Diving in Hong Kong

There’s scuba diving in Hong Kong?! Well the answer is YES!
Many people live in Hong Kong for years unaware of the bountiful marine life right at their door step.

Whilst Hong Kong’s dive sites are accessible all year round, the main season runs between late March and Late October, with the most ideal conditions between April-June, and September. Although conditions can be challenging, it can be a very safe place due to shallower depths and sheltered sites. All this makes Hong Kong a great place to learn and hone your skills!

All in all, you’ll  amazed at what Hong Kong can offer!

Hong Kong Diving

Living in Hong Kong, we are lucky to be amongst South East Asia’s rich selection of dive sites. Many people choose to learn or refine their skills in Hong Kong in order to maximize their holiday time.

Hong Kong boasts over 30 dive sites that host clownfish, moray eels, stingrays, nudibranchs, frogfish, octopuses, cuttlefish, crabs, shrimp – all living on lively soft and hard corals. Its unique ecosystem allows for an array of citizen science initiatives, making it one of the few places in the world where you can actively, and regularly, get involved with community diving projects along with fun diving.

WHY SAI KUNG SCUBA?

Sai Kung Scuba is a international-run dive center. We believe in providing scuba diving as in other places in Asia – with great service and fabulous divemasters.

Apart from top-quality training, well maintained equipment and  what really can set us apart is our social network. We bring together divers that are on the same wave length, regardless of language or nationality, and see the ocean in the same way. That is why we call our fun diving day Scuba Socials.

Further to this we act as a portal for people to want to expand their diving horizons and our network allows divers to find out new ways they can enjoy the underwater world and give back to the city that they call home, through our environmental and disability diving initiatives.

DIVEMASTERS

DIVE YOUR WAY

As Hong Kong caters to both local and international divers, we allow for more flexibility for how you want to dive! Many seasoned HK divers will choose to dive independently with friends navigating sites at their own pace and style; whereas new divers or those getting to know HK sites will opt for the more traditional Divemaster led approach. Certainly diving with divemasters can provide a better experience as they know the sites, the challenges, and the marine life,  so can provide expert planning to ensure you are well taken care of.

Our pricing is structured to allow all options so be sure to pick what works best for you!

GREAT FOOD & DRINKS

On our fun diving boats you can count on wholesome hot lunches  provided by top Sai Kung caterers, with both meat & vegetarian options. Ice-cold drinks are also available with soft options throughout the day, and beers and hard seltzers available after the diving, as stories and experiences are swapped as we return to shore.

HOW DO WE DIVE?

For our main dive schedule we charter larger dives boats that can accommodate up to 30 divers, whilst for our safari and night dives we may use smaller HK fishing speedboats, which can accommodate up to 10 divers. For some courses, Re-Activates, or the occasional night dive or eco projects we also have a few shore diving options available.

All sites are based in Sai Kung or Clearwater Bay.
