Chaikou
La profundidad indica el rango desde la parte superior del punto hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen exigir según las principales agencias, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario — considera todo esto como rangos de planificación.
Chaikou faces north, so when summer winds go soft the zone turns into a bright, easy garden: dense thickets of branching and table corals in genuinely good health, hawksbills picking at sponges, porcupinefish loitering under ledges, and clouds of damsels and butterflyfish over every head. The boardwalk crossing the reef flat spares both diver and coral the usual shuffle, and the slope beyond stays gentle to twenty meters. It is the island's family-friendly face, better for unhurried second and third dives than for drama, and in clean Kuroshio water that is no complaint at all.
El momento por el que vienes: Healthy branching-coral thickets, hawksbill encounters, easy boardwalk access
Topografía: Reef flat and coral-garden slope with scattered heads on sand
Entrada: A boardwalk over the reef flat on the north coast delivers snorkelers and divers past the surge zone; best in the southerly and calm seasons.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Exposed to the northeast monsoon; surge closes the zone in the windy season.
Conservación: Use the boardwalk and marked channels; the reef flat is shallow enough to damage on foot.
