Pink Marlin Buoy
★★★★☆
(478)
The Pink Marlin Buoy in Onna Village, Okinawa, is a top dive site about an hour from Naha Airport. Accessible by boat or beach, it’s famous for the “Blue Cave,” where sunlight creates a stunning blue glow. You can surface inside, though expect many snorkelers.
Near the surface, spot Gurukuma, Gurukun, and Japanese Crayfish, plus schools of sparrowfish, hawksbill, snappers, and rare red clownfish—with frequent sea turtle sightings.
