Boat access and guide briefing are the practical default for this overhead site.
Naruhodo The Cave is a guided boat cave dive with a short tunnel, shifting light beams, and planning that depends on season and sun angle.
About Naruhodo The Cave
Boat-dived cave system on the Miyakojima and Shimojishima side, built around a short tunnel and a doughnut-like loop that brings you back toward the entrance. The site is more about structure and light than distance: bright shafts, darker pockets, and open chambers make it a photogenic overhead dive, while nearby reef sections add mixed small life. Plan it with a guide and pick calmer windows, because waves and timing shape how the cave feels.
