A friend of mine will be in Okinawa and wants to take a Discover Scuba type program. She'll be staying in Uruma (I think that's right), around the center of Okinawa Island, on the west side at the apex of a large bay. Her Japanese travel guide lists a site called Blue Cave which is about 7 meters deep and seems to be more a cavern with direct surface access than a true cave. Actually, it looks like a nice site I wouldn't mind diving myself, however I'm wondering if anyone knows that site and if it is really suitable for a trial dive. Her guidebook says Trial OK! My instinct is to wave her off, however I haven't heard of a huge spate of deaths or accidents in Okinawa related to the site. Can anyone WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE SITE give me their opinion please? Also, can anyone recommend any Japanese operators in the vicinity for a trial diver (I'd hate to lose my friend).
Thanks
