OKINAWA HOT SPOT 2
Blue Cave (Maedamisaki)




Diving @ Blue Cave

It is a located at the village called Onna. 
A blue cape cave exudes a mysterious blue light to the area for Snorkeling.

Originally, 
it is a blue cave for fishermen to use the temporary place of refuge from typhoon.
At the entrance, the sunlight reflected on the water and make the whole cave in the light of blue sea color!
That is why it is called Blue Cave!

In a sunny day,
a blue flag is hanged on the top of the hill. 
Therefore, everyone will bring with them all the diving equipment and flippers, 
put on a breathing tube to enjoy diving!


This time we made the reservation here!
Just 5-min from Blue cave!
(You know what the owner looks really alike to Masaharu Fukuyama!!! )



@ Snorkeling or diving is better to be accompanied by guidance ~ lol

This time, our instructor has been working in Tokyo before; 
then since getting hooked by the charm of Blue Cave, 
he went over to Okinawa far from Tokyo to get the license!!!
Now, he is here to tell and show the charm of the Blue Cave to both foreign and Japanese visitors!
Thanks for helping us to push the shutter!! 
You will be surprised of his amazing power and passion!




@ Blue Cave

Mysterious light

Because the light is very dark inside the cave
If you are using the general waterproof camera, flash is certainly needed!
Since a lot of people come to visit all the time,
so watch out for people around and safety!

Charm in Okinawa
Don't miss it!
