Kenting, located at the southernmost tip of Taiwan's main island, is a diving destination suitable for year-round diving that draws a steady stream of divers throughout all four seasons. In recent years, beginner dive sites such as the outlet area and fish-feeding zones have frequently seen visitors from mainland China speaking with distinctly northern accents, as well as fresh-faced Korean divers coming all the way from northern Asia to complete their Open Water Diver certification training — proof positive that dive travel can drive a comprehensive transformation of the broader tourism industry.
Kenting – An Exciting New Underwater Photography Destination
Beyond the ever-growing barracuda storm at the outlet area and the giant grouper at the fish-feeding zone, does Kenting still offer enough to keep divers coming back again and again? This time, the Editor reached out to Lin Yinyue — widely celebrated in the diving community as a guide with a "eagle eye" — and asked her to share the treasures she has spent years painstakingly photographing in Kenting: nudibranchs. We hope these will inspire you to pack your bags, head to Kenting, and set off once again on a photographic journey toward macro underwater photography mastery.
Lin Yinyue has made a name for herself in the diving world in recent years as a guide with extraordinary powers of observation. Beyond her never-give-up attitude, she possesses a level of focus that is simply beyond the ordinary — she can consistently find the gems that underwater photographers dream of on a reef that, to the Editor's eyes, all looks the same. If you have a passion for collecting macro marine life and there are still a few elusive species missing from your collection, consider commissioning Lin Yinyue as your dedicated underwater photography guide on your next trip to Kenting.
Not only is she one of the very few dive guides in Taiwan who can cater to a photographer's "wish list" according to the season, she also takes photos herself — meaning she truly understands photographers' preferences and shooting styles, rather than rushing through a fun dive in a sightseeing-by-the-clock fashion. Add to that her exceptionally low air consumption, which means each dive typically starts at 90 minutes (at shallow depths, staying focused and stationary while shooting, and with no overhead current, of course) — guaranteed to give photographers all the time they need to get the perfect shot.
