Relaxed Tokashiki reef with cable feature, turtles, and shallow coral.

About Ariga Cable
Ariga Cable is a boat-access reef dive off the west side of Tokashiki where an underwater cable runs along the seabed across clear Okinawan water, sandy patches, and healthy shallow coral. The site is generally treated as an easygoing reef dive, known more for regular turtle encounters, small reef fish, and bright coral in the shallows than for aggressive current or technical depth.
