaboard from Providenciales along West Caicos's protected west wall.
入水前须知
危险因素: Depth accumulates quickly in the canyon; the sponge sits below twenty meters, so plan the profile around it.
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。
