Comments This is a dive operation geared to recreational diviers. There is very little to see other than the Chikuzen wreck, and that only if the sea conditions are optimal. The reefs are unremarkable and there is a lot of finger wagging from the dive guides if one strays more than 50 feet from the herd. Nothing to write home to mother about.

Dive Policy

Enforced diving restrictions Sort of. They give you all kinds of silly restrictions that they try to enforce but are really meant for the novice divers that they mingle with the experienced ones. Nothing is mentioned about depth limits but there is really nothing deep enough to worry about.
Liveaboard? no Nitrox Available? N/A
