Maeda Point in Okinawa, Japan is the first search result, when looking for diving in Okinawa. And the reason for that is simple: it is a magnificent view, easy access by boat, suitable for beginners, but experienced divers can find their treasures as well.
You can often see school of fish hanging around the reef, octopuses hiding in the cracks and turtles swimming around the deeper parts.
Of course for many, the Blue Cave is the main attraction with it’s mesmerizing colours. The cave itself is open on the top, making it safe even for Padi Discover Scuba diving as you will always have access to the surface.
During our fun dives, we will visit the cave and the deeper outer reefs, together with a few crevasses along the cliff, giving you a good all around view of the dive site, before returning to the boat.
After a short break on the shore, we will return for our second dive either to the Blue Cave, or to Yamada Point, which is a mix of natural reefs and artificial coral farm, where marine biologist are trying to grow and protect many different types of corals together with Giant Clams.
