UMI DIVE OKINAWA

The Sunabe Seawall is a 2-kilometer concrete seawall in Chatan, Okinawa, just north of American Village. It was built decades ago to protect the coast from typhoons, and today it’s the most-dived shore site on the island. Ark Dive/Chain is in the middle and it’s the most popular option.

Easy entry/exit. Always plenty of fish to see. Seen some bigger fish at this dive site. Eagle Ray, Octopus, Blue Spotted Ray, Cuttlefish and Turtles

This dive site is located on the Miyagi Coast of Chatan Town, Okinawa Prefecture. Located in front of the Chatan Water Treatment Plant, there is a device that inhales and exhales seawater at a depth of about 13 meters. It looks like a UFO. When the water purification plant is in operation, warm water is produced from this underwater device, which makes the water around the site a little warmer. Boat diving and shore diving are available.
