Diving explore in Beiyu Shan, Zhejiang
Who would have known that you could dive the East China Sea, here’s our write-up of our Adventure trip to Bei Yu Shan off the coast of Zhi Jiang Province on June 6th 2008.
The Great Adventure set off from Big Blue Friday at 6:23pm - 6th of June 2008 with Adventurers: Michael Aylett, Sabrina Bonardi, Simon Wilson, Susana Tsui, Ronald Sun and Mr Chan lead by The Big Blue Team of Leigh Chen, David Jiang, Cedric Lamy and Paul Adams.
The First part of the Journey was to a small Fishing town named Shi Pu which had a rich cultural aroma, the trip from Shanghai lasted 5hrs. Here we stayed overnight in this busy little fishing town.
After catching our charter boat to the Island and checking in, we done several dives in around most of the islands, the east dive sites revealed an abundance of Nudibranchs, soft corals and Sponges along with clams that lined the sea floor.
Dive sites offered a mixture of sloping bottoms to wall dives, with very little current!Huge boulders lay around the islands making excellent swim through’s and places for octopuses to hide.
Ocean temperatures were between 20c and 22c which made for comfortable diving. We spotted several species of reef fish just hiding out of sight, but with the abundance of Nudibranchs it was hard to keep your eyes on the blue.
Maximum depths were around 30meters with most of the best diving in the shallow 7-0 meters.
Visibility was at best 4meters but that didn’t stop the adventurers exploring the underwater world and sharing their stories and what they saw.
