New Territories

The New Territories region in Hong Kong presents coastal and nearshore diving in the South China Sea context. As an administrative area, diving is concentrated around accessible shorelines and harbour entrances with limited deep-water exposure, usually characterized by temperate to warm conditions, modest viz, and rocky/coastal habitats. Expect a mix of macro life, small reef patches, and occasional larger species near shore, with easy access for local divers and a few boat trips to nearby sites. The region offers practical dive options for recreational divers seeking short trips from urban Hong Kong with straightforward logistics.
