This dive site is located on the western side of the Satsuma Peninsula, facing the East China Sea. You can usually dive anywhere at any time depending on the wind direction. The clarity is 10 to 30 meters. The water temperature is 8.5 degrees Celsius in September and can reach 30 degrees Celsius.
The drift dive at the drop-off is a great place to see big fish such as blue snapper, sea turtles, bluefin tuna, humpback snappers and stingrays, as well as large schools of humpback snappers, flathead damselfish and sea anemones. Schools of kuei and cod rays may also make an appearance.
