Sand Cross
Dive site name: Sand Cross or Yonbori This dive site offers a serene experience, featuring a complex network of coral formations and pure coral sand pathways that connect these formations. It presents a diverse topography with a combination of arches, tunnels, and crevices, teeming with a wealth of marine life. In the past, there was a substantial population of Yaemenid fishes, but unfortunately, over the last few years, around 80% of them have perished. Nevertheless, the corals in the shallower areas are making a remarkable recovery and returning to their former vibrant state.
A wide variety of soft and hard corals are abundant, including the Yasemidorii community. Turtles such as loggerheads, green turtles, and hawksbill turtles are also present, and being located within the vast Napoleon fish territory, it is possible, though rare, to encounter these creatures. Fish such as snappers, snappers, snappers, and wrasses are also very abundant, and rare nudibranchs can be seen from time to time.
