At the Asia Dive Expo (ADEX) 2026 in Singapore, the Taiwan Tourism Administration (TTA) shared that 48% of Singaporean divers surveyed remain unaware of Taiwan’s diving attractions, with 50% having never explored its waters. This finding, revealed during the expo with over 1,000 respondents, points to a notable lack of awareness in spite of Taiwan’s proximity and the ease of visa-free travel from Singapore.

The Taiwan Pavilion showcased the country’s four key aquatic destinations, featuring Green Island as the main highlight. This area, known for its volcanic origins and pleasant Kuroshio Current, provides excellent visibility and unique spots such as the “Big Mushroom”, a coral structure over a millennium old. Furthermore, divers can send postcards from the world’s deepest underwater mailbox located in the Shilang Diving Area.

Xiaoliuqiu, another highlight, is famous for its abundant green sea turtle population, allowing snorkelers to engage closely with these ancient creatures. Night tours on the island offer visitors a glimpse of a distinct ecosystem under a star-filled sky.

Penghu features a basalt coastline and an ongoing coral restoration project, inviting travelers to partake in reef recovery efforts. Visitors can also marvel at landmarks such as the Penghu Cross-Sea Bridge and the twin stone fish traps of Qimei Island.

As the interest in eco-friendly travel grows among younger divers, Taiwan’s dedication to sustainable diving practices was a focal point at the Pavilion. Additionally, the exhibition showcased Taiwan’s diving industry, presenting top brands like ATMOS and DIVEVERYDAY, which provide cutting-edge dive technology.

As ADEX 2026 wraps up, Taiwan’s underwater experiences emerge as a critical opportunity for Singaporean divers looking for new adventures, just a swift flight away.
