About this dive site

This dive site, Nyanko Rock, is conveniently located just a two-minute boat ride from the West Sea, or for the more adventurous, a 25-minute swim. Often serving as a primary dive location due to its deeper average depth, it is also a popular spot for deep diving training, with capabilities to reach depths of up to 40 meters. Its environment is similar to surrounding waters, but notably rich in diverse marine life and extensive jawfish habitats. Divers can observe a wide array of marine animals, including various species of snappers, groupers, scorpionfish, and large schools of rockfish. Other notable sightings include scampi, yellowtails, and turtles. While less common, sharks, rays, frogfish, and flatfish can occasionally be spotted. During cooler months, catsharks are plentiful, and the site is particularly renowned for its abundant jawfish, making it an attractive point for diving enthusiasts. The cooler months are ideal for visiting Nyanko Rock, offering increased chances of encountering plentiful catsharks. Its abundant jawfish make it an excellent choice for macro photography enthusiasts. The site is highly suitable for deep diving training and participating in various diving courses, accommodating both beginners seeking foundational skills and experienced divers looking to advance their capabilities, including freedivers who can utilize its significant depth potential for training.
