姆萬德海峽
若想天天看到壯觀的常駐魔鬼魚,請前往波納佩北側的姆萬海峽。
波納佩島是密克羅尼西亞聯邦最大、海拔最高的島嶼,在太平洋地區獨樹一幟,提供獨特的潛水體驗。與帛琉和楚克等熱門潛水勝地不同,波納佩島宛如一顆隱藏的寶石,尚未受到大眾旅遊的侵擾。這意味著潛水員可以遠離喧囂,在原始珊瑚礁中享受寧靜的水下探險。潛水業者大多位於科洛尼亞,提供各種潛水環境,從生氣勃勃的珊瑚花園到壯觀的峭壁和水下通道,應有盡有。島上還有一些船宿潛水和潛水中心,確保潛水員獲得個人化且沉浸式的體驗。波納佩島的海洋生物堪稱壯觀。在帕爾克爾海峽,潛水員有機會邂逅多達百條灰礁鯊的壯觀景象,而蝠鱝則常年出現在眾多的清潔站。島上極佳的能見度(通常可達30公尺)也為探索這些充滿活力的水下生態系統提供了絕佳的機會。儘管波納佩是地球上最潮濕的地方之一,但雨水反而滋養了這裡鬱鬱蔥蔥的美景,也造就了繁榮的海洋棲息地。無論您是潛水新手還是經驗豐富的潛水員,波納佩都能為您帶來難忘的、人跡罕至的潛水體驗,讓您置身於世界上最健康的珊瑚礁生態系統之中。這裡僻靜的魅力和自然美景,使其成為尋求寧靜、親近大自然的度假勝地的理想之選。
這裡全年都適合潛水,雨季也一樣,但水下世界卻不受影響。熱帶氣候使水溫常年保持在攝氏27度/81華氏度左右,因此任何季節都適合潛水。不過,7月至11月風力最小,較有利於潛水。
