Diving in Somosomo Straight, Taveuni Is Fiji 07.02-03.2012

Somosomo Straight 是斐濟四大讚點之一 (我認為啦~) 剛去了最讚潛區Wananavu 的Blight Water。此第二讚,我仍是期待.... 跟家人玩了三天Taveuni Island小行程,該來下海囉~

DSC00836

請飯店小開Matt幫我聯繫潛店,老闆兼潛導是Julie (此生遇到第一個女潛導),細心、優雅、良善,跟著她感覺很好~ 如我有多的時間,會想跟她久一點... 四潛,我覺得有點對不起她,但我時間有限...

當她登記著我的O/W卡,抬頭看我那訝異眼神,我已不稀奇,東方女人本來就看起來較年輕~ 然後她微笑點頭打量我一番,說我像 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon的女主角,呵呵~ 最好是,稱讚女顧客也只知這麼說,且李安的電影太有名~

潛伴們都不是第一天來潛,又是一堆米國人,我們分兩組… 新加入的我,唯一的東方人,又是成為大家注目焦點。我整箱潛水裝備,被抬上船直接組裝~ 當流鈎從箱子滾出來的霎那,我聽見潛伴們驚呼一聲,哈哈~ 這流鈎造型的確嚇人,這時Julie跟大夥解釋流鈎的用途,不是拿來鈎魚啦~

Julie憑什麼把我分到她那一較不肉腳組?我今天才第一天?是我資料累積的氣瓶數夠多?是我剛去潛了浪大流強的Bligh Water?還是我一劈頭就說要去難讚點The Great White Wall (聽說是一片壯觀的白珊瑚牆)?後來才知,就是那根流鈎!後來Julie坦白跟我說,當她看到我的流鈎從裝備箱滾出來時,心想我這女人不是簡單的傢伙,儘管我低調表示只在帛琉用過兩次… 所以,她想辦法留住我,讓我繼續跟她潛… 畢竟遠從米國的Julie,離鄉背井,在此與世隔絕的花園小島開店做生意,不容易…

Julie介紹這潛的路徑、生態等注意事項

My dive guide, Julie

果然,Somosomo海峽蠻舒服的~ 沒什麼浪和流,第一潛就給我看到鯊魚! 開始思考我胃口是不是越來越大?看到鯊魚才過癮。這裡也是色彩豐富的花花世界~

這裡也有車磲貝

reef shark & garden eels!!! happy~

看來Julie真的想留住我!隔天分組分船各去不同潛點,潛導Julie、潛導助理Bakie真的帶我們三個去最有名的The Great White Wall, 我一開始表達希望去的... 超讚~ Julie噓聲說,別讓另一艘船的人知道,也別讓別的潛店知道,今天我們要去大白牆外,還有一個秘密潛點。而明天要Manta Ray清潔站啦~ (最好是!但去潛過石垣島、帛琉的我,比較沒那麼稀奇)

白色軟珊瑚來囉…

哎呀,背光啊~ 整片壯觀,但光線沒進來… 可惜…

The Great White Wall, it's 30 meters deep and lacking sunlight...

這魚是這邊的特有種,從沒看過這型,忘了名呀~

the unique species of the Somosomo Straight, what is its name?

這裡變五顏六色~

很多overhang可鑽~

the most beautiful coral overhangs I've ever seen

又是鑽洞,鑽來鑽去~ 喜歡這種樂趣!

怎冒泡泡? 原來下面洞穴有潛友正在鑽~也是特別景觀 ^_^

The bubbles were leaking from the under caves as some divers' went through the caves.

要用流鈎的潛點來了,潛導似乎擔心我們不夠過癮… 我用流鈎的經驗似乎給潛導壓力。第二潛,她拿出流鈎分大家… 我當然用自己的… 但是, 礁石上太多珊瑚,很難找到適合的地方勾。流強到把潛伴的流鈎繩拉斷! 啊我咧~ 不行就貼壁啊~

第一次用流鈎的地方,我以為會像帛琉那樣,會有一堆魚才是… 沒有耶~ 大家很瘋狂享受那強流,擺出飛起來的姿勢… 我則靠近壁,納悶著…

接著去一大片石珊瑚區,蠻讚~ 我們說像玫瑰,他們則說是包心菜(cabbage coral)

the most extensive cabbage coral area I've ever seen

第二次用流鈎的地方… 流更強!強到把一位潛伴的流鈎繩拉斷!我還是想靠近壁,不想飛~

DSC01316

我的想法是,斐濟潛水並不適合用流鈎,這裡到處是珊瑚、海扇,很容易破壞到,光是找個可鈎的礁石,花我不少時間和力氣。好不容易鈎好,咦~ 要等著看什麼?沒有像帛琉的大魚、鯊魚、拿破崙魚、蘇美魚… 這裡看到的,跟不用流鈎的地方一樣… 原來,他們是想要感受強流,飛起來的感覺,就說米國人好瘋狂啊~

其實,在斐濟潛了第五天,開始有點膩… 照片越拍越少… 花花綠綠的華麗海底世界不減,但我膩了… 於是… 心裡悄悄決定,夠了!明天不潛了,陪家人玩~

生命如此短暫,你把握、珍惜多少? 我總是積極追求、安排、實踐自己的夢想,但有時被動的讓別人決定、引導你,卻有更多的驚喜!我喜歡驚喜,surprise~

Robin's Bommie (Rainbow Reef) 07.04.2012

Just when I was thinking how spectacular The Great White Wall is, Julie gave David and Nadia dive hooks, and I used mine. The excitement went on~

Before we hooked and drifted in the strong currents, we had to find the right reef rock to hook and avoid damaging the corals. But it's too much coral on the reef to find the right place!!!

要用流鈎的潛點來了,潛導似乎擔心我們不夠過癮… ^_^

The Great White Wall (Rainbow Reef) 07.04.2012


This day our dive guide, Julie divided us into 2 groups taking 2 boats... Our group, only three of us, dived in the most famous dive site, The Great White Wall, which's so-called having strong currents but I really want to go...

Julie prepared dive hooks for us. Bakie, dive assistant also joined us. So exciting!

今天分組分船各去不同潛點,潛導Julie、潛導助理Bakie帶我們三個去最有名的The Great White Wall, 也是我一開始表達希望去的... 超讚~

Bonsai Passage (Rainbow Reef) 07.03.2012


My thinking, diving in this area, Rainbow Reef of Somosomo Straight is relaxing...
No waves, little currents...
So I could take more pictures easily and joyfully~ ^_^

來斐濟的第二潛區,Somosomo海峽,
沒流沒浪,好舒服喔~

Fish Factory (Rainbow Reef) 07.03.2012


Somosomo Straight, near the Taveuni Island, which is one of the 4 famous Fiji dive areas (Blight Water, Somosomo Straight, Beqa lagoon & Kadavu).
Weaker currents, more relaxing environment I felt... 7 nights on Taveuni Island are not enough...
Maybe it's not the greatest dive site I have been, I felt good in the only 4 dives here with my first female dive guide, Julei.
My dive guide, Julie is very nice, elegant and thoughtful. In fact, I would like to dive with her more~
Life is so short...

Somosomo Straight 是斐濟四大讚點之一 (我認為啦~) 
剛去了Blight Water(最讚的,我認為~) 此第二讚,我還期待著....
Julie,女潛導 (此生遇到第一個女潛導),細心、優雅、良善,跟著她感覺很好~ 
如我有多的時間,會想跟她久一點... 四潛,我覺得有點對不起她,但我時間有限...
生命如此短暫,你把握、珍惜多少?

Dream Maker (Sailstone Reef) 06.27.2012


Night dive, my 2nd time since I learned to dive.
Interesting it is, like playing hide-and-seek.
I felt safe seeing dive buddies and guides coming and going nearby.
And I knew if I would be alone in the dark, just look up the light attached on the bottom of our dive boat.

開始潛水以來的第二次夜潛,
很有趣像在玩捉迷藏~
也很安全,潛伴都在身邊跑來跑去,
如果我真的落單,抬頭就可以看到船底的閃燈了。

waking up the eel :P

Garden of Eden (Vatu I Ra Reef) 06.27.2012


Looking at the rushing big waves on G6, the famous dive site of Bligh White in distance and sighing...
We decided to dive Garden of Eden instead. Finally saw sharks!

After finishing today's 2 boat dives,
Ralph gave us another surprise,
" Let's have a night dive tonight! "
Totally agree, haha~  ^_^

Mellow Yellow (Vatu I Ra Reef) 06.27.2012


" Let's go to the Bligh! " Ralph said to the dive shop yesterday...
That's what I'm expecting!
Ralph like our boss spoke for us~
Bligh Water is located more far away from Wananavu. The currents and waves are usually strong!
I took a pill in order to fight against the big waves! Haha, I made it! It's worthy~

昨天潛完,Ralph像我們的領隊一樣,跟潛店要求今天去Bligh Water!
我來Wananavu就是要去Bligh Water啊~ 但不知自己潛水能力,讓潛店准不准帶,他們總說那裡浪很大流很強,危險什麼的...
吃了暈船藥,一切都值得啦~

Amazing Maze (Sailstone Reef) 06.26.2012


Really "Amazing"!
The most colorful fish and corals that I've ever seen! 
Hoping my photography could be better to present the beauty of it!

美麗多彩啦~
真希望我攝影技術再好些,
有流很難拍,多模糊了 XD

Pinnacles (Sailstone Reef) 06.26.2012


Currents? yes! Waves? exist!
But smaller than yesterday~ 
This time I ate my breakfast less and earlier~ ^_^

Our dive guide, Josh led us to dive through caves, tunnels and overhangs as usual.  So I think that's the must-do fun dive in Fiji underwater world.
I love this kind of diving, feeling myself like a fish~ ^_^

比起昨天流和浪都小些,這回我早餐吃早點、少點~
潛導很愛帶我們鑽洞、隧道、屋簷地形,
這似乎是斐濟潛水必做的活動,我還蠻喜歡的,覺得自己更像條魚~ ^_^

Fisherman's Rock (Charybdis Reef) 06.25.2012

Still, strong currents...
The amazing thing is the underwater landforms and coral are very variant and colorful!
I think that's the main feature of my Fiji dives.
 Less big fish and schools of fish than I've seen in my oversea dive tours... 

第二潛還是浪大流強 但很棒的是,海底地形、色彩多變豐富~ 
我覺這是斐濟潛點的最主要特色,
別於之前的外國潛旅,這裡較沒大魚、魚群! 

總覺你眼神充滿防備心,可我很愛看你、接近你啊~

Heaven's Gate (Charybdis Reef) 06.25.2012


My first dive in Fiji is just like the dive site name, entering the "Heaven"... 
the strong currents and big waves impressed me! 
Unfortunately my first puke on the dive boat is in Fiji, Je~~~~ 

我的斐濟第一潛點,叫天堂之門。
就給我大浪強流!
天啊~ 我的首 "船潛吐" 竟在斐濟!
