Dive-site story
Along the rugged cliffs of Longdong Cape in northeastern Taiwan, submerged sandstone blocks form swim-throughs, vertical crevices, and vaulted chambers illuminated by sunlight filtering through overhead rock fissures. The terrain descends from boulder fields near the rocky entry into slopes and sandy channels.
Sandstone arches and cavernous swim-throughs
Light beams piercing ceiling fissures into rock chambers
Macro life sheltering within crevices and encrusting sponges
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Calm water prevails before the northeast winter monsoon drives heavy swell into the cape.
