About this site
Sengoku (千石) is a boat dive at Shirahama on the Kii Peninsula in Wakayama, six minutes from the harbour and much closer to shore than Sengoku Oki, with a maximum depth of 20 m and an average around 12 m. The terrain is varied despite the modest depth, and the life is similar to Sengoku Oki with additions of its own. In summer juvenile tropical strays such as sweetlips, emperor angelfish and semicircle angelfish appear, together with blennies not seen on the other Shirahama sites and the black-and-gold striped soapfish, and in autumn schools of barracuda pass through. Little current, suitable from beginner/novice level.
