Dive-site story
Located along the rugged northeast coast of Taiwan in Ruifang, the waters surrounding Shen'ao Fishing Port feature a mix of volcanic boulders, submerged reef terraces, and sandy patches. Divers frequently access the outer reefs and rocky channels flanking the headland, where underwater topography mirrors the dramatic sea-sculpted sandstone formations found onshore.
Diverse macro life nestled among rocky crevasses and sea anemones
Spawning cuttlefish aggregations over the sandy flats in late spring
Dynamic underwater rock formations and natural swim-throughs formed by coastal erosion
Location
