Jabune is a drift dive site located off Hachijojima, characterised by strong currents that dictate the dive profile. The site extends from the surface to a maximum depth of 22 metres. Due to the significant current strength, this location is suitable only for advanced divers. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers must coordinate their drift vector with the skipper prior to entry. Conditions can shift rapidly between dives, and visibility is variable. Divers should remain aware of their depth and maintain caution regarding dangerous marine life during all boat entries and exits. Facilities at the site are limited, so confirm all necessary safety equipment with your operator before departure.
