Kadena North Marker

No reviews yetJapan, Ryukyu archipelago, Okinawa Island

First, North of this location an Ammo ship from WWII went down full, sea mines and other things have been found in the area, so STAY SAFE!!! Now, here you can see everything from eels to shrimp to puffers, even a stray shark or ray from time to time. I have seen six different eels there myself. With the oval shape of the reef you can do a loop of it once or twice and see many amazing things. Night Diving is just as amazing. The red light blinks giving you the markers location out in the water. Everything from decorated crabs to spiny lobsters and conga eels are seen then. With the mild swim in and out many do a second dive on the much closer reef along the shore. Park Along Fence at north corner. High Tide is best. Two ways in the water. One is over the big steps and down them into the water, my preferred method. Second is up the normal steps and down them into the water, There is more then twice the reef to go over this way. Once in the water look out at the red and white boat lane marker, it is on the reef you are diving. Surface swim to the marker, do checks, enjoy the dive. Kadena North Marker is also known as Sunabe North Marker.

Sunabe

No reviews yetJapan, Ryukyu archipelago, Okinawa Island

Lots of great crevices and abundant sea life. Access can be a little tricky if waves are large. Recommend wearing protective foot wear for walk-in/out as the reef can be hard on your feet. Great assortment of species such as lion fish, sea snakes, puffer fish and parrot fish. Low surge in this area with great visibility. Have heard that this is also a tremendous night dive! Park near the Junkyard and close to an opening in the seawall. Access is walk in, there are reefs right up to the seawall, be careful as you dive the depth increases gradually with so much to see you may lose track of how deep you are. Sunabe is also known as Junkyard.
