Best for intermediate divers, 8-21m, boat entry, variable current.
Okinoshima Island is a reef site located 60 kilometres offshore, requiring boat access for all dives. The topography consists of a reef structure extending from 8 metres to 21 metres in depth. Visibility at this location is highly variable, ranging from 10 to 50 metres, and divers should be prepared for shifting currents. Due to the intermediate skill level required and the significant water temperature fluctuations between 15 and 26 degrees Celsius, divers should confirm current conditions with their boat operator before descent and select appropriate thermal protection for the season.
