Kin Red Beach

This dive site, Kin Red Beach in Kanatake, Okinawa, is a calm, shallow location ideal for divers of all levels, especially beginners. Sheltered from northerly winds, it offers year-round diving on sandy-muddy terrain. Navigation is straightforward given the minimal depth and the presence of artificial structures which serve as aggregation points for marine life. The site is famously known as a "nudibranch sanctuary," boasting an incredible abundance and variety of these colorful sea slugs. Beyond nudibranchs, divers can discover monoceros and anemone shrimp, elusive frogfish, unique leaf eels, and various swallow fish. This rich macro life makes it a prime spot for critter enthusiasts and underwater photographers. Kin Red Beach is accessible year-round due to its consistently calm conditions. While visibility can be low, the exceptional macro opportunities more than compensate, especially for those interested in small marine species. It's highly suitable for both snorkeling and freediving due to its shallow average depth of 4 meters.
