Bizen
Bizen is located on the west side of Kushimoto and features a deep point reaching approximately 18 meters beneath the anchor. The site includes two prominent roots near the anchor and is characterized as a channel. The sandy areas on the west and south sides are notable, with the southern sandy region serving as a spawning ground for cuttlefish during certain seasons. To the north, divers can explore a series of coral reefs, leading to a sandy bottom that extends to depths of about 25 to 27 meters. The site typically experiences minimal current, making it accessible for divers of all skill levels. In the northern sandy area, gobies are frequently observed as water temperatures rise. The coral reefs host various marine life, including jawfish, frogfish, and razorfish. Additionally, during winter months, large schools of yellowtail can often be seen, while gimpfish are present year-round near the large roots.
