Best for intermediate divers, Up to 100m, shore entry, moderate current.
Yeyiu Fault is a dramatic wall and drop-off site on the Lanyu coastline, defined by a geological fracture that plunges from the surface to 100 metres. Shore entry provides quick access to the reef slope. Divers encounter moderate currents along the fault line, requiring careful planning to work with the flow. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 23 and 27 degrees Celsius. Due to the significant depth and potential for strong currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Species recorded around this area include sea kraits, clown triggerfish, regal angelfish, wrasses, and various nudibranchs. Divers should maintain strict buoyancy control and deploy a marker buoy.
