Diving in Okinawa *
Most of the best dive sites in Japan are found in Okinawa. Okinawa diving and snorkeling offer visitors a stunning glimpse into an underwater paradise full of lively coral reefs teeming with tropical fish and amazing visibility. Diving Kerama Islands’ vast coral reefs and sunken battleships are very popular from Okinawa’s main island, reachable by boat in one hour. The complex terrain around Miyakojima attracts divers with its large halls, impressive arches, and extensive caves. Some of Japan’s best wildlife encounters occur just off Ishigaki Island where manta rays soar and Yonaguni Island where hammerhead sharks swim amongst undersea ruins.
