点评:Gorontalo is more than just whale shark...The wall diving experience is amazing, Miguel crew all come with pair of macro eyes to find small critters + they are expect in underwater photography as well..Please make sure your buoyancy steady enough to hovering for photo taking..I am lucky enough this time to encounter hammerhead shark passing by, if you are super lucky may see Ocra or whale passing. Gorontalo unique coastal line landscape and its rich marine biodiversity attract migrated whale, Ocra..There are criticisms on whale shark feeding & photography..I just want to clarify few point
1. No net or caging on whale sharks ,open ocean, whale shark come in get morning snack & go ..
2. There are chances whale shark does not come in, uncertain how many whale sharks drop by
3. All whale sharks spotted so far are all male, all named Sherry
4. The money go to local community and boost up local tourism . Divers can opt out whale shark activity ,do not necessary overacting by skipping diving in Gorontalo .
Miguel diving is the only dive centre in Gorontalo operate with own dives crew, boat and facilities.. they maintain high SOP to ensure diver safety as top priority. Majority DM & instructors are free-lance in both Manado & Gorontalo, safely measure varies, I will strongly recommend to dive with Miguel Diving in Gorontalo
翻译:哥伦打洛不仅仅只有鲸鲨……峭壁潜水体验令人惊叹,Miguel 船员们都配备了微距镜头,可以寻找小型生物,而且他们也擅长水下摄影。请确保您的浮力足够稳定,以便悬停拍照。这次我很幸运地遇到了一条游过的锤头鲨,如果您运气更好,或许还能看到秋葵或鲸鱼。哥伦打洛独特的海岸线景观和丰富的海洋生物多样性吸引着迁徙的鲸鱼和秋葵。有人批评喂食和拍摄鲸鲨,我想澄清几点:
1. 鲸鲨不会被网或笼子围住,它们生活在开阔的海洋中,过来吃点东西就走。
2. 鲸鲨可能不会过来,也不确定有多少鲸鲨会来。
3. 目前为止发现的所有鲸鲨都是雄性,都叫雪莉。
4. 收入会用于当地社区,并促进当地旅游业的发展。潜水员可以选择不参加鲸鲨观赏活动,不必因此而放弃在哥伦打洛的潜水。
米格尔潜水中心是哥伦打洛唯一一家拥有自有潜水团队、船只和设施的潜水中心。他们严格遵守标准操作程序 (SOP),将潜水员的安全放在首位。虽然大多数潜水长和教练在万鸦老和哥伦打洛都是自由职业者,安全标准也各不相同,但我强烈推荐您在哥伦打洛选择米格尔潜水中心。
