This dive site, Tokashiku Beach Front on Tokashiki Island, Okinawa, is renowned for its stunning "Kerama blue" waters and pristine white sands. As a shore entry dive, it offers easy access directly from the beach, making navigation straightforward. The site gently slopes, typically explored at shallow depths, providing a relaxed diving experience without complex currents or intricate underwater formations requiring advanced navigation.
The vibrant underwater ecosystem at Tokashiku Beach is home to frequent green sea turtle encounters, a major draw for divers and snorkelers alike. Beyond the iconic turtles, the site teems with tropical fish such as the colorful clownfish and butterflyfish. Divers can also marvel at a variety of vibrant corals and fascinating nudibranchs, adding rich macro photographic opportunities.
The best time to visit for optimal diving conditions typically aligns with Okinawa's warmer months, from spring through autumn, when water temperatures are comfortable and visibility is at its peak. Divers should plan visits during lifeguard operational hours for added safety, as swimming outside these times is at your own risk. The site is highly recommended for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow depths and excellent visibility.
