About this dive site

This dive site, known as Seawall, is a highly popular shore entry location situated in Kadena, Okinawa. Its topography is characterized by a shallow, gradually sloping reef, making navigation straightforward and enjoyable for divers of all levels. The area is notable for artificial submarine cables that crisscross the seabed, providing unique structures and habitats for marine life. While lacking a specific historical narrative beyond its utility as a local shore dive, its accessibility and rich biodiversity contribute to its enduring appeal. The vibrant ecosystem of Seawall supports a diverse array of marine species. Divers can expect to encounter charismatic reef inhabitants such as clown fish, snappers, and butterflyfish. The site is particularly renowned for its macro life, including delicate anemone shrimp, the unique Monoceros mantis, spiny eels, yellow-spotted gobies, and even elusive frogfish, offering excellent opportunities for macro photography. With its consistently high water transparency, Seawall offers excellent diving conditions year-round, though specific seasonal highlights for certain species are not detailed. Its shallow depths and calm nature make it an ideal spot for extended bottom times and relaxed dives. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the site exceptionally suitable due to the clear, shallow waters and abundant marine life visible from the surface. For divers, it's an excellent location for skill practice, photography, and leisurely exploration.
