Pingtung Snorkeling

Simply one of the best experiences we've ever had. Swimming with the sea turtles was absolutely incredible! Our instructor was super kind and polite! I highly recommend the team.

Thank you so much Coach A-Ping for being so meticulous and patient in explaining things to the children. I was initially worried about my husband not being there to help, but the sisters and brothers inside also helped the children with dressing and undressing. I am really grateful. The coach also took so many beautiful and great photos for our family. We love them so much! 💖 I really highly recommend this activity.

I fell in love with SUP and snorkeling on my first try! The water was crystal clear, and the instructor was attentive and professional, making the whole experience safe and fun. The scenery along the way was incredibly beautiful. It's truly worth experiencing and creates unforgettable memories. Floating on the sea with the SUP, feeling the gentle sea breeze, my mood instantly relaxed. Snorkeling allowed me to admire the underwater world and schools of fish up close; the scene was so beautiful I didn't want to leave. Whether you come with friends, your partner, or family, you'll create a wealth of wonderful memories. I genuinely recommend it!

Such a great experience, lovely and passionate people running the tour and despite the language barrier they were very patient, attentive and friendly. The instructor initially pulls you around when you are attatched to a float to show you to the reef and make sure you can use your snorkling equipment correctly; then you are able to explore for yourself. So many beautiful fish, not invasive to the environment (marine protected area) and a highlight was seeing a turtle. They even take a few pictures for you and upload to their Facebook for you to download.

My wife can't swim at all, so when booking the trip, she called the instructor first to ask. She was told that as long as she wasn't afraid of water, it would be fine! So, we boldly booked the diving experience. One instructor is assigned to one student, and they also provide pre-dive instruction on shore. For those who've never done it before, the biggest challenge is dealing with ear pressure when descending. Just pinch your nose or swallow, and then confidently leave the rest to the instructor. You don't even need to swim; just relax and enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery! For photos and videos, just follow the instructor's lead! This was a truly worthwhile activity, and we're very grateful to the instructors at Bear Dive for giving us such a wonderful experience and memories!

This is our second year coming to "5mins from the Sea" for diving, and it's absolutely fantastic. Their passion for diving is evident; they explain marine life to us underwater and take excellent care of us. We saw beautiful coral and were lucky enough to spot sea turtles. A big thank you to Zhi Ge for taking so many wonderful photos for us, and thanks to 5mins from the Sea!

Thank you to coaches Ah Kun and Wei An, two handsome coaches, and the beautiful female coach for your help. They were all very friendly and attentive. I feel so lucky to have met them for my first diving experience, and they've given me the confidence and desire to take diving courses here! You're the best! 🫶🏻

The coach explained everything very carefully, which made it a wonderful experience for us as first-time snorkelers. The children also had a blast, constantly exclaiming at the diverse and rich marine life they saw. We were incredibly lucky to even spot a green sea turtle!
