Wukungtung, or Five Caves, is a cavern and reef system on Lanyu suitable for advanced divers. The site features depths between 5 and 15 metres with an average of 12 metres. Divers can access the site from both shore and boat. Conditions include moderate currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 25 metres, though visibility can shift quickly within overhead sections. Due to the overhead environment, entanglement risks, and variable visibility, solid buoyancy control is required. Divers should carry two torches and run a guideline when entering cave passages. A local guide is strongly recommended for the first visit. Protective footwear is advised to avoid sharp rocks, coral, and sea urchins.
