Pineapple Rock is a boat-entry Minami Ise site for relaxed macro dives.
Pineapple Rock is a boat-entry site in Minami Ise centered on a pineapple-shaped root and broken rock terraces. The terrain is easy to read but full of cracks, ledges, and small pockets, so it suits slow macro hunting as much as broader scenic passes across the top of the structure. Expect a relaxed profile, steady fish activity, and the best dives when the sea stays calm enough to keep the water clear.

Scuba Diving
Beginner-to-advanced boat dive with a compact root-and-crevice profile that suits slow, careful exploration.
