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.

We chose the 8 AM slot, when there were fewer people. Including us, there were only three of us, so we didn't have to share the experience with a large crowd, which made it excellent. The coach was very thorough in his explanation before we started, waiting until everyone had confirmed their equipment before beginning the activity. When we saw sea turtles, he also helped us adjust our direction so we could see them more clearly. The overall experience was fantastic, and we'll definitely visit again next time we're in Xiaoliuqiu.

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!

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!

I was a little worried because there were no Korean reviews, so I went alone. First of all, the staff spoke perfect English and were very kind. They offered to retrieve my phone if I dropped it and explained everything in detail from start to finish! Instructor Yuki checked everything related to safety one by one, so I really enjoyed the experience. I was so grateful for the photos, 1:1 lesson, and care provided for this price. Usually, the snorkeling I've experienced was just being given goggles and told to go play, but here, if you swallow water, the instructor asks if you're okay and explains each fish. If you're Korean, just book here unconditionally. Highly recommended!!

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!

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! 🫶🏻

It was such a delightful experience! It seemed like the instructor assignment depended on whether Chinese communication was possible. Since we only spoke English, we were assigned to Teacher Angie! Haha, she felt like the youngest, newest instructor. The preparation time, including the necessary explanations for scuba diving, changing clothes, and moving to the spot, felt like it took over 40 minutes. Once in the water, we had a brief period to adapt before going underwater. I thought I'd pick it up quickly since I had previous scuba diving experience, but I had trouble with my breathing at first and failed twice before succeeding on the third attempt. I was a bit nervous, but seeing the beautiful fish made me forget my anxiety. Teacher Angie seemed to know the best spots and guided us well. She held onto us from behind. When I reached out my hand, she gently pulled me back, perhaps because there was something I shouldn't touch. I guess that means she was always keeping an eye on us, right? Haha, it's an unforgettable memory!!
