Japan
Hata District
The Hata District in Kochi Prefecture lies along the southern coast of Shikoku facing the Pacific. Diving here is influenced by warm, clear to mildly turbid coastal waters of the Philippine Sea with gentle to moderate currents. The area offers access to rocky coastal habitats and departs from nearby hubs for local dives in the North Pacific region. Local dive centers serve both shore and boat dives, with nearby sites around Kochi and the neighboring coast. Marine life typically includes reef fish, sea fans, and small pelagics common to Kuroshio-influenced waters.
