About this site
Katabirase (片平瀬) is a boat-dived drift pinnacle off Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture, about 45 minutes by boat, with a maximum depth of 20 m. The entry is close to shore and the dive drifts with the current out to sea, where rock gives way suddenly to table coral, so good buoyancy is needed to protect it, and on spring tides the current is severe. Butterflyfish and anthias fill the coral. Intermediate and above.
