Maeshima, July 1995, Marilyn Koukol, Okinawa. "Island just west of Okinawa populated by a few goats and summer campers. Diving is rich with tabletop or staghorn coral and sea fans sway in the current. An occasional reef shark will glide through the crevices with a skate close behind. Clown triggers, egg cowries, triton trumpets. Beautiful dive location."

Okinawa, July 1995, Bill Robinson, Oklahoma City, OK. "Shore dives and small boat dives. I would not go to Okinawa just to dive. Meals are expensive."

Sesoko Island, April 1996, Marilyn Koukol, FPO AP. "Small island off Motobu Peninsula. Favorite places to camp and dive. Current really kicking! On one dive we saw 5 sting rays, moray, huge shark. Either a long walk or long snorkel to the wall, but worth it. Huge sea fans have been snagged in nets and are really messed up. Cuttlefish prevalent. vis: 60­80 ft. water: 74°."
