About this site
Lobster Cave (龍蝦洞) on the east coast of Xiaoliuqiu is a shore dive over a wide carpet of soft coral. The right-hand side is 10–15 m and the coral slope continues to about 25 m. Turtles rest on the coral and giant clams are common; current picks up at times and the depth changes quickly.
