Oike is a sheltered marine lake dive in Minami Ise.
Oike is a rare marine lake in the Aigaura area of Minami Ise, with a sheltered basin that suits beginner training and slow, close-range exploration. It rewards calm buoyancy, simple navigation, and a plan built around macro life and protected water rather than long open-water swims. Divers come here for the quiet lake-like feel, small critters, and the chance of larger migratory visitors when conditions line up.
