About this site
Motoikuno (元行野) is a boat dive at Owase on the Kii Peninsula coast of Mie, eight minutes from the harbour, with a maximum depth of 20 m and an average around 10 m. Flat rock spreads out below the anchor at 5 to 10 m with few sea urchins, and small fish such as blue damselfish and anemonefish are plentiful, which makes it a regular choice for open-water courses, refresher and try dives. The bottom steps down gradually past 20 m, so deep dives are also possible. Little current, suitable from beginner/novice level.
