Cape Maeda
Okinawa · Japan
Okinawa's most celebrated shore dive delivers a cavern passage that opens onto a dramatic wall draped in soft corals and sea fans. Green sea turtles rest on ledges at 10 metres and cruise the cavern mouth throughout the year, making this the single best introduction to Okinawa diving for intermediate divers who want a mix of geology and marine life.
