Dive Spot Guide•
Dobuiso
Dobuiso is a remote Chichijima big-fish channel dive.
A remote Ogasawara boat dive with steep slopes, strong current, and a high chance of pelagic action for experienced divers.
About Dobuiso
Dobuiso is one of Chichijima's top big-fish dives, with a massive underwater pillar and steep rocky slopes that turn the site into a current-driven channel dive. The appeal is the mix of dogtooth tuna, jacks, barracuda, reef sharks, manta rays, and dolphins that can show up in the blue as well as on the safety stop. It is an advanced boat dive that rewards patience, drift discipline, and the right weather window.
