Miyakojima

Miyakojima is a tropical island in Okinawa Prefecture, known for its clear waters and laid-back access to offshore dive sites. It serves as a gateway for boat dives to nearby coral reefs and walls in the Yaeyama region. Divers typically access multiple reef sites by local dive centers from the coast, with options for beginners through advanced, depending on conditions and currents. The island offers warm water year-round, gentle to moderate visibility in good conditions, and a rich macro and pelagic mix at outer reefs. Being a small island, sea conditions can change quickly, so it’s best to check daily forecasts and go with a local operator.
