About this site
Nakayukui is a dive site at Cape Manza in Okinawa, reached by a beach entry. The bottom is a mix of sandy ground and reef hills, with a maximum depth of 30 metres and a main dive area around 21 metres.
Some divers stay on top of the reefs at about 6 metres to look for sleeping turtles, while others search the sand for tiny creatures. Sea turtles are very likely to be seen along the way. Divers have also reported frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, pipefish and spotted eagle rays.
