About this dive site
This dive site is a popular destination, heavily advertised for its stunning Blue Cave. Divers can access the site both from the surface and underwater, though entry from shore involves descending 90+ stairs. It’s considered an excellent spot for beginner divers, however careful attention to depth is advised. Visibility frequently reaches 100 feet, offering an immersive experience akin to exploring an aquarium due to the abundant fish population. Facilities on-site include a restroom available seasonally and pay parking (accepting Yen only in cash). Shower facilities are also available with a similar payment system.
