Dive-site story
Situated along the dramatic eastern coastline of Green Island, Confucius Rock offers rugged underwater terrain formed by ancient volcanic activity. Giant basalt boulders, overhangs, and coral-encrusted spurs slope away from the shore into the open Pacific. The site is washed by clear oceanic waters, offering encounters with both resident reef critters tucked into crevices and larger pelagics cruising along the outer drop-offs.
Rugged volcanic rock formations and basalt overhangs
Expansive patches of hard corals and gorgonian sea fans
Regular encounters with foraging green sea turtles along the boulder slopes
