About this dive site

This dive site, Beauty Cave, is located on the picturesque northwest coast of Xiaoliuqiu. Known for its dramatic coral limestone formations and stunning coastal views, the area has been shaped by centuries of natural forces. Underwater, the site comprises a mix of reef and sandy slopes, offering diverse exploration. While there isn't a specific historical narrative for the dive site itself, the surrounding geology tells a story of wind and wave erosion.

The marine environment at Beauty Cave is vibrant, supporting a wide array of life. Divers can frequently encounter green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles, along with impressive schools of barracuda. For those with a keen eye for macro life, nudibranchs, lionfish, garden eels, damselfish, and even elusive frogfish can be spotted among the reef structures.

The site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with an average depth of 10 meters and a maximum of 21 meters. Snorkelers can also enjoy the rich marine life in the shallower areas. The best time to visit is during calm weather to fully appreciate both the underwater beauty and the dramatic coastal scenery.
