About Mitate Wreck
Mitate Wreck is a guided boat dive off northern Sado Island where two sunken vessels sit in sand and draw dense schools of fish. The short run from Kotoura makes it a practical wreck outing, but the site still feels like a real dive rather than a casual swim because the wrecks sit off the bottom, current can strengthen, and the best plan is a controlled anchored profile.
