Yanguang Reef

Also known as: Yimgwang Reef · 艷光礁 (Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan))

Reaching Yanguang Reef takes a swim of two to three hundred metres over sand along a guide line, after a rough entry path marked in red by local divers. The sand is home to garden eels and well-camouflaged blue-spotted stingrays. Then a large rock appears suddenly and divers find themselves surrounded by fish, including anthias. The change from bare sand to busy reef is what makes the dive memorable. Hard corals and nudibranchs round out the life on the rock.
