About Kadone
Kadone is the west-side Mikomoto reef root used for shark-focused drift dives. It is reached by boat, not shore, and the dive is built around staying close to the guide while strong tidal flow pushes you past rocky structure and open-ocean fish life. Experienced divers come here for hammerheads, other sharks, and the dynamic Kuroshio-fed conditions that make Mikomoto famous.
