Dive-site story
Located along the limestone cliffs of Onna on Okinawa's western coast, Toilet Bowl takes its name from a distinct circular rock churn and cavern formation. The site features dramatic vertical walls, swim-throughs, and sandy patches at the base of the reef where macro critters and larger pelagics cruise past.
Rugged limestone drop-offs riddled with crevices and cavernous topography
Frequent encounters with resting reef sharks and cruising sea turtles along the wall
Macro photography opportunities with nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses in sea fans
Location

Seasonality
