Hiya all you divers and dive shops operators in lovely Taiwan,
For my work I have to be in Taipei in the start of februari. Actually just around the start of Chinese newyear. Now, would it be totally crazy to plan a dive trip?
1) is everything closed or do dive operators keep on working? I'd need a place to stay and food as well. In mainland China where I live, everything is just closed for Chinese new year and I remember Taiwan closes down as well...
2) is feb too cold/rainy or otherwise not ok to dive?
3) which areas are good for diving in winter?
Got 100 plus dives, comfortable in currents, if there is thick suit rental I can deal with a bit of cold.
Or is it a better idea to do Taiwan another time and just fly straight out to SE Asia on the eve of Chinese newyear....
Thank you all for your info!!!
