Dive-site story
Situated on the sheltered southwest coast of Green Island, Shilang features paved walkway access across the tidal flat into clear waters. The seafloor transitions from healthy hard coral gardens into sandy channels dotted with massive Porites coral formations. Divers navigate past underwater art installations, including the famous seahorse-shaped postbox, before descending along gently sloping reef structures.
Submerged seahorse postbox where divers can drop waterproof postcards
Massive Porites microatolls and scattered bommies rising from sandy bottom channels
Gentle reef slope populated by resident green sea turtles and sea snakes

Seasonality
