Dive-site story
Situated along Taiwan's northeast coast directly in front of an elementary school, this sheltered cove opens into Mao'ao Bay. Divers enter through a partially walled tidal pool before swimming out to scattered rocky reefs and sand channels. The site serves as a popular training ground during the warmer summer months when ocean swells subside.
Protected natural sea pool entry area ideal for equipment checks and skills practice
Macro photography opportunities among rocky crevices and soft coral heads

Seasonality
Summer brings calm sea states and warmer water, whereas winter northeast monsoons generate hazardous surf and strong coastal surge.
