Kumejima

Kumejima is a small island town in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. It’s known for its coastal setting and access to local dive sites around the island. The area offers standard warm, temperate conditions with clear water and coral habitats typical of the western Pacific. Divers visiting Kumejima can find a few local dive centers offering introductory dives and guided trips to nearby reefs and rocky coastal sites. The island’s dive scene is modest but practical for day trips from the town, with a focus on local reef ecosystems and marine life common to subtropical Japanese waters.
