Dive Spot Guide•
Kadone
Kadone is a challenging Mikomoto boat dive with strong tides and sharks.
Experienced Mikomoto drift diving for shark seekers who can handle strong tides and stay close to the guide.
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.
