半分訪問を計画するために知っておくべきことすべて
The ideal time is the dry season, between May and October. The temperatures are very pleasant (22-26°C), the humidity is lower, the water has maximum visibility for diving and there is no significant presence of poisonous jellyfish. In addition, between July and September you can spot humpback whales on their migration.
If you visit the region between November and May, always wear a stinger suit when swimming in the open sea or on beaches without a protective net due to the presence of dangerous jellyfish. Strictly follow the 'don't touch anything' rule underwater to protect the fragile coral ecosystem.
Wi-Fi available in airports, hotels and city centers in Cairns, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach. On the high seas or remote reefs there is no coverage.
During jellyfish season (November to May), rent a lycra stinger suit on the tour boat itself before jumping into the water.
Only use 'Reef-Safe' sunscreens (biodegradable and oxybenzone free) to avoid damaging corals.
Remember the medical rule of not flying in an airplane or going to high altitude areas for at least 18-24 hours after scuba diving.
Book ferry transfers from Cairns to Fitzroy Island or Green Island in advance, especially in peak season.
Take advantage of the seafood buffets included on excursions to the Outer Reef platforms to taste local fish in the middle of the ocean.
Dine on the Cairns Esplanade promenade to sample the day's catch at the various seaside bistros.
Never step on coral or collect shells or fragments as souvenirs. Maintain neutral buoyancy during the dive so as not to hit the reef structure.
In Australia, tipping is not mandatory, although 10% is valued for excellent service in restaurants or diving guides.
