The Editor says: Green Island has long been renowned for its superb visibility. The area around Horseshoe Bridge in particular is a must-visit for divers, home to legendary sites such as the mysterious Cathedral, the Steel Reef, and the Pinnacle. Yet along Green Island's vast coastline, there are still many remarkable dive sites waiting to be explored — the Green Island Pyramid among them. We hope Green Island Haiyun Dive Guesthouse will continue to share more of their incredible hidden-gem sites with us! Video source: 綠島海韻潛水民宿.
Green Island's Mysterious Dive Site — The Green Island Pyramid
【Dive Log — 2018/03/17】 Dive style: freediving. Today we started below Horseshoe Bridge and above the Great White Sand, making our way past the Large and Small Cathedrals and the Pinnacle (which I've decided to call the Pyramid). The Cathedrals feature unique underwater topography, while the surface of the Pinnacle is blanketed in corals of all shapes and sizes.
The deepest point at the base of the reef was just over 16 m. There was also a slight head current today — a bit of a workout.
How is a BlueTrend dive trip different from a regular travel-agency dive tour?
We're a digital media company rooted in marine ecology. Every trip comes with top-tier dive-safety oversight, plus underwater-photography and marine-science insights shared by professional photo instructors or eco-guides. The precious wildlife shots you take can even be identified and logged as citizen-science records through our AI ocean-data platform — so your holiday isn't just sightseeing, it carries real meaning for ocean conservation!
Are there certification (C-card) level or logged-dive requirements to join a BlueTrend overseas dive trip?
Difficulty varies by site. 'Bali Tulamben', for example, suits AOW (OW divers, just ask us); while 'Maldives tiger shark diving' and 'Palau's high-current sites' strongly require AOW level and 50+ logged dives. If you're unsure whether your experience fits, contact us anytime and our instructors will give you a professional assessment.
Can I join as a solo diver? How is room arrangement handled?
Absolutely! Many of our travellers sign up solo and make like-minded dive buddies on the trip. For rooms, we prioritise pairing same-gender travellers; if you'd prefer a single room, you can upgrade by paying the difference.
Does the trip fee include dive insurance, gear rental, flights or instructor tips?
BlueTrend believes in transparent pricing. Our dive packages include professional underwater guiding, insurance on certain itineraries, and accommodation. Since every traveller’s departure point and gear needs differ, flights and gear rental are usually optional or self-arranged. For a detailed included/not-included list, check each trip’s itinerary or ask our LINE support.
