Imazuni

This dive site, Imazuni, is a highly popular and easily accessible spot located on the north side of Kume Island in Japan, just a 5-minute boat ride from the local harbor. It's often mentioned alongside Tombara as a premier diving location in the area. The site offers a vibrant reef system and is known for its diverse marine encounters, making it a favorite among local and visiting divers. Divers can expect to encounter a wide array of marine life, from impressive migratory fish like bigeye trevally and bluefin tuna, to larger residents such as pike and the iconic Napoleon wrasse. The site also boasts beautiful and brightly colored coral formations, providing a habitat for species like floundering flounder, red-headed flounder, snapper, and various groupers, contributing to a rich ecosystem. The best time to visit Imazuni would likely align with general good diving seasons in Okinawa, typically spring to autumn, when water temperatures are warmer and conditions are favorable. Its moderate depths make it suitable for both scuba divers of all levels and freedivers. For photographers, both wide-angle opportunities with the big fish and macro possibilities within the corals exist.
