About This Dive Spot

Kadone is an offshore reef site near Kamikomoto Island, located off Enokuchi and Mitsu-ne. It is strongly influenced by tidal flow, with a reef top around 22–25 m and a shallower high point near 19 m before dropping steeply. Because conditions are heavily tide-dependent, the dive is considered challenging, especially for beginners. The area is known for seasonal shark activity around summer to fall.
