Dive-site story
Little Palm Beach, known locally as Siu Tsung Lam, is one of Hong Kong's primary shore-diving hubs located along the Clear Water Bay peninsula. Divers enter from the rocky beach and follow a gentle slope transitioning from shallow rubble and scattered hard coral heads into sandy patches. The site serves as a dependable training ground and a productive macro hunting spot, protected from heavy oceanic swells under typical seasonal wind patterns.
Reliable shore access with a gentle slope suitable for skill checkouts and buoyancy practice
Macro photography opportunities along the sand-rubble margins and rocky breakwaters
Sheltered bay conditions that remain diveable across much of the year
