Dive-site story
Located along the Sunabe seawall in Chatan, this site offers easy shore access via concrete steps leading straight to the reef flat. Divers follow a gradual bottom contour outward until reaching extensive soft coral formations that carpet the seabed. The gentle topography and predictable navigation make it a staple for local training, macro photography, and relaxed afternoon dives.
Expansive fields of leather and mushroom soft corals spread across the reef slope
Multiple species of anemonefish residing in host sea anemones scattered along the hard bottom
Frequent encounters with sea snakes, nudibranchs, and juvenile reef fish among coral heads
Location
