Ando no Hana

There are two buoys at this dive site: one in shallow water and one in deep water. The deep buoy is located in a sandy area mixed with mud, with a maximum depth of approximately 27m. It's important to maintain neutral buoyancy here. This dive site is only available from October for a limited time, making it a must-visit for divers.

In the sandy area, divers can observe a variety of marine life including goby, threadfin goby, and threadfin lily goby. Frogfish can also be spotted walking on the sand. Towards the west, a cleaning station hosts a colony of blue-spotted groupers. Western flying fish, razor fish, and frogfish have been frequently seen as well. During the winter months, schools of snappers can be observed in the shallows.

Visibility at this dive site is around 10m, and the maximum depth reaches up to 18m, making it suitable for divers of all levels: beginners, advanced, and experts. The site is located in Japan, specifically in the vicinity of 潮岬周遊線, Kushimoto, Higashimuro County, Wakayama Prefecture, 649-3503, Japan.
