CHARACTER
Old truck tyres transformed into a surprisingly rich macro habitat.
Ginama-an consists of truck tyres that have rested on the seabed for more than a decade. Corals and sponges have turned them into a living artificial reef. Frogfish, nudibranchs, crustaceans, mantis shrimps and sometimes mimic octopuses may be found around the structures. It is also a rewarding night-dive location.
CAMERA & APPROACH
Cover less ground.
Make better images.
Inspect each tyre from several angles without touching it. Night dives may reveal different animals.
