About Confucius Rock
Confucius Rock is a shore cave-and-reef dive on Green Island, with an intertidal start, a shallow reef maze, and a tunnel route that rewards careful tide timing. It is the kind of site that works best for training dives and relaxed exploration when the sea is calm enough to keep the entrance readable. The appeal is a compact route with plenty of coral texture and small reef life.
