潜点: The Lara

关于 The Lara

The Lara is the remnant of a 137-meter cargo vessel that became stranded on the northern edge of Jackson Reef in 1982. Initially, the ship rested intact on the reef, but it was later salvaged in the mid-1990s, causing large sections to sink. Today, its ghostly remains lie against the reef, just west of the exposed parts, marking a site considered one of the Red Sea's most challenging and exclusive wreck dives. Diving the Lara typically begins by descending near the surface wreckage. Divers follow the reef contour to the left, reaching approximately 45 meters where the deeper sections of the wreck begin to emerge. The mast and what were likely workshop areas are visible at 48 meters. With bulkheads removed during salvage operations, some sections allow for penetration. The wreck lies on its starboard side, with the stern and a large, intact propeller found around 55 meters. Other parts of the superstructure are scattered at even greater depths. While specific marine life directly on the wreck isn't detailed, Jackson Reef itself, where the Lara rests, is known for its healthy hard and soft corals, including large gorgonian fans, sea whips, and vibrant red anemones. The nutrient-rich currents often attract pelagic species such as barracuda, oceanic whitetip, and grey reef sharks. During the summer months, from June to September, schooling scalloped hammerhead sharks are frequently observed in the northern area of Jackson Reef, and whale sharks have also been sighted. This dive is highly dependent on weather conditions due to its exposed location on Jackson Reef's northern side. It is considered an advanced, deep wreck dive, often requiring extended range or technical diving certifications. Many divers find completing this challenging dive to be a significant accomplishment, experiencing a site few others have witnessed.

条件与水流

“劳拉号”沉船位于杰克逊礁，这里有持续的水流，通常从南向北流向亚喀巴湾 (Gulf of Aqaba)。该潜点极易受天气条件影响，尤其是在其北侧，这可能使潜水变得具有挑战性并依赖于天气。潜水员通常会利用水流，沿着礁石的陡壁进行放流潜水。入水通常采用活水船投放（live boat drop），预计会有强劲的水流，尤其是在礁石的最东端附近。由于沉船的深度（从约45米开始，船尾在55米，其他部分更深），加上潜在的强流和暴露的条件，此潜点推荐给经验丰富和技术潜水员。气体计划必须考虑到深潜和可能延长的水底时间，潜水员应为变化的能见度做好准备，虽然能见度通常很好，但可能会有波动。
