Dive-site story
Situated along the exposed eastern coastline of Sai Kung Peninsula, Tai Long Tung Wan features rocky reefs flanking a wide sandy bay. Large volcanic boulders slope down into the sand, creating crevices where benthic organisms shelter from ocean swells. Because the bay directly faces the South China Sea, diving conditions rely heavily on calm summer weather when easterly wind waves subside.

Seasonality
