Quarter Diving

Northeast Coast, Taiwan

We’ve spent a fair bit of time exploring Taiwan’s Northeast Coast, and the team at Quarter Diving are our top pick for getting into those local spots. They’re a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, which means they’re serious about teaching, but without any of the stuffiness. We love how genuinely enthusiastic they are, whether you’re there for an intro dive or doing your Instructor Development Course. Their local knowledge is simply unmatched. The real draw here is their deep understanding of the Northeast Coast’s surprisingly varied dive sites. Forget the usual tourist traps; Quarter Diving knows exactly when and where to find the best conditions. We'd suggest getting on their early morning boat dives to catch the sun filtering through the kelp forests around Longdong. The water, while cooler than the south, often brings in some fascinating nudibranchs and cuttlefish, especially in the spring. They’re great at spotting the smaller stuff, those little details you might swim right past. After a dive, their shop is a great spot to swap stories over a cup of tea, and they'll always point you towards the best local noodle shop. It's that personal touch that makes Quarter Diving feel more like diving with friends than with a business.
