About Tetra Mae
Tetra Mae is a shore-accessed shallow reef at the entrance of Tsuya fishing port in Okinawa, set beside large breakwater tetrapods. The sandy bottom and tetrapod structure turn the area into a fish-attracting habitat, while the soft-coral anchoring area and Hamanomis colony make it a practical training site. It is especially useful for experience dives, snorkeling, and calm-day beginner freediving, but west wind and port traffic are the main planning limits.
