Best for advanced divers, Up to 22m, boat entry, strong current.
Kadone is a wall and drift dive site located off the Izu Peninsula, Japan. Reached exclusively by boat, the site features a vertical wall structure that descends to a maximum depth of 22 metres. Divers must be prepared for strong currents that persist throughout the dive, requiring advanced buoyancy control and constant situational awareness. Due to the demanding nature of the flow, which can make entry and exit challenging, it is essential to coordinate with local boat operators regarding tide stages. Water temperatures fluctuate between 18C and 27C throughout the year, necessitating appropriate exposure protection for the season. Divers should remain close to their team and monitor their position relative to the boat at all times.
