About this site
Minami Barabara (南バラバラ) is a boat dive 35 minutes from Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands, Tokyo, with a maximum depth of 15 m and an average around 10 m. Several scattered shallow rocks are cut through by many swim-throughs, making the site a maze whose route varies from dive to dive. Boxer crabs, nudibranchs, soldierfish and red spiny lobster live in the rock; current runs here and the site suits intermediate divers and above.
