Freshwater haunted-forest dive at Lake Motosu with calm water.
This freshwater dive site in a high-altitude lake is centered on a massive sunken tree, whose algae-covered branches create a spooky, mansion-like silhouette underwater. Diving here is considered a high-altitude dive (around 900 m elevation) and calls for careful buoyancy control. The submerged trees and plants host a mix of freshwater fish and small macro life.
