Uruma outer-reef coral wall for certified boat divers
The site is run as a local boat dive on the Uruma Barrier Reef.
South to South is a boat-accessed outer-reef dive south of Ukibaru Minami Island, just beyond the Uruma Barrier Reef. It is known for oversized Ryukyu cabbage corals, a scenic coral wall, and a deeper profile that rewards certified divers who are comfortable with boat logistics, changing reef exposure, and a steady pace along the reef edge as conditions shift.

Scuba Diving
Certified boat dive with a coral-rich outer reef and deeper drop-off.
