Dive-site story
Located off Nanwan in Kenting National Park, this offshore boat dive centers around twin submerged coral pinnacles featuring cavernous swim-throughs and overhangs. The rock formations rise dramatically from a sand bottom, attracting pelagic fish and sheltering macro critters within deep crevices. Ocean currents here can pick up quickly depending on the tide, requiring good buoyancy control around the steep topography.
Dramatic twin pinnacle topography with underwater archways and swim-throughs
Dense clusters of sea whips and gorgonian sea fans along the deeper drop-offs
Schools of barracuda and trevally cruising in the open water between pinnacles
