Xisha Islands (Paracel Islands)

This remote group of islands in the South China Sea is less frequented by divers due to its distance from the mainland and the need for special permits to visit. However, those who make the journey are rewarded with pristine dive conditions, untouched coral reefs, and a spectacular array of marine life. The area is ideal for advanced divers, offering deep dives, strong currents, and the chance to see larger pelagic fish.
