There are also many large reefs scattered on the sandy bottom, and the seabed slowly drops. The reefs are mainly covered with stony corals and less soft corals, which is suitable for beginners and adults. Intermediate scuba diving. Geological environment｜ The formation of submarine hot springs may be due to the seawater seeping into the depths of the ground under nearby faults and being heated by geothermal heat into hot water. The pressure increases, and then gushes out from the cracks in the ground to form hot springs. The hot springs are exposed on the reefs in the intertidal zone. A tide pool is formed between the rocks, which disappears into the sea during high tide and emerges from the sea during low tide. The hot springs can change the water quality at any time, alternating between hot and cold, which is very interesting.
