01 / KUROSHIO
The Kuroshio's richest reach
The main current sweeps the island, carrying tuna, mahi-mahi, and mantas in its push. Drift dives are the norm here.
02 / BLUE CAVES
Blue caves and swim-throughs
Maiden Rock, Twin Lions, and the Blue Cave — light columns through cobalt water. A photographer's pilgrimage.
03 / CULTURE
Diving in the Tao homeland
Before you arrive, learn the flying-fish season, the meaning of the canoes, and the island's taboos. Respect is the first dive.
