Ando no Hana

Ando no Hana features two buoys, one located in shallow waters and the other in deeper areas. The deep buoy is anchored in a sandy and muddy substrate, with depths exceeding 20 meters and a maximum depth of approximately 27 meters. Divers should maintain neutral buoyancy to avoid disturbing the sand. The site is accessible for diving from October onwards. Marine life includes various goby species, such as the threadfin goby and the threadfin lily goby, as well as frogfish that can be seen moving along the sandy bottom. To the west, a cleaning station is home to a colony of blue-spotted groupers. Other species observed in the area include western flying fish and razor fish. During winter months, schools of snappers can be spotted in the shallower regions.
