Chishima
Boat-access island drop-off with pelagic fish
Uninhabited-island boat dive off Kamiko Port with a shallow start, a steep wall, and fish-filled open-water scenery.
About Chishima
Chishima is a short-boat uninhabited-island dive near Kamiko Port with a dramatic drop-off that starts shallow and falls well into deeper water, making it a dynamic wall-style site rather than a calm bay swim. Experienced divers come here for pelagic schools, rare corals, and strong seasonal contrast, with summer offering the comfortable window and winter often turning rough enough to make the site a poor fit for casual visits.

Local Intel For Chishima
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good for experienced scuba divers who want schools of Spanish mackerel, yellowtail, kanpachi, horse mackerel, scorpionfish, snappers, and bluefin reef squid.
Freediving
Too dynamic and deep for a casual freedive plan; treat it as a scuba site.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site because the action is along a drop-off and boat-access wall.
