Best for beginner divers, Up to 20m, shore entry, variable current.
Cape Kyan on Tokashiki Island offers a diverse marine environment featuring a reef and cave system. Snorkellers can explore depths ranging from the shallows down to 20 metres. Entry is directly from the shore, making it accessible for beginners, though conditions vary due to the presence of variable currents. Rip currents are a known hazard at this location, requiring careful monitoring of local conditions and positioning relative to the coast. On-site facilities include parking, toilets, and showers, supporting a comfortable day trip. Due to the potential for rip currents, it is recommended to remain in shallower, sheltered areas near the reef rather than venturing into open water.

Rip currents are the main hazard here, so snorkel close to the reef where the water is shallower and more sheltered rather than heading into open water. The facilities make this a comfortable day trip, but arrive early to secure parking during busier periods.
