A 100-meter-long shipwreck lying off the coast of Kouri Island
Go to USS EmmonsThis is a wreck tour that dives the 100-meter-long USS Emmons (U.S. Navy minesweeper destroyer Emmons), which lies off Kouri Island in the northern part of Okinawa's main island.
After a 20-minute boat ride from Kouri Island, you will arrive at the point.
The Emmons is sunk so that it lies on its side, with a depth of 34 meters at the top of the boat and 46 meters below the boat. We dove down to the top of the boat at 34m!

◆ World War IIImpressive Dive with History & Spectacular ViewsYou can enjoy theEmmons is a wreck about 100 meters long, so it is tough to dive in one dive, so we will split the dive into two dives to see it.
There are also some great photo opportunities, such as a torpedo about 2 meters down at the bottom of the water and an even larger sea fans behind it.
The big cannon reaching for the sky and the big propeller behind it are also very powerful.
There are schools of threadfin snappers, large groupers, and even manta rays!
[Diving style
note (supplementary information) symbolFor intermediate and abovenote (supplementary information) symbolBecause of the current and the depth of the water, the dive will be a decompression dive for those with 100 or more dives (or with the same level of skill) and experience in deep dives, as the maximum depth is 46 meters.
*Please understand the risks associated with decompression dives before making a reservation.
A check dive is also required the day before.
