About Kyusyu Maru

A wreck dive. It goes down to 46 m. You get in from the shore. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NE: swell from the NE reaches it, and wind from the SW blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 29°C in July, its coldest month (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm), and 30°C in January, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Honiara. Within 5 km we also list 4 dive sites.
