About This Dive Spot

Senohama Reef features over 20 submerged iron boxes, each measuring 3 meters in length and width, which were intentionally sunk by the former Nishinoumi Town to create habitats for marine life. These boxes are now scattered across a sandy bottom and attract a variety of migratory fish. Divers can explore the area by navigating around the boxes, with opportunities to observe numerous species including sparrowfish, snappers, groupers, scorpionfish, and schools of yellowtail. Additionally, turtles, and occasionally sharks or rays, may be encountered. For those interested in macro photography, the site is known for its vibrant nudibranchs, particularly the brightly colored pikachu variety. This dive site supports a diverse ecosystem, making it suitable for both wide-angle and macro photography.
