Muck diving in Okinawa

Okinawa is well known by its beautiful coral formations, incredible visibility and diverse marine life ranging from green turtles to dive while hearing humpback whales communicating during winter time .

What is not so well known is that Okinawa also offers a great option for the lovers of different creatures and for the avid underwater photographers that is the Muck diving!!

It is possible to find so many different and sometime unique kinds of nudibranchs ( specially in the winter time ), also little frogfishes, ghost pipefishes, pygmy sea horses, scorpion fishes, little crabs, shrimps, octopus and so much more!

If you live in Asia or if you are traveling to Japan for vacations or work, don`t miss the opportunity to stop in Okinawa for a few days, it is really an amazing experience for divers !
