Why dive here
With 262+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, humpback whales, seahorses, sea turtles and clownfish - Maeda Point offers some of Okinawa Main Island's richest cave diving.
Maeda Point on Okinawa Main Island is best known for the Blue Cave, a sea grotto where sunlight refracts through the water, creating an ethereal glow. Outside the cave, the reef offers a straightforward dive, with plenty of small reef fish like damselfish and anemonefish inhabiting the shallows. It's a busy spot, especially on weekends, but good for less experienced divers looking for an easy shore entry and a unique natural light show. Expect crowds, but the cave itself is quite striking.
