Fish Feeding Area

Also known as: Houbihu Left Side · 餵魚區 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan)) · 後壁湖餵魚區 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan)) · 後壁湖左側餵魚區 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan))

The Fish Feeding Area is a large colony of warty Pocillopora coral standing in the sand, a formation that is uncommon in Kenting and shelters many fish. Divers enter from the shore south of the fishing harbour, cross shallow stony corals with fire coral, then follow a steeper reef slope to around 10 m. Since the protected area was set up in 2005, fish numbers have grown, with damselfish, four-line snappers, sweetlips and groupers that come close to divers. A few large giant trevally that swim alongside divers are the stars of the site. Taiwan Dive Center asks divers not to feed the fish despite the name.
