Dive-site story
Located off the western coast of Green Island, Atlantis is named for a scatter of submerged concrete blocks and collapsed pier structures that resemble the ruins of an ancient sunken city. Corals have heavily colonized the massive angular slabs, turning an artificial debris field into shelter for reef fish and macro life.
Sunken pier blocks and tetrapods creating swim-throughs and structural habitats
Green sea turtles grazing along the algae-covered concrete slabs
Clear oceanic visibility typical of the Kuroshio Current

Seasonality
Spring through autumn brings the calmest seas and warm water, though the west-coast location provides shelter from winter northeast monsoons.
