With 2024 coming to an end, the anticipation is mounting for the upcoming year. Everyone is thinking of when and where they can get their first dives in 2025. Nights are filled with dreams of doing your final checks, putting on the mask and strapping on the fins, ready to do the giant stride and take your first breaths in the depths of the sea once again.
We have a big year planned with trips scheduled to a variety of destinations, domestic and international. Try some Fun new Dive locations or take that next course to advance your skills and knowledge. We offer bi-weekly boat dives and shore dives at a variety of dive sites in the northeast coast. Scuba diving in Taiwan is better than most would anticipate and continually getting more convenient as the years go by. If you want to experience what Taiwan has to offer, you can come to our website to lock in your next dive trip.
We will start the 2025 Scuba Diving season with a SPLASH! The first trip planned will be to Palau for 15 dives. It'll be for 7 days, 6 nights at one of the world's top dive destinations. Explore lush coral reefs, drop-off walls, sunken wrecks, the Blue Hole, and Blue Corner. Have the chance to swim among sharks, manta rays, napoleon wrasse, schools of barracudas, snappers, trevally, and much more! Book now to secure your spot on this amazing trip!
Next will be a trip to Coron, Philippines to visit a variety of Imperial Japanese Navy Wrecks from World War II. Coron is located in the northern part of the Province of Palawan. This is where a majority of the shipwrecks were located when the US Navy sabotaged the Japanese fleet in 1944. These wrecks have now become covered in coral reef and became a top notch dive destination for shipwrecks. Many of the wrecks are deeper than 18m, therefore, it is highly recommended to have or take the PADI Advanced Open Water and Deep Specialty courses, in order to be able to reach the depths necessary to see these amazing wrecks. Besides the wrecks, Coron is also well known for its crystal clear water, white sand beaches, and limestone cliffs.
In Taiwan, we plan boat dive trips to Turtle Island's rare underwater hot springs. With geysers spewing out hot bubbles from the ocean bed, and the sulphur covered water, it's a unique sight that's unique for any diver! The first Taiwanese Navy wrecks to be intentionally decommissioned and intentionally sunk was the Wan An Jian Wreck on the coast of Yilan County. Covered in whip coral and countless fish, this wreck is a sure crowd pleaser. The 1km long water outlet to the Longmen Power Plant in Fulong was fully built, but never turned on has now become a dive site they call, "The Cathdral" or "Sanctum". Here you'll enter a large 12m wide chamber that's houses soft coral, whip corals, and often lobsters. Surrounding the chamber are schools of batfish, porcupine puffers, axfish, and glassfish. These are a few of the many diverse kinds of diving that can be enjoyed just in the vicinity of New Taipei City.
Hopefully, you are as excited as we are for this upcoming season! Looking forward to making bubbles and new dive companions! The exhilaration of tracking down those amberjacks, octopi, peacock mantis shrimp, and flamboyant cuttlefish, of course, while practicing proper trim and buoyancy!
If it's been awhile and haven't dived in some time, have no fear, we can give you a refresher with our enhanced course. All of our courses are offered in English and Chinese.
