Boat-access big-fish drift site off north Iriomote
Complex root topography and strong currents make this a drift-first dive; plan for boat logistics, tight briefings, and a fast-moving pelagic feel.
About Iriomote Tokakinsone
Iriomote Tokakinsone is a boat-access drift site off north Iriomote, built around a complex rocky root that rises through the reef. It is known for strong water movement and big-fish encounters, so the dive plan centers on timing the drift, staying close to the structure, and keeping a sharp lookout for pelagic action. The result is a high-energy reef dive rather than a slow sightseeing stop.
