Marine Center Front
Shallow beach dive at Kushimoto Marine Park.
A sloped Route 42 beach point with calm, clear water, coral clusters, and easy entry at high tide.
About Marine Center Front
Marine Center Front is a shore-entry dive in Kushimoto Marine Park, reached from the Route 42 side on a sloped beach approach. The profile is shallow and easy when you time the tide right: low water exposes rocks at the entry, while high tide gives a much cleaner start. Once in, the site stays calm and marine-park-like, with coral clusters, reef fish, and enough structure to keep a beginner-friendly dive interesting without needing a boat.

Watch footing on the sloped approach, avoid the exposed rocks at low tide, and keep buoyancy steady around coral clusters.
