Inan South - Okinawa Main Island
Inan South is a solid, easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The maximum depth is 16m, so you’ve got plenty of bottom time to explore the various small swim-throughs and crevices. We often spot lionfish tucked into the ledges and plenty of anemonefish in the shallows. It's a comfortable spot to get back in the water.
