About this site
Sumiyoshi Shiwano (住吉 志和野) is a shore-entry wall site at Sumiyoshi on Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture, with a maximum depth of 15 m. The site is made up of three channels; past them a small arch appears, sheltering spiny lobster and juvenile semicircle angelfish and bicolour parrotfish, with buoyancy and fin control needed inside. Beyond the arch the left wall is covered in anemones and anemonefish, more anemones further out hold porcelain crabs, and the far rock has Ultraman tunicates and juvenile yellow boxfish. Intermediate and above; also used for try dives and courses.
