Fukuura

This dive site, Fukuura, is a highly popular and easily accessible spot located on the west side of the Manazuru Peninsula, making it convenient for divers from the Kanto area. Divers have the flexibility of both beach and boat entry. The site's main attraction is a remarkable 40x40 meter colony of coral anemones, a designated natural monument, thriving in depths ranging from 1 to 10 meters, providing a clear focal point for underwater navigation. The vibrant coral anemone colony is a bustling ecosystem, hosting numerous colorful creatures, most notably various species of clownfish. Beyond the anemones, the surrounding reef areas are home to a fascinating array of marine life including the unique frogfish, distinctive foxface rabbitfish, elegant hornbills, and elusive catsharks, making it a rich environment for observation. Fukuura is particularly well-suited for beginner divers due to its shallow maximum depth and relatively calm conditions. It is also an excellent location for macro photography enthusiasts given the density of small, interesting marine life. Both freedivers and snorkelers will find the shallow coral anemone colony exceptionally rewarding. While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, its consistent popularity suggests good conditions year-round, making it a reliable destination for a memorable dive.
