And over 200 dives in Tropical Okinawa, Japan
Come to Okinawa for World Class Diving! Some have stated the to corals are better than the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. We have sharks, rays, turtles, caves, and recks. Diving is cheep, visit one of the US MWR facilities one island for cheep rentals. There are over 100 shore dives you can do on the main island of Okinawa. Yanaguni may be the oldest civilized structure on the planet dated to 10,000 BC only found on Okinawa. We have the USS Emmons a destroyer that was kamakazied during WWII. You can find WWII ordinace just off shore. We have a cave (Hedo Dome) that was inhabited by pre-historic peoples on the north end of the island where the entrance is at 65 feet. Water is 80F in the summer and sites can get 100ft vis (typhoons dependant). The macro for photographers is outstanding with over 1000 nudibranc's, sea fans, and soft corals. We have an style of manatee called the dugoon. Dive with the Whale Shark for $115. Drift dives are out of this world with swift currents that will pass you by sea fans as big as a US car...well I exagerate a little I mean a Japanese car! Dive with the Humpback Whales in March. You can Photograph Sea Horses. For the non diver you can visit the second largest aquarium in the world north of Nago. Jacques Yves Cousteau stated that Okinawa was one of his favorite dive spots.
"From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free."

We dive Lake Rawlings almost every weekend in the summer. There is a new plane there for those who did not know it. We (Tri-city SCUBA) are the closest dive shop to the lake. If you ever need a buddy to dive with down there give us a call or rmail us at training@tricityscuba.com - thanks, Scott
