ORIENTAL LADY (STERN SECTION) - Northeast Coast

The Oriental Lady’s stern section is our go-to when we want something straightforward and endlessly fascinating on Taiwan’s Northeast Coast. It’s a shallow wreck, barely 5 metres deep, making it perfect for an extended dive or even some relaxed freediving. We love finning over the huge propeller, still intact and surprisingly clear of growth. You can glide into the open cargo hold, imagining the ship's last voyage, then poke around the structure where schools of yellow-stripe scad will often swirl around you. Look closely at the superstructure for clownfish pairs guarding their anemone homes, and don’t forget to check under ledges for cryptic gobies. It's a great spot for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting calm conditions and plenty of light.
