About South Rock
South Rock is a boat-accessed Ainan dive site with a wave-cut rocky slope, steep drop-offs, and broad terrace-like ledges. The terrain makes for slow contour dives and macro searching along the rock face, while occasional larger fish pass through the blue water. Plan it as a weather-sensitive boat dive and expect the most comfortable runs on calmer days.
