Sunayama Reef Okinawa
Okinawa · Japan
A sheltered coral garden in calm water that serves as the ideal first open-water experience in Okinawa. Staghorn and table corals carpet the sandy reef top between 5 and 12 metres, and the gentle current brings a steady parade of reef fish that beginners can observe without fighting conditions.
