    Yamada Sunachi is a mellow spot just off Okinawa's main island, perfect if you’re looking for an easy dive. The whole site stays around 13 metres, making it a comfortable run for newer divers or those who just want to unwind. We’ve had some lovely slow drifts here, watching whip corals sway and anemones pulse with their resident clownfish. It’s not a place for big pelagics, but if you enjoy taking your time spotting nudibranchs or watching groups of juvenile damsels dart around, you’ll find plenty to keep your eyes busy.
