Features: Fangji Island in Maoming, Guangdong is only an hour's boat ride from the mainland, but the water is much clearer than on the coast.

Reason for Recommendation

The blue sky, white clouds and vast sea have infinitely extended human imagination. It is said that from May to August every year, the sea water here is crystal clear, and the fish in the shallow water are The coral groups are clearly visible. It is the golden season for diving. However, I came at the wrong time. It was also the peak of the tide. There were many particles suspended in the sea water. The visibility was not very high, only 5 or 6 meters. It was difficult to see the shallow sea from the water surface. seabed. The current transparency of the seawater is a bit disappointing, like a veil covering the eyes, trying to hide the myriad scenes under the sea. I took an underwater camera and with the help of a diving instructor, I looked for the beauty that only belongs to the water world.

There are many boulders on the seabed. Occasionally, I feel a little frightened when I swim through the dim gaps between the boulders, worried about the hidden dangers. However, you can usually see beautiful schools of fish and huge shellfish here.
