Best for intermediate divers, Up to 24m, boat entry, variable current.
Kanmurishima Island features a combination of wall and reef topography that descends to a maximum depth of 24 metres. This site is accessible only by boat and is suited for intermediate divers due to the presence of variable and potentially strong currents. Divers should monitor their depth closely as the wall drops quickly. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 12 to 26 degrees Celsius, necessitating appropriate thermal protection depending on the season. Given the nature of the currents and depth, strong buoyancy control is required for a safe experience at this location.

Check current conditions before descending, as strong currents around the island can develop quickly and the wall dive pushes depth fast. Water temperature swings between 12 and 26 degrees Celsius depending on season, so a thicker wetsuit or drysuit is worth considering outside the summer months.
