Doroga - Sea of Japan is a cold-water Primorye dive with limited visibility, occasional seals, and the kind of rough-edged character that suits experienced divers. The site is boat-based and feels more like a local operator dive than a polished resort stop. When the sea is calm, it offers a useful snapshot of the Sea of Japan's northern marine life rather than a tropical-style reef day.
