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.

Clear water and the chance of gorgonian fans — what more do you want?
Reliable conditions and plenty of variety — I rate it highly for guiding.
Worth the journey — the Apr–Oct window is the time to go.
