Shimozone
About Shimozone
An offshore open-ocean site south of Kuba Island, exposed with no island shelter. Diving here is primarily done as drift dives in strong tidal flow, with vertical currents that can rapidly change buoyancy and depth. It is suited to advanced divers who are comfortable controlling descents and ascents in current, and is known for encounters with large pelagic fish and big schooling species.
