Phantom Island (Hamashima)
The area around "Phantom Island (official name: Hamashima)" is shallow, so even if the island sinks at high tide, it is still shallow enough for safe sightseeing.
After taking your time to enjoy the island, enjoy a hands-on diving experience around this coral reef!
The sea is so clear that you can see the ground even from the sea, and you can dive so enthusiastically that you will never get tired of swimming all the time.
