The Yamagiri Maru is a Japanese cargo ship that sank during World War II, now serving as an artificial reef. It rests upright on the seabed, providing a fascinating dive site for wreck enthusiasts and marine life observers alike.

Divers can explore the wreck, which is approximately 130 meters long, with opportunities to see various marine species inhabiting the structure. The site offers both interior and exterior exploration, with visibility often allowing for clear views of the wreck.
