探索汉密尔顿岛
汉密尔顿岛（Hamilton Island）位于大堡礁（Great Barrier Reef）内，不用说，这里的潜水也是令人难以置信的。 该岛位于昆士兰（Queensland）海岸附近，著名的碧蓝水域波光粼粼，隐藏着大量的海洋生物和丰富的珊瑚礁。
岛上有几个专门的潜水中心和潜水度假村。所有这些都提供潜水课程，初级课程尤其受欢迎，因为背包客旅游率很高，当然还有清澈平静的海水、蝠鲼和海龟！
在汉密尔顿岛，船宿是非常受欢迎的选择。降灵岛是澳大利亚最受欢迎的航海区，这也就不难理解了。无论是潜水员还是非潜水员，都会被这里的美景所吸引，这是体验该地区的最佳方式之一。潜水亮点包括有机会与《海底总动员》的全体演员一起潜水，包括海龟、蝠鲼和小丑鱼。
