Chaikou

Chaikou is a coastal locale in northern Taiwan near Lvdao Township. The area is primarily accessed as a gateway for nearby dive sites along Taiwan’s northern coast and in the broader Taiwan Strait region. With a cluster of local dive centers and numerous coastal dive sites within a short radius, divers typically base themselves here for day trips to reef and wreck sites along the Taiwan shelf and nearby Philippine Sea littoral. For freshwater diving options, the city itself offers none; nearby inland options would be outside the city context. Overall, Chaikou serves as a practical access point for divers visiting Taiwan, offering coastal access and proximity to multiple shore and boat dive destinations.
