Among Taiwan's outlying islands, which comes to mind when you think of the best visibility?

Lanyu, also known as "Island of the People," is not only rich in Tao culture, but its underwater world is even more captivating.

I'll never forget my first glimpse of Lanyu. The moment I stepped onto the pier, I was awestruck by the incredibly clear, deep blue water.

Whether it's your first visit or an annual pilgrimage, Lanyu is a destination no diver can easily resist.

Trip Highlights

Highlight ❶ Comfortable, Newly Renovated Accommodation (2024)

Due to Lanyu's remote location, while it helps preserve its pristine environment, the island's accommodation options can be basic. This trip features a newly renovated guesthouse that's very diver-friendly. We'll be booking the entire guesthouse, ensuring a comfortable and unforgettable experience for everyone.

Highlight ❷ Consistently Excellent Visibility (20m+)

Blessed by the Kuroshio Current, Lanyu enjoys consistently clear water with visibility often exceeding 20 meters. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter visibility of 40 meters or more! Diving in such pristine conditions will redefine your underwater visual experience.

Highlight ❸ Cliffs, Drop-offs, and Giant Sea Fans

Among Taiwan's many islands, Lanyu boasts the most dramatic underwater topography. Just a hundred meters from shore, the depth plummets to around 100 meters!

This unique geographical feature has created many extraordinary underwater landscapes. Underwater caves, arches, large fissures, and dramatic drop-offs are all sights rarely seen when diving around the main island.

Weather and sea conditions permitting, the famous Badaiwan Wreck and the Four Ridges Drift Dive are also must-do dives on any Lanyu trip!
