再转点信息过来：<br/>
姐夫说的价格我也看到了。最便宜的是四人间，不过liveaboard船潜的话估计就不是拼房，而是拼舱啦。<br/>
又看了下考DM的价格，包含PPB Speciality和3D/2N Liveaboard还有实习，一共是三周，1660AU$。看来可以考虑。在红海学的话成本比较低，不过一起大约要6个星期(天天还要拖15公斤的铅游千米)。Koh Tao最便宜，不过觉得没什么意思。<br/>
<br/>
<strong>Some day trips to the reef are available from Cairns and Port Douglas diving operators. These trips involve about 2 hours boat travel in each direction and will cost $170-$200. Most operators do three day liveaboards to the reefs east of Cairns, starting about about $500 for 3 days diving and 2 nights on the boat, meals included. Snorkelers can travel on these trips for reduced prices, but check first about the suitability of their sites for snorkeling. Serious divers generally prefer the five or seven day liveaboards visiting the Coral Sea to the north.<br/>
<br/>
Most boat trips, particularly liveaboards, <span style="color: FF0000;">may be up to 40% cheaper if booked at the last possible moment on standby rates</span>. A certain amount of risk is involved in doing this: you must arrive at the destination hoping that a booking will become available, you need to be able to be somewhat flexible about your date of departure, and you may not be able to travel with your first choice operator. However, most divers report that they are able to find at least one standby trip when they try this. Dive travel agents may also be able to advise you.<br/>
<br/>
Some of the islands have a fringing reef, and it is possible to dive or snorkel from shore.<br/>
<br/>
The southern part of the reef off Townsville is known mostly for the wreck of the Yongala, visited on both liveaboards and day trip operators from Townsville, Ayr and Magnetic Island. The Yongala sank in 1911 in about 30 metres (100 feet) of water. As the bottom is otherwise featureless in this area, it is a haven for fish and coral. However, as the site is unprotected many trips have to be cancelled if weather conditions are not favourable.<br/>
</strong><br/>
<br/>
What will the weather be like?<br/>
This is probably the question we are asked most!! As you can appreciate we will not try and predict the weather any more then a couple of days away. We have a 'Weather" page. Here you will find the general weather conditions for the year, including temperature and rainfall. You can make your decision based on the same information we have.<br/>
<br/>
Please bear in mind if the airfares are on 'special' and it seems like a good deal - there is usually a reason. (Maybe the Wet Season!!)<br/>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
When is the best time of year to come to Australia?<br/>
It depends which part of Australia you are visiting and what kind of weather you are after. In the Tropical North, summer is extremely hot and humid and can be very wet. Please look at the weather page to be better informed.<br/>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
What are 'box jellyfish' / stingers?<br/>
Box Jellyfish are pale blue and transparent and bell or cubed shaped with four distinct sides, hence box jellyfish.<br/>
Measuring up to 20 cm along each side of the cube or bell, the Box Jellyfish has up to as many as 15 tentacles on each corner which can be 3 metres in length with up to 5,000 nematocysts (stinging cells).<br/>
<br/>
The season for the Box Jellyfish starts with the onset of the wet across the top of northern Australia, usually around October and lasts until April. Further south along the northern Queensland or northern Western Australia coast the season is usually from November to March. They sometimes appear further south a few weeks beyond the close of the season.<br/>
<br/>
The arrival of the Box Jellyfish close to the beach prevents swimming in the Surf unless the beaches have the protective stinger nets installed or you wear a purpose designed swim costume.<br/>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
What is the 'Outer Reef'?<br/>
All similar yet all very different, most reefs fall into three categories:<br/>
<br/>
1. fringing reefs, which occur around the edges of the continental islands that were once a part of the mainland.<br/>
<br/>
2. ribbon or outer, barrier reefs which grow on the edge of the continental shelf.<br/>
<br/>
3. platform or patch reefs, which support a cay, or island formed by sedimentary debris swept onto the reef.<br/>
<br/>
One of the major reasons the reef holds such a fascination for scientists and tourist alike is its infinite variety. Some reefs are a little more than a few thousand metres in area while others could be spread over 120 square kilometres. Shapes vary from round, oblong, crescent and indescribable. Some of the very outer reefs are up to 25 kilometres long. At low tide some of the reefs expose themselves while others remain fully submerged. An aerial fly over is a must to appreciate the full extent of the reef.<br/>
<br/>
About 2800 species of fish are known to live in the reef region. Of the 500 or so species of reef building corals found throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, about 350 are known to be on the Barrier Reef. It could be decades before scientists have a complete list of all the plants and animals found on any one reef. Many species are still to be identified and named. This clearly shows a staggering diversity of life.<br/>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>
<br/>
Do I need special insurance when diving?<br/>
Some Companies do require you take diving special insurance while with others it is not compulsory. We strongly recommend you have travel insurance which covers you for cancellation of trip due to illness, poor weather, travel delays, lost luggage and legal costs.<br/>
<br/>
Travel insurance may not cover diving accidents and treatment/evacuation. We recommend getting separate insurance like that offered by DAN.<br/>

那就等吧，AirAsiaX的飞机正常情况下明年9月份才能到位呢，还得培训空勤人员，办空管手续，试运行等等，等航班运作起来，说不定就是明年年底的事情了。再说了，空客那边也是靠不住的，万一飞机届时到位不了，还得推迟。而且甘泉航空的欧洲线应该也正在运作。此外现在Virgin Atlantic和国航联运，国航的飞机，从北京上海走都有往返三千多RMB的机票，我已经给家长买了一张。这个也已经已经够便宜了。<br/>
<img src="/data/attachment/forum/uploads/201507061652202051.jpg.gif" /><br/>
<br/>
大家就不要哭了，要么像楼上的辞职出去玩，要么就只有认命，我估计在职的谁都没法说服老板请假三周。此外也不可能一年的假都用来菲华，所以大堡礁的事情只能慢慢看，定论是不可能的。方案么大家也说了，飞墨尔本然后自驾北上，到Cairns去liveaboard。<br/>
<br/>
欧洲这边反正有我在，来玩都欢迎，帮得上忙的都会帮。有时间的话会地陪，我没去过的地方也有兴趣同去。我想廉航明年应该会有的，三周就三周吧，只要机票便宜，反正可以经常来。小索要来拍人文片最好还是夏天，10月中到3月中来就没什么意思了，光线比较差，日长短，天阴，到处灰蒙蒙光秃秃的。<br/>

继续讨论大堡礁。之前提到从port douglas出发，从网上信息来看可能不太现实。我目前觉得比较合适的是下面这三个行程。价格均为澳币。<br/>
<br/>
行程一：<br/>
5 Day Cod Hole & Coral Sea<br/>
大致行程<br/>
潜船：Taka，最大载客30人<br/>
双人间不包装备1380<br/>
价格明细<br/>
<br/>
行程二：<br/>
3D/3N COD HOLE & RIBBON REEFS<br/>
大致行程及价格<br/>
潜船：Spirit of Freedom，最大载客26人<br/>
双人间不包装备1525<br/>
价格明细<br/>
<br/>
行程三：<br/>
5D/4N Cooktown, Cod Hole and Ribbon Reefs Expedition<br/>
大致行程<br/>
潜船：Nimrod Explorer，最大载客18人<br/>
四人间不包装备1195<br/>
价格明细<br/>
<br/>
二相对时间短，价格高，性价比比较低。一和三价差不大，都可以考虑。目前看得到的好处是三有group discount，而且如果凑得够人的话，可以商量包船。<br/>
<br/>
Bio说的对，定论是不太会有的，就当做前期的功课了。<br/>

貌似方案三很不错，价格可以接受的。就是链接有点问题。<br/>
不大清楚有没有潜导，有些船上dive guide要另外算钱的。<br/>
18个人，要是有3-4个rescue级别，2个左右自己的DM就理想了。大堡礁很浅的，就是十几米的样子。<br/>
大堡礁liveaboard名声好的就是姐夫说的这三艘，容量有限。像国庆节这种时段包船，估计和Kapalai一样很早就要决定了。因为很可能还有国内的俱乐部和潜水中心要包船的。<br/>
去当然是要去的，不过明年时间紧，我要去估计就是2009年了。<br/>

dive guide应该不收费，好像是每潜都有guide，但跟不跟自己决定。<br/>
<br/>
现在船宿的价格正以每年100AUD的速度涨价，太厉害了！<br/>
