点评:We hired an excellent boat handler for two long trips (reviewed elsewhere) and were totally satisfied. The final day, at the guide’s suggestion, we signed up for a night snorkel trip to see the “light from underwater” (bio-luminescent fish). – big mistake. Before sunset we motored to a great little cove with at least a dozen boats, huge crowd stirring up sand, spoiling the “amazingly clear water) and occluding the view of spectacular coral (and fish). The redeeming feature: a 5 or 6 foot long sea snake, striped electric blue and purple, lying on a coral formation. We then motored out to a place with a good view of a so-so sunset. Even though the sun sank into a bank of clouds, it was a pleasant quiet interlude. Then we proceeded to the “main attraction,” another little cove, already 15 boats there and more coming, maybe 100 tourists in all. Once it was fully dark, we were invited to get in the water to see the bio-luminscent fish. (Kind of piscene fireflies.) I almost said no, but here I was, so I went through with it. The place is obviously famous; it can't possibly be the only cove here with the fish version of fire-flies but it's where everybody goes - 15 or 16 boat-loads; I saw one flash I'm sure was a fish, two maybes, mostly 100 legs, arms, and butts, lots of flashlights and boat lights. It was probably a 5 star attraction 50 years ago, in a less populated era. Zero stars now. Maybe in off-season it would be okay, otherwise it was a waste of an otherwise pleasant evening – and $100. I’m sure back when the place wasn’t crawling with tourists this was probably a magical experience. Now it’s the stuff of travel nightmares. Do not go!
翻译:我们聘请了一位优秀的船员进行两次长途旅行(在其他地方评论过)并且非常满意。最后一天,在向导的建议下,我们报名参加了夜间浮潜之旅,以观看“水下之光”(生物发光鱼)。 - 大错。日落前,我们带着至少十几艘船驶向一个巨大的小海湾,人群激起沙子,破坏了“清澈得令人惊讶的水”,并遮挡了壮观的珊瑚(和鱼)的视野。救赎特征:一条 5 或 6 英尺长的海蛇,呈电蓝色和紫色条纹,躺在珊瑚礁上。然后我们开车去了一个可以看到马马虎虎日落的好地方。即使太阳落入了云层,这也是一个令人愉快的安静插曲。然后我们前往“主要景点”,另一个小海湾,那里已经有 15 艘船,而且还会有更多船只驶来,总共可能有 100 名游客。天完全黑后,我们被邀请下水去看生物发光鱼。 (有点像鱼萤火虫。)我差点说不,但我来了,所以我坚持了下来。这个地方显然很有名;它不可能是这里唯一有萤火虫鱼的海湾,但它是每个人都去的地方——15 或 16 艘船;我看到一个闪光我确定是一条鱼,两个可能,大部分是 100 条腿、手臂和屁股,还有很多手电筒和船灯。它可能是 50 年前的 5 星级景点,在一个人口稀少的时代。现在零星。也许在淡季还可以,否则就浪费了一个愉快的夜晚——还有 100 美元。我敢肯定,当这个地方没有游客时,这可能是一次神奇的体验。现在它成了旅行的噩梦。不要去!
