Dabaisa Introduction
Green Island is primarily composed of volcanic block rocks, and after a long period of weathering and erosion, it has formed rugged and magnificent coastal landscapes, with most of its coasts being coral reef shores. The beach at Da-bai-sha is made up of shell and coral fragments compacted into a rock formation known as "tide rock," which has only two locations on Green Island, with Da-bai-sha being the largest. This is a rare beach landscape. Beyond the white sandy beach, the shoreline is still surrounded by coral reefs, with extensive intertidal zones teeming with marine life, such as hermit crabs, crabs, sea slugs, and sea cucumbers. It is also a paradise for diving enthusiasts, as there are designated trails for diving in the area. However, the underwater depth varies significantly, and with unstable currents, it is more suitable for scuba diving. Complete equipment and compressed air tanks are necessary for diving here. If you have a valid diving certification, you definitely should come to Da-bai-sha to experience the depth and fun! Although the currents are somewhat strong at Da-bai-sha, it features a world-class soft coral landscape. The waters around Green Island are warmed by the Pacific Kuroshio current, creating an environment very suitable for coral growth. Here, corals do not exist as isolated colonies, but rather as vast fields of coral — including various species like Acropora, Porites, and umbrella corals, forming a vibrant underwater spectacle. Among these, snapper and butterflyfish swim continuously among the corals, resembling a natural underwater garden.
