Ellen: Can we dive in Australia anywhere anytime we want?
埃伦:我们在澳大利亚能随时随地去潜水吗?
Jay: Absolutely not. Australia is such a huge country that it makes it hard to give accurate overall information about the conditions since it changes drastically from one destination to the other.
杰伊:当然不行。澳大利亚国家很大,各地之间的水文状况急剧变化,这样就不能掌握所有的水文情况。
Ellen: Do we have to take other things into consideration?
埃伦:我们潜水需要考虑很多事情吗?
Jay: Yes. There are a lot of things you need to consider including air temperature, average water temperature, average visibility, current and depth.
杰伊:是的。很多事情都需要考虑,其中包括气温、平均水温、平均能见度、水流状况和水深。
Ellen: That is a tough work. What is the suitable average water temperature?
埃伦:真的是很麻烦啊。那最适宜潜水的平均水温是多少?
Jay: The average water temperature ranges from 20℃ to 31℃ year round. In the south, during Winter, the water can get chilly!
杰伊:全年的平均水温是20到31度,南部冬天时节水会变得刺骨得凉!
Ellen: What about the average visibility?
埃伦:那平均能见度呢?
Jay: You can expect 15 to 20 meters on the local dive sites and up to 50 meters if you go on the offshore dive sites.
杰伊:岸边的能见度大约是15到20米,如果离岸边再远点的话大约是50米。
