Arakawa area

Land scape diving area with beautiful sun light shining through the rock formations.

 

Summer season only landscape diving area.

Land scape diving area with cut-throughs and beautiful sun light shining through the rock formations.

Swimming through the arches and tunnels made by natural rock formation is an adventurous experience.

 

During the summer time, the hole made by the arches are filled with hundreds and thousands of Luminous Cardinalfishes and Fragile Cardinalfishes.

Because the arch is nearly dark, when you shine the fishes with your dive light, the light reflects off the fishes and shines like glitter, looking as if the night sky had fallen into the ocean.

 

Do to wind direction, we can only go to these diving sites during the summer.

If you are interested, please put in a request!
