Dive-site story
Located off the rugged headland of Bitou Cape in northern Taiwan, this offshore reef rises from a sandy seabed. Divers navigate across granite boulders, stepped ledges, and rocky gullies that attract varied subtropical marine life, though ocean swells and tidal currents require solid buoyancy control.
Submerged rocky formations featuring sea fans and soft coral patches
Macro photography opportunities among reef crevices and boulder overhangs
Occasional schooling pelagics passing the headland in open water
