About This Dive Spot

Yokoshima 2 gōchi offers a shore entry dive where divers can swim mid-water along a coral ridge, keeping it to the right. This area is known for sightings of large schools of Japanese horn sharks descending from above, as well as large stingrays and turtles in the surrounding waters. At the tip of the ridge, divers will encounter a gentle slope covered in soft corals, gradually leading to a 5-meter safety stop where kibibinago (sand eel) and various fish can be observed. After completing the safety stop, divers navigate back through a natural maze formed by the ridge. Marine life commonly seen includes porgy fish, snappers, groupers, scorpionfish, and schools of yellowtail, with occasional sightings of rare sharks and rays. Longnose hawkfish and frogfish may also be spotted among the odontocetes.
