Speaking of domestic diving, many people may first think of Sanya. It is said that the visibility on the seabed reaches more than eight meters, and the coral reefs on the seabed are better preserved than in other areas. But besides Sanya, where else can you dive in China? The editor has put together a guide for everyone, so just follow my introduction.
Some diving sites in Sanya Yalong Bay Aegean Sea Diving
Yalong Bay is the cleanest, clearest and most attractive of the three bays in Sanya, and of course it is also suitable for diving. Not only is the water here clear, but the underwater world is also wonderful. Don’t miss a close contact with the indigenous inhabitants of the underwater world of Yalong Bay! Diving on Wuzhizhou Island
Wuzhizhou Island, known as the “Maldives of China”, has extremely high visibility: it’s soft Sea anemones, colorful clown fish, sword-wielding sea urchins, chubby sea cucumbers, lobsters and colorful tropical fish.
Things you must know when diving on Wuzhizhou Island:
1. When diving on Wuzhizhou Island, you must bargain hard to avoid being ripped off.
2. We highly recommend Wuzhizhou’s more combative and tense night dive! However, the price of night dive is negotiable and is usually twice that of day dive. Diving in West Island
West Island, also known as Hawksbill Island, has become one of the most popular places for its charming coral reefs and clear water. The western sea area is a diving area with hundreds of imported diving equipment and instructors. Be sure to resist the tricks of the instructors, point your thumb down and gesture: Shut up, I’m going to dive! Dadong Coast Diving
Dadong Coast in Luhuitou and Yulingang It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and rows of emerald green coconut groves surrounding the beach. There are no reefs in the Dadonghai Sea. The water is clear and the sand is flat, with light winds and gentle waves. It is like spring all year round. It is the most ideal natural seaside swimming pool in southern my country. Compared with other diving sites, this place is more suitable for shore diving. However, the depth of the dive should be determined according to the physical condition. Generally, the appropriate depth for the first dive is 2-8 meters. Corals have their own requirements for growth, such as depth, light, water temperature, etc. If it is too deep, the species will not be rich.
Except for typhoons, diving in Sanya is suitable in any season.
If you don’t want to go to Sanya, there are still these places where you can dive
China has a long coastline, but most of it is located in temperate zones, the water temperature is low, and the underwater life is not as good as in tropical waters. Rich. In addition, most of the sea area has been polluted, and the visibility of the sea water is low. Even in Sanya and the east coast of Hainan, although the situation is better than in the northern seas, large areas of offshore coral reefs have actually died, which is far from comparable to many well-known diving spots in Southeast Asia.
As for inland waters, the caves in Guangxi, the ancient underwater city of Qiandao Lake, and the Panjiakou Underwater Great Wall are unique landscapes in my country and are worth exploring, but they are not suitable for beginners. Qiandao Lake
The ancient underwater city of Qiandao Lake, "Lion City", has been sleeping underwater for more than half a century. In recent years, it has become a hot topic due to the exposure of a number of beautiful underwater photos, and has been dubbed "China's version of Yate". Landis" reputation.
The Lion City, built 1,300 years ago, is located 26-40 meters underwater and is well preserved. It has 5 city gates and towers, 265 arches, and an overall area of ??62 football fields. The natural light almost disappears below 28 meters. When the diving light is turned on, the fine carvings on the wooden beams are revealed, which seem to have not been eroded by water flow and time.
However, diving tourism in the Lion City is still blank and is not encouraged by the tourism authorities. In order to protect this newly designated provincial cultural relic protection unit last year, staff patrol here all year round to discourage diving activities in the Lion City area. The Underwater Great Wall
The Panjiakou Great Wall in Qianxi County, Hebei Province was built 500 years ago. It originally stood on the ground like the Great Wall in other places. In 1981, the "Diverting Luan River to Tianjin" project built the 80-meter-deep Panjiakou Reservoir, and both the Xifengkou Ancient Great Wall Fortress and Panjiakou Castle were submerged in the water. Even in summer, the water temperature in the reservoir is much lower than that of the sea water. The water temperature below 20 meters is only 7-8 degrees, and the visibility is only 3-8 meters. It is recommended to wear a waterscuba dry suit and go with an experienced diving club.
Boundary Island
As more and more people go diving in Sanya, five-star dive shops have appeared in Sanya, providing many diving course trainings including PADI, and of course also providing experience diving and experienced diving. Certified diving guide. Attractions such as Dadonghai, Yalong Bay, and Wuzhizhou Island are often overcrowded, so divers have no choice but to go further to Bianjiezhou Island in the north of Lingshui County. Common underwater species here include staghorn coral, ganoderma coral, brain coral, sea hare, starfish, sponge, sea cucumber, lion fish, etc., as well as artificially raised dolphins and sea turtles.
Bijiezhou Island is the dividing line between the subtropics and the tropics. The water temperature in winter is 20-24 degrees Celsius, so May-October when the water temperature is higher is more suitable for diving. Visibility is also higher in summer, occasionally reaching 25 meters. Fengshan
Cave diving in China has only started in the past ten years. Fengshan, Guangxi, with its rich karst landforms, has begun to attract the attention of caving enthusiasts at home and abroad. In 2009, divers from eight countries, including New Zealand and Australia, went on two underwater expeditions to Sanmenhai Sea and dived to a depth of 94 meters, setting the first Chinese mainland cave diving depth and exploration record. In addition to Fengshan, Leye Tiankeng is also the leading cave diving site in Guangxi. However, these places are not suitable for divers without cave diving training.
I have not dived many places in China, only in Qingdao, Beijing (Panjiakou Reservoir, Mapao Spring, Jinhai Lake), Hainan Sanya, Shenzhen (Tai'ao, Yangmeikeng), Guangxi, Yunnan Fu Dive into the Fairy Lake. The price is not much different. FD is basically around 350-500/bottle. Diving time
If you wear a wet suit, the diving sites in Sanya and Shenzhen, Hainan are basically available all year round, but you cannot go into the water in the event of a typhoon, just like any open water area in the world.
Guangxi is basically open from February to November every year, but be careful to avoid the rainy season. Please confirm the weather information before going.
Fuxian Lake in Yunnan is basically available from April to November every year.
Qingdao, Beijing, general FD, approximately from June to October every year.
The above-mentioned time is only approximate. The specific time of advance or delay mainly depends on the weather of the year and the weather conditions before and after you go.
If you wear a dry suit, it will depend on the material of your dry suit, the thickness of your base suit, and the model of your regulator, basically regardless of the season in any of the above places. Just confirm the hydrology, wind, waves, visibility, and ocean currents before going. Wait for the situation to allow entering the water. Tips
Whether it is offshore or inland, the domestic diving industry has just started. Many diving sites lack necessary safety measures and professional diving supporting services. The people who take tourists into the water may only be fishermen without professional qualifications. , the safety risks are greater. Before participating in diving, please be sure to fully understand the safety conditions of the local dive sites, and do not take chances and risk yourself.
