Dive Spot Guide•
Enokuchi
Mikomoto drift site with seasonal hammerheads and tight guide discipline.
Local operator required
Access is through approved Mikomoto operators and the island's dive rules, not independent shore diving.
Boat-only Mikomoto dive where current, shark season, and close guide work define the day.
About Enokuchi
Enokuchi is Mikomoto Island's standard west-side drift dive: boat-only, current-driven, and centered on a guide-led run near Kadone before surfacing on the spot. It is the gentler Mikomoto site, but it still sits inside a shark season window and demands close buoyancy, a controlled ascent, and attention to the changing current.
