Best for intermediate divers, Up to 18m, boat entry, moderate current.
Tanicha Tower is a reef and wall site located off Tokashiki Island, Japan. The topography features a wall structure that descends to a maximum depth of 18 metres, providing a clear reference point for navigation. This site is suitable for intermediate divers due to the presence of moderate currents that can intensify unexpectedly. Access is strictly by boat, and divers should maintain proximity to the vessel throughout the dive. Given the variable nature of the conditions and the potential for strong currents, buoyancy control and careful monitoring of local conditions with the boat operator are essential for a safe experience.

Check current conditions with your boat operator before descending, as the moderate baseline current can intensify around the wall and catch divers off guard. Water temperature ranges from 22 to 29 degrees Celsius across the year, so a wetsuit thickness suited to the season is worth confirming before you board.
