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.
