Longdong Deep Water Solo (DWS)

Experience deep water soloing along the Longdong coast: climb freely along sea cliffs without ropes, and when you fall, you land safely in the water. We begin with easy traversing to warm up, introduce proper water entry and falling techniques, and then gradually move on to the classic route “The Blue Temptation”. Led throughout by professional instructors, with flotation support and on-site supervision, this is an exciting yet safe one-day deep water soloing experience.

Enjoy the freedom of deep water soloing along the Longdong coast. The session begins with a shoreline safety briefing covering tides, sea conditions, and proper water entry techniques. We then warm up with low-level traversing before gradually moving on to higher problems above deep water. Those with sufficient ability may challenge the classic route “The Blue Temptation”.

This activity is suitable for participants with basic climbing experience and strong swimming ability. Instructors provide supervision and safety support from both the shore and a boat, select appropriate areas based on tidal conditions, and demonstrate safe exits and re-entry to the rock.
