What to expect
At Zanpa Misaki, you can enjoy dynamic terrain diving. Although there are hardly any original formations, there are amphibious tanks from World War II and a cavern located at a depth of 30 meters, making it suitable for advanced drift diving. There are also large sea fans where pygmy seahorses can be observed, allowing for enjoyment of both wide-angle and macro photography.
EANx, SIDEMOUNT, and Double tanks options are also available. Feel free to contact us for alternative dates or if you have any preferences.

DIVE POINTS
Light house
A diving point called “Lighthouse” gets its name from its proximity to the lighthouse at Zanpa Cape. The area around Zanpa Cape is characterized by currents, beautiful coral reefs, and numerous caverns formed by several large rocks overlapping along a gentle drop-off. The maximum depth is around 35 meters. One of the main attractions is the high likelihood of seeing pygmy seahorses on large sea fans about 1 meter in diametr.
It is an excellent spot for divers who enjoy exploring underwater terrain and for those who prefer side-mount diving.
Alligator ( Lion rock )
maximum depth 35m
LVT (Landing Vehicle Tracked) is an amphibious tractor operated by the U.S. Navy and its Marine Corps during World War II.
Kouri Zanpa
Maximum depth 30m
This diving spot is located next to the Lighthouse dive site, and like the Lighthouse, it features a gentle drop-off leading out to sea, where divers can explore several caverns and gaps between rocks. It is an ideal location for side-mount divers.
Drift diving from the Lighthouse to Kouri Zanpa is also possible, with the option to reverse the course depending on the direction of the current. A minimum of two tanks is required, but recreational side-mount diving or double-tank diving is also recommended.
Mishiragi
Maximum depth 30m
This spot is located on the north side of Zanpa Cape and is relatively calm even with south or southwest winds, making it a suitable diving location when conditions are too rough for diving at the Lighthouse or Kouri Zanpa. It is a terrain dive site with several caverns that are the main attractions.
