探索福斯特
福斯特位於新南威爾斯州，長期以來一直是著名的潛水勝地。它與鄰近的坦卡里鎮緊鄰，兩地都以其美麗的海水和原始的海岸線而聞名，距離雪梨北部僅300公里。
福斯特只有三家潛水中心，都歷史悠久，信譽卓著。它們都提供潛水課程，從初次體驗潛水到專業資格認證，應有盡有。該地區沒有潛水度假村或潛水船宿。
福斯特潛水的亮點之一是有機會看到巨大的灰護士鯊。不僅能看到它們，在某些地方還能看到它們成群結隊地游弋，數量超過100條。在這裡潛水的其他難忘體驗還包括與其他鯊魚共遊、深海沉船潛水和洞穴探險。
Top Foster Dive Sites
1. The Pinnacle
This deep (24–33m) drift dive is a sanctuary for grey nurse sharks—often 40 or more, sometimes over 100. Wobbegongs, eagle rays, turtles, and black cod are also common. Suitable for advanced scuba divers due to depth and strong currents. A shark lover’s dream.
2. Latitude Rock
At 10–18m, this vibrant reef features sponge gardens, kelp beds, and plenty of marine life including blue gropers, Port Jackson sharks, and wobbegongs. Ideal for photographers and all dive levels. Clear, sunlit waters offer perfect conditions for freediving.
3. Idol Bay
A kelp-covered reef with excellent macro opportunities and sandy areas that attract rays, turtles, kingfish, and the occasional shark. Great for intermediate divers and underwater photographers seeking diversity in both reef and pelagic life.
4. The Grotto (Big Seal Rock)
From February to May, divers can witness huge gatherings of grey nurse sharks. Great visibility and dramatic underwater landscapes make this advanced dive unforgettable. Explore nearby Eastern Gutters and Big Seal Rock Reef in one trip.
5. Jimmy’s Cave
A deep, technical dive (24–35m) featuring a chimney-like structure with several exits. Macro life flourishes in the shadows, making it a unique experience for experienced divers. Requires good buoyancy and comfort in enclosed spaces.
