Yokohishi

Yokohishi is situated in Uruma City, Okinawa, and is notable for housing one of the largest common shikoro corals, also known as mussel coral, on the main island. Although it has diminished in size over the years, it remains a significant feature of the site. Divers can navigate through a sandy passage leading to two large roots adorned with impressive isobana, which provide excellent photographic opportunities. The dive site reaches a maximum depth of approximately 22 meters, and divers should be aware that currents can be strong during high tide. The marine life observed here includes a diverse array of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and sea turtles, as well as unique species such as anglerfish, frilled shrimps, Monoceros, and various nudibranchs, all thriving among one of the largest colonies of common and blue corals globally.
