AUSTRALIA | Sun, 24 Oct 2010 | By mishulee | Views [7845]

第一站定係CAIRNS 開恩玆, 因為呢個係最近大堡蘸既地方我同呀韜用左7天的時間潛水,我未至於喪潛, 佢先算係..全程24個DIVE, 佢去23個!難忘大浪到不得了, 夜晚訓覺好似玩機動遊戲-洗衣機一樣, 所以有1,2晚訓得好差, 訓唔到覺係潛水大忌,冇精神點落水? 所以我都唔係潛左好多次! 極之藍既海水, 甚至有時會覺得好假, 我覺得算係值回票價, 睇到最想睇到既鯊魚,大魚...雖然都覺得好多CORAL 都真係開始白化,但仍然有生機的! 係船上看到一本書, 叫做BACKPACKER ... Read more >
