Iejima crevasse dive with light, tunnels, and drop-offs.
Ohoba No.1 Crevasse is a boat-access Iejima dive that pairs a narrow vertical cut with dome-like reef shapes and a deeper drop-off. The site is all about light, structure, and careful line-reading through the crevasse, with enough room for patient exploration but not the feel of a casual reef drift. It suits divers who want an overhead feature and a compact, methodical route.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
4m - 30m
Depth Note
A rocky tunnel about 15 m long sits on a surface around 4 m deep, while the broader site averages about 14 m and drops to roughly 30 m.
Best Season
Summer, when Ie Island's cavern and tunnel dives are the main draw.
Typical Conditions
Boat-access crevasse with overhead passages, dome-like shapes, and a deeper drop-off that rewards slow route-finding.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight through the tunnel and crevasse; the route is short but the overhead profile leaves little room for sloppiness.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; use the ferry and a guided boat dive.
Legal Notes
No special permit is noted; follow the operator's timing guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat-based scuba diving with terrain that includes caves/domes and drop-offs.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the overhead passage and deeper sections are better suited to scuba.

Only the shallowest approach is snorkel-friendly, if a guide offers it.
