Scuba Taiwan or Okinawa end of October

[trumpet]

I'm planning a trip to Korea with my gf end of October and we would like to scuba in Taiwan or Okinawa or somewhere else within our skill level in that area. Our first trial dive was in Okinawa 2 years ago, so it would be nice to go again, but we would be happy diving in Taiwan or somewhere new if it seems reasonable during the time of our visit. The winds and surf look kind of iffy in Kenting, Taiwan. I reached out to a group on Green Island in Taiwan, but I don't know how easy it is to get there or if we want to go that far out of our way for a dive or two. Thanks so much!

I've never dived Taiwan, but I'll always recommend Oki

Thanks all. I think Okinawa will work out better!

Thank you. Tryk lagoon is a bucket list trip for me. Maybe one day, if the bank account allows, I’ll get to enjoy it.

Most definitely get on a charter out to Keramashoto national park!

Isn't October still typhoon season.

Yep. For both Taiwan and Oki.

It’s the tail end of the season though.

This year was pretty tame up till last week.

Definitely a dice roll for the East China Sea, but if it’s good, it’s epic this time of year.
