Dive-site story
Baifu Bay sits along a sheltered inlet near Yalong Bay on Hainan Island. The underwater landscape features gently sloping coral gardens, rocky bommies, and sandy patches that harbor a variety of tropical South China Sea species. Thanks to calm surface waters inside the cove, it serves as a primary training and recreational diving ground for local operations.
Extensive hard coral formations mixed with soft coral patches
Sheltered bay topography that protects divers from heavy open-ocean swell
Frequent encounters with territorial damselfish and anemone colonies
Location
