Cindy and Ryan are diving at Taiwan’s nuclear power plants. These decommissioned discharge outlets provide an exclusive experience as the cooling water creates an artificial hot spring with washing machine-like currents. Dive near vibrant coral reefs at Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant, teeming with schools of fish, including the famous giant trevally, known as the “bully” for its playful behavior. The breathtaking “Underwater Cathedral” is an encounter at an underwater tunnel near the Longmen Nuclear Power Plant, where sunlight streams through like angelic light falling into a black hole. Despite initial concerns, the corals around the outlets are thriving in the warm water, even showing resilience to heat, earning them the name "super corals." Get ready for a fascinating underwater adventure as we explore Taiwan’s hidden underwater gems. Let’s go diving!
