Frequently Asked Questions

The experience includes all necessary diving and snorkeling equipment, a professional coach, insurance, and underwater photography. Wetsuits and life jackets are also provided as part of the standard gear package.
The two-hour timeframe encompasses the safety briefing, gear fitting, and the actual time spent in the water for both snorkeling and introductory scuba diving. Participants typically spend about 60 to 90 minutes actively in the water depending on group size and conditions.
Orchid Island is known for its clear waters and coral reefs, where you can expect to see tropical fish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral formations. The specific sightings depend on the day's weather and the chosen dive site.
You must travel from Taipei to Taitung via train or domestic flight, and then take a ferry or small aircraft from Taitung to Orchid Island. The exact meeting point on Orchid Island will be provided upon booking, and you are responsible for your own transit to the island.
The experience is suitable for beginners without certification, but participants must meet minimum age and health requirements set by the operator. Children typically need to be at least 10 years old for introductory scuba diving, and older adults may need to provide a medical clearance form.
This activity requires entering the water from a beach or boat and navigating uneven coastal terrain, making it unsuitable for individuals with significant mobility impairments. Participants must be able to swim or comfortably float and carry their own gear to the water's edge.
The best time for water activities on Orchid Island is between April and September when the seas are calm and underwater visibility is highest. The winter months often bring strong northeast monsoons and rough seas, which can lead to ferry cancellations and poor diving conditions.
You should bring a swimsuit, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and a change of dry clothes. It is also recommended to bring motion sickness medication if you are taking the ferry to the island or are prone to seasickness.
If ferry services are suspended by the government due to severe weather, the operator will allow you to reschedule your experience or provide a full refund. Cancellations initiated by the traveler for non-weather reasons are subject to the provider's standard cancellation policy.
You must wait at least 18 to 24 hours after your scuba dive before flying on a commercial airplane or taking a high-altitude flight. You should plan your departure flight from Taitung or Taipei accordingly to avoid the risk of decompression sickness.
