About This Dive Spot
Komatsu is accessible only by service boat from Kamiko Fishing Port, as there is no land access. The dive site is situated within a bay, providing protection from severe weather conditions. Divers enter from a sandy area where the depth gradually increases. To the north of the entry point, rocky formations are present, which serve as habitats for various bottom fish. Marine life observed in this area includes grunts, damselfish, horse mackerel, chaga, scallops, wrasses, blenny fish, and sea slugs. Occasionally, yellowtails and butterflyfish can be spotted, influenced by ocean currents. Schools of yellowtail and Spanish mackerel may also be seen moving towards nearby fixed nets.
