Barachin (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(48)
Barachin, a battleship that sank during World War II, is located in Takinoura Bay on Chodo Island. This is a major point in the Ogasawara Islands where many divers go because of its easy access from Chichijima. There is a wreck in the water at a depth of about 12 meters that was broken apart. Root fish are schooled there as a fishing reef. There is little to no current, and beginners will enjoy it. The reefs, which are 20 meters deep, are crowded with beautiful fish such as Scorpionfish, Scabiosa, Keramahana. and Hydrangea.
You can see large snappers, schools of sawfish, groupers, schools of Scorpionfish, ribbonfish, and cleaning shrimps such as Red-headed Shrimps. There are also swarms of swallows.
