Zhongao Beach is a popular and convenient shore dive site, known for its wide white sand beach and easy entry directly from shore. The nearshore area is shallow with a gentle slope, making it suitable for relaxed recreational dives and training dives.
With a local instructor or dive guide, divers can venture farther offshore to explore artificial reefs and a shipwreck, where reef fish, lionfish, pufferfish, and other tropical marine life are commonly spotted.
