The Maldives in Hong Kong

According to the Hong Kong Coral Reef Survey, the coral coverage in Sharp Island is extensive, so it is named as Hong Kong’s Maldives. Diving activities are mainly concentrated on the West side of the island, with depths ranging from 1 to 9 meters, and mud bottoms below 9 meters.

Divers can easily discover leaf corals, crabs, cuttlefish, porgies fish and goby fish. Also, due to its convenient and sheltered location adjacent to Sai Kung Pier, it is one of the major dive sites for new divers in Hong Kong. 

The Northeastern paradise

Tung Ping Chau is the farthest northeastern island in Hong Kong and is renowned for its sedimentary rocks. Tung Ping Chau is also one of the Hong Kong Coastal Parks with its waters protected by the government. That is because it has two valuable habitats, coral reefs and kelps forests with rich marine biodiversity.  Besides, it is a rare site for Hong Kong divers to shore dive. Underwater, there are staghorn corals, porgies fish, stonefish and even lobsters. However, as it is rather remote, we suggest you check with the boat schedule when you plan your visit.
