Okubo Hama
Okubo Hama is Miyakejima's main lava-root beach dive.
Beach-entry lava terrain, rich macro life, and good shore facilities make Okubo Hama a practical calm-day base.
About Okubo Hama
Okubo Hama is Miyakejima's main shore dive, reached from a black-gravel beach on the island's north side. The lava-root terrain spreads east and west from the entry, so the site works best one sector at a time rather than as a full circuit. Shallow water above the roots holds coral pockets and dense fish life, while the overhang gives macro subjects a sheltered nook. It is at its best on settled days, when the bay stays calm and the entry is easier.

Scuba Diving
The dive runs over lava roots that spread east and west, so most sessions work best as one focused sector rather than trying to cover the whole site.
