Iheya

Iheya is a coastal village in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, set on the island of Iheya in Kunigami District. It is not a major urban dive hub, but the surrounding area offers access to reef sites and coastal dives around Iheya Island and nearby Okinawan waters. Dive infrastructure directly in the village is limited, with few or no centers, so most diving activity tends to originate from larger Okinawa bases or by arranging day trips from nearby towns. For divers, the area provides access to subtropical reefs, clear water, and marine life typical of the region, though conditions and access are best checked locally. If you’re targeting top Okinawa dives, consider nearby towns with established centers for guided trips and equipment."
