探索赫维湾
赫维湾（Hervey Bay）是昆士兰州南部的一座海滨城市，也是澳大利亚观看座头鲸迁徙的最佳地点之一。 位于赫维湾和弗雷泽岛之间的大桑迪海洋公园（Great Sandy Marine Park）有多处令人印象深刻的沉船潜水点。除了有机会与鲸鱼一起游泳外，还能遇到疣鼻鲉、巨石斑鱼和海龟。
赫维湾的潜水中心为数不多，提供从水肺探索到高级开放水域的潜水课程。 从赫维湾乘短途飞机即可到达艾略特夫人岛（Lady Elliot Island），亲眼目睹大堡礁南端的大量蝠鲼。
在赫维湾潜水的最佳月份
赫维湾的水肺潜水最佳季节是冬季，从六月到八月，能见度最高。 如果您是来观赏座头鲸的雄姿，从七月到十月都可以看到它们。从七月到九月，您可以与鲸鱼一起游泳，而当幼鲸在九月中旬左右到来时，游泳就会受到限制，取而代之的是一些奇妙的观鲸活动。
