Yixiantian, located off Green Island, is a reef site defined by a narrow channel that funnels strong currents. This topography requires advanced skills in buoyancy and current management. Divers can explore depths reaching 50 metres, with boat access required for all entries. The reef walls host various marine life, including wrasses and snails, which are common. Divers may also encounter emperor angelfish, clown triggerfish, redtooth triggerfish, nembrotha nudibranchs, elongate clams, chromis, and sea squirts. Given the channel geometry, current direction and strength vary significantly, making it essential to consult with a local dive operator regarding conditions before entry.
