なかゆくいは沖縄の方言で一休み。その名の通りダイブサイトは珊瑚礁とホワイトサンドの砂地で構成されており、癒し系のダイビング。流れもないことが多く、リーフの上には種類多くの魚やアオウミガメを見られることが出来る。砂地では特に冬になると多くのマクロ生物を観察することが出来る。ゆっくり生物観察をしたり、スキルアップの講習等にはおすすめのポイント。

クロスラインは珊瑚礁と砂地の癒し系ポイント。かつて漁で使用され台風で沈んだロープがクロスしていることからポイント名となった。そのロープ沿いでは多くのマクロ生物を観察できる。数匹のコバンザメを引き連れているアオウミガメもクロスラインの見物である。砂地にはトウアカクマノミのコロニーもいくつか観察することが出来る。

This dive site offers a diverse topography with half drops, arches, and crevasses. You’ll find large sea fans and isobranchs at various spots, providing a habitat for goatfish. In the past, Dennis pygmy seahorses could be found here. What makes this dive site truly remarkable is the opportunity to encounter large fish species like giant trevally (GT), Napoleon wrasse, and giant grouper.

The dive site is named “Kouri Zanpo,“ which translates to “broken lingering waves“ in Okinawan dialect. This name stems from the island’s history when it once existed but was targeted by naval gunfire during the postwar U.S. military occupation, resulting in its collapse. The main attraction of this dive site is a drop-off that descends to a depth of 40 meters. Divers typically anchor on the north side of two wash rocks, allowing them to explore the Babel tower-like coral formations at the end of the drop-off. Divers can follow a route that starts in shallow water, passes through the first arch, proceeds to the second arch, and returns to shallow water. There are numerous other fascinating sights to explore, and various diving routes are available. The curtain of light filtering through the arches is a particular highlight that shouldn’t be missed!

Dive site name: Sand Cross or Yonbori This dive site offers a serene experience, featuring a complex network of coral formations and pure coral sand pathways that connect these formations. It presents a diverse topography with a combination of arches, tunnels, and crevices, teeming with a wealth of marine life. In the past, there was a substantial population of Yaemenid fishes, but unfortunately, over the last few years, around 80% of them have perished. Nevertheless, the corals in the shallower areas are making a remarkable recovery and returning to their former vibrant state.
