Yehyukang on the eastern coast of Lanyu features a combination of shallow reef, wall, and drop-off topography. The site reaches depths of 80 metres, though intermediate divers typically explore between 8 and 25 metres. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius. Shore entry requires caution due to surge and swell, which can push divers onto sharp coral and rocks. Currents are moderate but can strengthen, so timing dives around slack water is recommended. Hazards include jellyfish, sea urchins, stonefish, and sharp coral. Species recorded around this area include sea kraits, regal angelfish, clown triggerfish, and various wrasses.
