About Diving Spots in Onna Village
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, there are plenty! While the Blue Cave (Maeda Cape) is famous, Onna Village also has many spots with calm, shallow waters, and there are plenty of locations perfect for introductory diving. The experienced guides at the dive shops will take you to the best spots—based on the day’s sea conditions—where even beginners can safely enjoy tropical fish and coral.
Since “Manza Dream Hole” and “Tsubame no Ne” are sites with relatively deep waters and unique cave formations, they are generally intended for “recreational diving” by intermediate or advanced divers who hold a certification (C-card). For beginners, we recommend first getting accustomed to the ocean environment through a try-dive, then obtaining your certification and advancing to the next level before attempting these sites!
At many dive sites in Onna Village (such as off Manzamo and Coral), the main method of access is a “boat entry,” which involves a boat ride of a few minutes to about 10 minutes from the harbor. Boat diving has the major advantage that you don’t have to walk while carrying heavy gear, making it easy for even beginners or those who aren’t confident in their physical fitness to reach the dive sites. (*Note: At locations such as Cape Maeda, beach entry may also be an option.)
summary
Onna Village offers a variety of diving spots, including the Blue Cave, as well as a selection of dive shops where you can dive with confidence.One of Okinawa's Top Diving SpotsIt is.
If you're a beginner, start with a trial dive or a Blue Grotto tour; if you already have your certification, why not explore various dive sites on a recreational dive!
