Top 10 Diving Spots to Visit in Sanya
Coming to Sanya definitely involves diving, exploring the seabed, admiring coral and rock formations, witnessing the movements of fish in the sea, and it's an unforgettable experience.
Today I'm going to talk about the top 10 diving spots in Sanya.
1. Haitang Bay InterContinental Hotel's Teshi Diving Club
This diving club is located in the Haitang Bay InterContinental Hotel's Oceanarium, and it's also where we have meals at the underwater restaurant. This diving club also offers diving certification training services. The diving features include clear water quality, allowing you to take photos of the seabed in the underwater restaurant. The diving time is long, and the service is relatively professional. If you have a certificate, you can dive freely. Diving price: One-on-one coach diving: 800 yuan/person, certified diving: 600 yuan/person.
2. Haitang Bay Atlantis Water Cube Diving Club
Diving in the Atlantis Water Cube, dancing with lost civilizations underwater – of course, the hotel brand dictates that diving here will be relatively expensive. However, if you stay at the Atlantis Hotel, it's very convenient to dive here. According to reports, the average diving price is around 1000 yuan, please consult the hotel service staff for details.
3. Qilong Bay Love Cube Diving Club
The two diving points of Qilong Bay Love Cube Diving Club are: the sunken ship diving restaurant under the seabed, and the coral reef diving in Qilong Bay. Both are diving in seawater, with prices of 398 and 498 yuan/person respectively. The water quality is quite good and the price-performance ratio is high.
4. Qilong Bay Haihe World Diving Club
The name 'Haihe World' is misleading to many people. Many people think that here will be like an oceanarium. In fact, the club's name is 'Haihe World'. It's located on Sanya Beach, with dedicated diving platforms. There are also sightseeing boats for watching and visiting. Most projects are in the sea or on the seabed, so it's called 'Haihe World'. The diving price is about 450 yuan.
5. Qilong Bay Hilton Hotel Beach Club
There are various sand clubs on Qilong Bay Beach, and they also operate diving projects, with good diving experience and high cost-effectiveness. The diving price here is 398 yuan/person. When diving, you will ride a speedboat to admire the beautiful scenery of Qilong Bay for a few minutes, which is a great experience.
6. Baofu Bay Diving Club
Baofu Bay is located at the corner of Sanya's Yalong Bay. There are many rocks and beautiful coral reefs here, so many people like to dive here. We can see the glass water phenomenon that can be seen in foreign countries, and we can also see it here. The cost is between 398 and 698 yuan depending on the chosen package.
7. Datonghai Diving Club
Datonghai Diving Club is a veteran diving base in Sanya. Many people think that the water quality of Datonghai is not good, which is a wrong perception of Sanya by many people. In fact, the water quality of Sanya Datonghai is comparable to that of Haitang Bay, and it's maintained well because there are more than 30 people operating it every day and the beach is very crowded. Datonghai is also the main filming location for the movie 'Shark Tooth'. The chaotic running scenes on the beach and children holding swimming rings are all filmed here. The diving price ranges from 200 to 498 yuan depending on the package.
8. Yacht Outing Diving
Going out on a yacht naturally involves diving. The diving points on a yacht can change every day because of different wind and waves. Familiar dive coaches will choose the best diving location according to the sea conditions. Currently, most yacht outings for diving are negotiated, and the diving price is generally 100-200 yuan/person depending on the negotiation.
9. Wuzhizhou Island Diving
Diving on Wuzhizhou Island is a favorite destination for many people – Sanya's 'Maldives', it's not an exaggeration. The water quality here is really beautiful. The entrance fee plus diving cost is about 600 plus RMB per person. However, you can still see the blue sea of the Maldives, which is worth it. Besides diving experiences, Wuzhizhou Island also has underwater walking projects, which are popular with many female companions.
10. Xisha Island Diving
Xisha Island is a veteran diving base, and since it started operating many seaside entertainment activities in 1994, Xisha Island's water quality is not bad, it's because many people dive in the afternoon, and the sunlight angle makes the seabed photo quality not so good. The entrance fee plus diving cost is about 500 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective compared to Wuzhizhou Island.
There are many diving spots in Sanya, and you can make a decision based on your spending ability and preferences. In terms of water quality, the water quality in different areas is not much different, but it may be affected by the angle of light, the density of cloud cover, and many other factors, which will affect the quality of underwater photos. Even if the water quality is not clear, it may not take beautiful photos.
