Scuba is good around Taiwan, I did my open water 1 in South Texas with NAUI, but I learned enough Chinese at the MTC to do my second scuba course taught by Fumio in Taipei, many dives were around the north but one trip was organized to Kending, very impressive place to dive. very nice. (about 30 years ago/ I also helped with a few lifeguard courses around that time. and swam with a masters swim team at the Taipei Youth Park in the mornings)
