About Ando no Hana

Ando no Hana is a seasonal Kushimoto boat dive marked by shallow and deep buoys over a sandy bottom. The deeper section sits in sand mixed with mud, and the site demands careful buoyancy over the bottom. It is best treated as a planned autumn-to-early-winter dive rather than a casual year-round stop, with the appeal coming from the buoy layout, the seasonal window, and the macro life rather than coral scenery.
