Dive-site story
Located near the cooling water outflow of the nuclear power plant in Kenting, this sheltered coastal site features a gradual reef slope transitioning into sandy flats. Warmer discharge water feeds hard coral growth along the concrete coastal structures and surrounding subsea topography. Divers frequently encounter resident sea turtles resting along the reef ledges and active reef fish schooling around massive coral heads.
Extensive sea anemone gardens populated by multiple clownfish colonies
Frequent encounters with green sea turtles browsing the shallow reef
Dense hard coral formations thriving alongside the shoreline infrastructure
