Kanokawa Nakanose

Also known as: 鹿ノ川中の瀬 (Japanese) · 鹿ノ川・中の瀬 (Korean) · 鹿の川中ノ沖 (Japanese) · Kanokawa manta point · 鹿ノ川マンタポイント (Japanese)

Several ridges, shaped like a horse's back, run from the reef towards open water, and the mantas come to be cleaned on them. Huge thistle corals are a feature of the site, and the coral gardens hold sweepers and many tropical fish. In the cooler months dogtooth tuna school offshore and are sometimes seen being cleaned, and barracuda also appear. The site is about an hour by boat from port.
