Rokubanzaki

Also known as: Cape No. 6 · 6banzaki · 六番崎 (Japanese) · 灯台北 (Japanese) · 六番崎(牛の島灯台下) (Japanese)

The dive usually starts with the cave and crevice system near the shore and then continues along the reef. A large sea fan grows near the cave entrance, and the deeper sea fans have been found to host four or five pygmy seahorses on a single fan. Red anthias and purple queens gather along the edge of the shallow shelf. Turtles are seen from time to time, and GOLD reports rare sightings of zebra sharks. Around the sea fans a current towards the open sea can develop, which can make the swim back to the shore side harder.
