About this dive site
This dive site, located within Koganezaki Park, offers exceptionally easy entry and exit thanks to its ramps and handrails, making it highly accessible for divers of all levels. Upon entering, divers are greeted by a terrain featuring extensive 'gorotas' (large rocks) in shallower areas, gradually transitioning into vast sandy expanses at deeper sections. The diverse underwater landscape, characterized by both sandy and rocky zones, provides an engaging environment for exploration.
The site is celebrated for its abundant and rich marine life, especially favored by macro enthusiasts. Common sightings include various nudibranch species, often referred to as 'sea tigers,' alongside fascinating red-headed gobies, tigerfish, and clown fish. The environment of ropes, rocks, and sand also serves as a perfect habitat for well-camouflaged frogfish, creating excellent opportunities for observation and underwater photography.
Koganezaki is suitable for diving year-round, with the surrounding park offering seasonal floral displays above water that add to the overall experience. Its shallow depths and easy conditions make it an ideal spot for beginners and advanced divers alike, particularly those interested in macro photography. Freedivers will also find the calm waters and varied topography excellent for breath-hold exploration.
