About Komatsu
Komatsu in the Miko area is a boat-only bay dive with a sheltered sandy entry and a rocky side that concentrates the fish life. The profile stays gentle, so it works well for check dives, buoyancy practice, and slow paced exploration. On ordinary days it is a low-stress site to keep moving when more exposed spots are less practical, and the open water can still bring in passing schools.
