Easy shore dive with soft corals and macro life.
Sunabe Seawall in Chatan is an easy shore dive with long beach-access entries, a shallow underwater post, and a colorful soft-coral edge that looks like an underwater flower garden. The site slopes into cracks and little ledges, so it works well for slow sightseeing, macro hunting, and relaxed night dives. Clownfish, pygmy seahorses, gobies, shrimp, crabs, octopus, squid, and seasonal barracuda or turtles are typical highlights.
