Both day and night dives. Day time has plenty to offer from the 20 -80 ft range and then 80 ft to the floor at roughly 160 feet. lots of divers marine life to be seen here with the occasional shark. Be mindful when trying to exit near the beach area due to often heavy current at roughly 20 feet.

I am looking forward to taking a dive here within the next year or so! Do you have any suggestions?

My suggestion would be to be very careful getting in and out. It is one of the more treacherous shore dives on Okinawa, up there with Bolo Point (Zanpa Misaki) and Toilet Bowl. Make sure you know the tides before you head out and be careful of strong currents in this area. If you’re looking for another awesome dive that’s close by, my personal favorite site on Okinawa is right around the corner. Toilet Bowl is the name given, because of its bowl shape entry/exit point, and is just as difficult to get in/out of if not more. Let me know when you head out to Okinawa and I will see if my old dive buddies will be around to show you the sites. It has been a long time since I have been to the island and I don’t have any pics of the area on hand but I will try to find some on google!
