Shallow shore dive on the Sunabe seawall
Shallow shore dive on the Sunabe seawall
Shallow shore-access dive off Sunabe in Chatan, Okinawa, centered on the birdcage and mushroom seawater intakes. Soft corals wrap the structures and bring in barracuda, butterflyfish, clownfish, nudibranchs, crabs, cuttlefish, and other small reef life, so it works as an easy day dive or a classic night dive when the sea is settled.
