Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Okinawa Area

I just dove an interesting dive site called Koganezaki Bay Park in the Shizukoa prefecture of West Izu peninsula, Japan. There are also apparently quite a few other shore diving sites in the Honshu area and also in Okinawa (where the diving's reputed to be even better). We saw lots of dragon moray eels (4 in two dives), a lionfish, lots of scorpionfish, rockfish, anemones, and even a couple of clownfish! Bill Stohler

Honto (the most populated Okinawan island) has a bunch of great shore diving sites. I did a four (Gorilla Chop, Maeda Point, and two Sunabe Seawall sites) while staying there for one week. Each site was different, and the dives were relaxing, 1 to 2-hour each (without a guide), in shallow waters, with lots of macro life to photograph. Highly recommended!
