I snorkeled a lot around 1980-1985, there are coral in those area, but only a few limited species. They grow big and healthy. I haven't got back there for decades, hope they are doing good. Some coral grow well in HK, but all of them are brownish - yellow, not really attactive though.
Not bad, not bad! Of course, HK is not Bali, but I never expected to find such things in the waters of a metropolis. I`m German, so you can imagine, that I seldom had the possibility for good dives.
Would you please post an address for a divers`forum on my message box?
Thanks!
Your videos are really great. Is it just a hobby? It looks quite professional.

Hi i992:
What about the islands off plover cove reservior north of the Sai Kung pennisula? There are numerous small islands there. Are there corals?
I left HK for the US in 1975. At that time, HK was a middle-income place and few could have afforded the diving gear.
I was told wrongly that HK water is too cold for coral. It is colder than ideal but it seems the many coral can live down to 17 C, about 60F.
A large part of HK, the Sai Kung area, is still wilderness.

Hi, thanks for watching my video clip. I have another better one also taken in HK last April (see the video response above)
I'm not pro of course, hobby only.
what kind of forum you are looking for?
