About This Dive Spot

Yokoshima danso features a unique underwater landscape characterized by a combination of hard and soft corals on a prominent monolithic rock. The dive site has depths ranging from 5 to 9 meters and extends over 1 kilometer in a linear formation. Divers can explore side holes adjacent to the monolith, which provide opportunities for swim-throughs. The shallow areas are particularly striking, illuminated by sunlight, showcasing vibrant marine life including orange-hued snappers, blue solas snappers, and various other species such as groupers, scorpionfish, yellowtail snapper, amberjack, yellowtail, cat sharks, and occasionally larger rays or sharks. This diverse ecosystem is a rare find in Japan.
