About Uguru Island
Uguru Island is an offshore Shikoku dive area shaped by the Kuroshio Current, with clear water, coral habitat, and a mix of big-fish and macro sites. The day can swing from pelagic action to smaller reef hunting, so the best plan is to match the site choice and timing to the current. It suits a wide range of divers, from relaxed observers to current-aware regulars.
