About Miho

Miho is a shore dive on the Miho Peninsula with a gravel-beach entry, a gentle slope into deeper water, and a mix of sand, rock, and small structure that rewards careful observation. It works best as a relaxed, practice-friendly dive when wind and surface chop stay manageable, and it is known more for varied marine life than for hard coral.
