About This Dive Spot
Okubo Hama is situated in the northern region of Miyakejima and is accessible only via a beach entry. The underwater landscape is characterized by lava formations that extend into the sea, with roots visible offshore. The dive site offers a significant area to explore both to the east and west, but divers cannot complete a full circuit in a single dive. The site is notable for its diverse macro life, including the presence of Japanese Pygmy Seahorses. Along the walls of the lava roots and in the shallow waters above, a variety of marine organisms can be observed. A prominent overhang provides habitat for numerous scorpionfish, and sea turtles are frequently spotted in the shallower areas.
