One day of diving in japan

[buddhasummer]

Cool. Next time you're here with a bit more time give me a yell and I'm sure we can figure something out. Enjoy DL.

Miyakojima island in Okinawa is the best diving I've ever done bar none. You need to do boat dives but the water is so clear it's magical.

If you end up in Hokkaido you can let me know also. The diving here is pretty good but relatively cold.

It's a date, I'd love to. When money permits I'll hit you up. I have a dry suit. Summer temps? Here it's currently 16.

You are of course welcome too Simon, lol.

It’s boat diving and I go with a local group associated with the university. Summer temps are up to about 22 at the surface, bottom temp usually gets up to about 18-19. Right now it’s a balmy 8 degrees.

Toasty.

The island of Okinawa is on my must dive bucket list. Any recommendations who could provide guide and gear?

Yes, I do.

Do have a date in mind?

I did consider the month of May, but I've booked a dive vacation elsewhere for next month. What would be the best time of the year and what is the water temperature in Okinawa? I've heard Japan is still strict on COVID? Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
