Dive Spot Guide•
Mogurin
Mogurin is a boat reef dive in Onna with a shallow shelf and drop-off.
Mogurin is a guided boat dive from Onna, with a shallow reef top, outer drop-off, and a calmer, less crowded feel than nearby Blue Cave diving.
About Mogurin
Mogurin is a boat dive off Onna Village's Cape Maeda area, known for an easygoing reef profile and a quieter feel than the Blue Cave. The shallow shelf holds anemones, soft coral, and small reef fish, then the site drops away to a deeper outer edge where larger fish can rest in the rock. It works well for newer divers who want simple boat logistics and a relaxed, wildlife-focused dive.

Local Intel For Mogurin
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Begins on a shallow shelf, then runs out to a deeper outer edge and drop-off. It suits newer divers who still want a more interesting reef line than a flat lagoon.
Freediving
Confident freedivers can use the shallow shelf in calm water, but the site is better treated as a guided, controlled session than an all-day breath-hold playground.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on the shallow top in calm weather, but Mogurin is much better as a dive than as a snorkel-first stop.
