About Soldier’s Cabin Bay
Soldier’s Cabin Bay is a simple Samaesan boat dive with a shallow reef that gives way to sand, making it a practical place for buoyancy practice and easy guided exploration. The site is strongest for newer divers when the water is calm, and the sandy sections are where the small macro life shows best. It is best handled as a short boat trip from Samaesan Pier rather than a casual shore outing.
