Minna and Saesoko Island

Just west of the Motobu Peninsula is Minna Island, also affectionately known as “Croissant Island” due to its unusual crescent shape. This island is only four kilometres in circumference and surrounded by vibrant coral reefs, white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters.

There is also great variety underwater from hard coral reefs, to open sandy bottoms where an abundance of Garden Eels can be seen gently moving with the current. Dive sites around Minna Island are shallow and full of marine life, you may even be able to find Dory (Blue Tang) that are not seen at other sites around Okinawa!

Please Note:

The shipwreck of the USS Emmons is one of the more challenging yet adventurous dive sites here in Okinawa. The wreck lies at 36m/120ft to 45m/150ft deep and occasional currents can be strong. As a safety precaution, every participant is required to dive with us at a less challenging dive site prior to joining the USS Emmons trip. To be eligible, you must be able to demonstrate safe diving habits, such as good buoyancy and air consumption.
