Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered southwestern shoreline of Green Island, Shilang serves as the island's primary hub for shore diving and training. Divers navigate a concrete walkway across the intertidal reef flat before descending over hard coral gardens, sandy channels, and artificial features including a functioning underwater mailbox shaped like a seahorse.
