About Maeda Sentan
Maeda Sentan is a shore-access reef off Cape Maeda in Onna Village, Okinawa, known as a quieter alternative to the nearby Blue Cave. Long coral-root structures and a preserved reef face create a relaxed route with good reef relief and enough structure to keep the dive interesting. Expect reef fish, macro life, and an easy setup that works best when you time the entry around the day's sea state and tide.
