About Pink Marlin Buoy
Pink Marlin Buoy is the Cape Maeda Blue Cave area in Onna, a shallow and very popular Okinawa site where the cave glow, nearby coral reef, and easy access make it a favorite for beginners. The dive works best as a guided, calm-water outing, with the main planning question being timing around crowding and the light inside the cave.
