Marine Center Front

This dive site, known as Marine Center Front, is a beach entry point situated on Route 42 in Japan, characterized by its gently sloped underwater terrain. Divers must exercise caution with their equipment during entry and exit due to the incline, especially during low tide when submerged rocks become exposed, potentially hindering access. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, which is primarily recognized for its calm and shallow waters, making it an excellent spot for less experienced divers. The Marine Center Front boasts a variety of marine life despite its shallow depth. Divers can expect to encounter colorful pufferfish and damselfish navigating the calm waters. Enthusiasts of macro life will be delighted by the possibility of spotting well-camouflaged frogfish and the unique Kaikamuri crab. At approximately 5 meters deep, schools of mullet and whitebait are commonly observed, adding to the underwater spectacle. The site also features scattered coral clusters, which require careful buoyancy control to avoid damage. The ideal time to visit Marine Center Front for diving is during high tide, which ensures easier entry over the rocks and access to the calmest conditions. Divers should maintain neutral buoyancy to protect the delicate coral clusters while exploring. Its shallow average depth of 3 meters and maximum depth of 6 meters, combined with calm conditions, make it perfectly suitable for both snorkeling and freediving, offering a safe and rewarding experience for those exploring on a single breath.
