Dive Spot Guide•
Kurima Beach
Shore dive in Kurima with coral heads and plenty of fish.
Kurima Beach is a beginner-friendly shore dive on a shallow sandy slope, with easy access from the beach and calm-water planning around wind direction.
About Kurima Beach
Shore-access dive on Kurima Island in the Miyakojima area of Okinawa. The entry drops from a beach onto a shallow sandy slope with coral heads and plenty of fish, so it works well for try-dives, refresher dives, and easy photo runs. Plan it as a calm-weather shore dive with tidy buoyancy, a short walk to the water, and extra caution when northerly winds pick up.

Safety Notes
Watch the wave period on windy days, keep your buoyancy clean around the coral heads, and treat the entry as a beach dive rather than a deep site.
Access Restrictions
Use the beach entry and plan around wind direction; conditions can shift enough that the operator may move meeting points on rough days.
Legal Notes
Follow the operator’s meeting-point instructions and local beach-access rules; park and shoreline conditions can change with weather.
Local Intel For Kurima Beach
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Often used for try-dives, training dives, and night diving because the slope is shallow and easy to read.
Freediving
A reasonable calm-day freedive spot for experienced freedivers, but surf and wind matter more than depth here.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best on settled days; the shallow reef starts close to shore and fish can be visible from the surface.
