Dive-site story
Located off the coastal perimeter of Green Island Airport, this site features a sweeping submerged reef shelf interspersed with sandy channels. Kuroshio-fed waters wash over extensive fields of branching hard corals and spreading soft coral carpets. Divers often navigate low-profile coral ridges before reaching open sand patches colonized by garden eels and foraging rays.
Expansive fields of staghorn and leather soft corals spread across a gently sloping bottom
Colonies of garden eels swaying above patches of clean white sand
