Dive-site story
Located along the rugged sandstone coastline of Longdong on Taiwan's northeast coast, 咖啡廳 (The Café) is a well-known shore dive recognized for its rocky seabed and macro life. Divers scramble over coastal boulders to reach the water before descending along gently shelving rock slabs that give way to sandy patches and scattered reef structure. Coastal swells can complicate entry and exit, making careful timing essential.
Diverse sea slug populations tucked into boulder crevices
Dynamic underwater sandstone topography sculpted by ocean currents
Occasional encounters with hunting cuttlefish over the sandy fringe
