Badaiwan - Green Island
Badaiwan offers a pleasant drift along a sloping reef, often filled with schools of fusiliers and the occasional green sea turtle cruising past. We usually spot moray eels tucked into the crevices and a good variety of nudibranchs if you slow down. It’s a solid pick for divers looking for a relaxed dive with consistent marine life, particularly if you appreciate the smaller stuff alongside larger pelagics.
