About this site
Engetsujima (円月島) is a shore dive at Shirahama on the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama, sheltered by the islet of Engetsu offshore, with a maximum depth of 8 m and an average around 4 m. It is usually calm and often diveable when other sites are not, so it is used for courses and try dives, with a wide beach inside the breakwater. Beyond the breakwater there are arches and rocky terrain, and the reef holds scorpionfish, butterflyfish, opaleye, sweepers and cardinalfish. No current, suitable from beginner/novice level.
