Wow, that's a lot of soft coral! It looks cold, what's the water temperature?

Hi Rocha :

The water temperature is warm in summer ( 27 ) , the only divable season ( June--Sept. ) . but cold water

in winter season ( 18--22 ) . The only diving style is by boat .

When I was on Okinawa we wore 5 mm full suits in the winter and bathing suits in the summer.

Diving in the winter was often like Victory at Sea.

Hey, thanks for sharing! Didn't expect that Yeh-liu to be diveable... The top side scenery is gorgeous, looks like the u/w view is just as beautiful. Might be in Taiwan in end Sep, may I know what is the usual visibility (Jun-Sep)? TIA.

The usual visibility this year ( 2010 ) is generally good in northern Taiwan ( 10-20 meters ), because no

any typhoon directly attack here , otherwise , it will be worse ( less than 10 meters ) after typhoon

attack .
