Why go

Green Island sits in the Pacific Ocean off Taiwan, a wall and reef system where dives drop from shallow tops into deeper water. Dives run to 40 m with around 25 m visibility, moderate currents and sea temperatures of 24–29°C. Marine highlights include turtles, gorgonian fans and sharks. Best season is Apr–Oct, typically reached by boat. A good choice for divers with some experience. Open Water certification is sufficient for most sites here. With dives to 40 m, comfort at depth is recommended.
