探索馬裡亞納群島
馬裡亞納群島擁有適合各級潛水員的潛點,是參加各種潛水課程的理想地點。從生機勃勃、棲息著豐富的印度洋-太平洋物種(如珊瑚礁魚類、鯊魚、鰩魚、海龜等)的原始珊瑚礁,到陡峭的峭壁和歷史悠久的沉船遺跡,眾多標誌性潛點等待著您的探索。潛水中心和度假村眾多,因此您無需擔心找不到合適的潛水地點。有些潛水員也會選擇船宿潛水,這些船宿潛水船經常在這些密克羅尼西亞群島之間航行。
在馬裡亞納群島潛水通常包括塞班島、天寧島、羅塔島和關島。塞班島擁有潔白的沙灘和絕佳的潛水點,例如洞穴、鷹鰩清潔站和健康的珊瑚礁。附近的天寧島則有許多未受破壞的偏遠潛點,景色令人嘆為觀止,例如壯麗的天寧洞穴和深受攝影愛好者歡迎的雙珊瑚礁。
羅塔島擁有清澈見底的海水,海底沉船眾多,其中包括二戰時期日本貨船「翔雲丸號」。其他值得一提的潛點還有珊瑚花園和桌狀礁,那裡生物極為豐富;以及神漢農洞穴,洞穴內光線充足,宛如仙境。
關島是歷史愛好者的天堂,這裡有許多一戰和二戰沉船遺址可供探索,其中一些甚至適合初學者。雖然這裡也有色彩繽紛的珊瑚礁和峭壁可供觀賞,但主要的吸引力還是在於沉船。其中最引人注目的是一戰時期的「科莫蘭號」(SMS Cormoran)和二戰期間沉沒的「東海丸號」(Tokai Maru)。這兩艘船並排躺在一起,據信是世界上唯一一處可以同時觸摸到兩次世界大戰沉船的地方。
整體而言,塞班島更加發達繁華。如果想要體驗更寧靜、更傳統的風情,那麼較小的天寧島和羅塔島則是絕佳之選。馬裡亞納群島都擁有絕佳的潛水資源,因此沒有所謂的「最佳」潛水地點,因為它們都提供了一流的潛水點。
