Dingbaisha

Also known as: Ding Baisha · Dengbaisa · 頂白沙 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan))

Dingbaisha lies on a promontory where tidal and coastal currents become strong and confused, so dive centres treat it as a drift dive for experienced divers. The terrain steps down like a staircase, with a heart-shaped hole whose entrance lies at about 10 m. The main scenery is at around 28 m, where large stands of sea fans and whip corals grow and pygmy seahorses may hide. On the way back a continuous reef slopes up through 24 m and 18 m, with snappers, anthias, pinecone fish and macro life such as nudibranchs and anemone shrimp. The shore path is rough and anglers use the spot, so Atoll Dive Center dives it by boat, and Twosevenths names winter as its season.
