Life bucket list - Diving in Orchid Island, Taiwan: Explore Taiwan's most beautiful underwater world

Lanyu is located in the Pacific Ocean southeast of Taiwan and is known for its pristine beauty and rich marine ecology. This small island is an excellent diving destination, attracting diving enthusiasts from all over the world. Now, let’s explore the diving trip of Lantau! Due to the typhoon, the original four-day trip was shortened to 24 hours, but accompanied by a professional Hong Kong instructor, we were able to dive to 6 gas cylinders in a short journey. There are two boats from Houbi Lake to Lantau every day. We took the 3pm boat and arrived in Lantau in two hours. There is a place to rent a motorcycle next to the pier. If you have an international driving license, it is very convenient to rent a motorcycle for excursions. There is only one road in the whole island, and you can go around the island even without looking at the map. Day 1: We headed to the local dive center and bed and breakfast to register. Take 30 minutes to organize your personal diving gear (we all bring our own equipment) and immediately board the boat to both dive sites to dive. The guide said that due to the typhoon, the water quality has become turbid, but there is still 30 meters of visibility🤪 This is a distance that is not available in Hong Kong's big blue water😅 You can enjoy colorful corals, colorful tropical fish and other marine life in Lantau. On the first day, we encountered sea turtles. Boat dive 2 gas bottles, eat a snack, then go night dive, night creatures more than day, there are all kinds of sea rabbits, cheerleader crabs, etc., of course, not less than blue tears, just turn off the flashlight and wave, you will see the sky full of blue stars The next day: For the fourth gas cylinder, we chose to dive in the morning and set off at 06:30 in the morning. As soon as we got off the water, we saw the sea wolves and couldn't help but admire the beauty of nature. We headed to a deep-sea dive site. The water depth here can reach more than 30 meters, making it a paradise for diving enthusiasts. But the most special thing about Yu is the underwater mountainous terrain, with reefs covered with corals, towering into the clouds, and sandy land composed of gravel, which is like flying in the sky, looking at the majestic mountains and rivers. When you swim into the canyon, you will see many large sea fans. Remember to control your fins when swimming over them, so as not to damage them! After your diving trip to Lantau, you can explore the local culture and natural landscape on the island. Lanyu is a settlement of Taiwan's indigenous peoples, where you can experience the local cultural traditions and cuisine.
