Thank you Guilherme Sadovski for this epic video about our last dive! For those of you who don’t know the underwater geology of Hedo Misaki- or Cape Hedo- is simple. Starting from the cliffs, a steep slope is running towards the deep ocean and disappearing into the blue waters. The mixture of the strong currents and deep fresh waters are providing the necessary nutrition for a very diverse sea life. Between 5-15 meter, the constantly moving ocean has created massive crevasses and arches, providing hideaways for many fish species.
Around 20m, human sized corals filtering the water, while at 30m Giant Travelly is hunting in the shadows, looking for its prey.
Cape Hedo Dome is the most well known dive site in this area. It’s an ancient limestone cave, which was flooded over the millions of years by the rising ocean level, creating a unique air pocket inside the mountain, where you can come up to the surface. The only access to the dome is from underwater at around 8m deep and you will have to swim up in overhead environment for about 20 meters to arrive at the dome. A truly epic dive in Okinawa, Japan!
