About This Dive Spot
Yamada Sunachi is located approximately 5 minutes from Kaneku Port and features a sandy seabed characterized by antlion-like formations. The area is home to a transplanted coral ecosystem, with a notable cluster of finger corals situated to the south. This site previously hosted the rare tomato clownfish, which has not been seen since its anemone was taken in 1990. Marine life includes snapper, damselfish, and unique species such as the Yasha goby and pygmy seadragon. The absence of the tomato clownfish is a significant note for divers exploring this site.
