Dabaisha
Green Island · Taiwan
A boat dive off Green Island's southern coast where a white sand bottom rises into soft coral pinnacles and small caverns. Schools of copper sweepers fill the overhangs and collapsed cave ceilings let shafts of light through, while green turtles are seen through much of the warmer season. One of the flagship sites for diving in Taiwan.
