About 橋咀 Sharp Island
Sharp Island is a classic Sai Kung reef site and one of Hong Kong’s best-known shallow-water dives. A short kaito ride brings you to coral-rich sections that stay close to the surface before opening into a broader fish-rich slope, so the site works well for relaxed reef cruising and easy snorkelling as well as beginner scuba. Plan it for settled weather, protect the coral on entry, and expect a busy recreational setting around one of Hong Kong’s most accessible marine highlights.
