About Sodaine
Sodaine is a pinnacle dive off Atami in the Izu Peninsula, with a sandy slope and a steeper drop-off that give the site plenty of terrain to work with. Soft corals and photogenic structure make it a strong choice for underwater photography, while schools of snappers and wrasses, moray eels, and nudibranchs keep the reef busy. Boat transfers and current timing matter, and the clearer fall-to-winter water is usually the best match for the site.
