Diving      You never hear about Okinawa in any of the diving magazines, but that's OK since it's really one of the diving world's best kept secrets! Okinawa truly has some of the best diving in the world. The warm, clear water and the abundance of healthy coral reefs and sea life make diving one of the main attractions in Okinawa. The gaijin that live here and the Japanese from the mainland all know this and you see them out blowing bubbles at Sunabe Seawall and Maeda Point every weekend...
