Dive Spot Guide•
Aosango
Shallow Okinawa blue-coral reef with turtles and clear water.
Easy shallow coral site on Okinawa's east coast; the main appeal is blue coral and clean visibility, not depth or heavy current.
About Aosango
Aosango is a shallow east-coast Okinawa reef best known for its unusually broad blue-coral field and surrounding hard-coral garden, where bright sand and clear water make the site feel open and easy rather than technical. Divers and freedivers usually come for coral scenery, hawksbill turtle encounters, and relaxed reef life such as goatfish and small schooling fish rather than for depth or overhead features.
