About this site
Matterhorn (マッターホルン) is a boat dive at Mikiura in Owase on the Kii Peninsula coast of Mie, fifteen minutes from the harbour, with a maximum depth of 30 m and an average around 20 m. A hidden pinnacle rises from 25 m to a top at 7 m and carries the densest anthias in Mikiura, with schools of yellowstriped butterfish in summer and pelagic fish such as yellowtail passing through. Current at times, intermediate and above, and a usual first step out to the open-sea sites.
