Swim the mid-water to the tip with the coral ridge on your right, and you may see a large school of Japanese horn sharks descending from above. Large stingrays and turtles live in the neighboring waters, so you may be lucky enough to see them. After waiting for the school at the tip, you will see a gentle slope with a carpet of soft corals, gradually getting shallower and shallower until you reach the 5-meter safety stop, where kibibinago (sand eel) and other fish hang out. After the safety stop, we cross the natural maze created by the ridge and return to the boat.
