1 Gochi Ohanabatake
1 Gochi Ohanabatake is a protected-area drift dive with rich reef life.
Boat-only Shikoku drift dive with a shallow working band, but current is the main limiter and sea-state timing matters.
About 1 Gochi Ohanabatake
1 Gochi Ohanabatake is the Flower Garden #1 dive in a protected marine area of Shikoku, set up as a boat drift rather than an anchoring site. The workable band is shallow, but the current can run hard enough that sea state matters more than the map. When conditions line up, it is a lively reef dive with branching coral, shoals of fish, and small macro life in the structure.
