Sunabe is one of Okinawa’s most popular dive spots (second perhaps to Maeda Point). This is due to several factors: great visibility (usually averages around 40-50 feet), a general lack of sudden current changes (many other Okinawa dive sites are not so fortunate), and lots of entertaining marine life hanging around the coral reef.



Just beyond the large concrete "jacks" lie miles and miles of soft coral and limestone rocks, cracks, crevasses, and short cliffs waiting for you to explore. Diving is generally shallow with maximum depths around 60 feet.
