About Sunabe No. 1
Sunabe No. 1 is a Chatan shore-entry dive site on Okinawa Main Island, known for its soft-coral flower-garden slope, easy beach entry, and beginner-friendly conditions. The route works along a gentle reef line with coral and fish close to shore, plus an underwater mailbox that adds a fun landmark. It is a relaxed place to explore close to the reef edge, with shallow-to-moderate water and a clear focus on coral and fish rather than long swims.
