Sado Island is the second largest island in terms of area after the main island of Okinawa, and can be reached by ferry from Niigata Port in about 2.5 hours or by jetfoil in about 1 hour. In the summer, the sea is very calm and clear, and the water temperature is high, making it very popular with divers.
In the summer, you can see large schools of horse mackerel and sea breams targeting them. Mebals and chagarras are also often seen in schools. Kobudai also take up residence. You can also observe moss dippers, anemones and other dippers, spawning behavior of spoonbills and spawning octopuses.
