Bitagane
★★★★☆
(339)
Located near Atami’s wreck, this dive site has fixed buoys with depths from 18-20m below the buoy. West side (No.1 root) stays ~20m deep; east side (No.2 root) deepens to 30m. Strong currents, rich fish schools, and varied terrain make it popular.
Strong currents attract many fish. Seasonal anthias gather at the reef, while coral anemones at No.2 root host clownfish and damselfish. Many transient species appear too.
