Uchizan

Also known as: Uchizan reef · ウチザン (Japanese) · ウチザン(沖山岩) (Japanese)

Because it sits in the middle of a large channel, Uchizan often has strong current and is mostly dived as a drift. A rock called 'Iso no ne' is covered with sea fans and draws so many fish that Diving WG compares it to a dragon palace. Whitetip reef sharks often rest in the cracks below it. South of this rock, channels carved by the current form a maze that divers can ride like a roller coaster when the tide runs. SEASIR names mantas, giant trevally and ribbon eels among the sightings.
