Detailed Description   

Available off of the Yomitan Peninsula.  Hook up with Reef Encounters, Torii Station Dive Locker, or Kadena Marina for the latest on prices (currently, as of Aug 07, $115 per diver).  Dive usually lasts about 1 hour, but you have to catch a boat ride out to the area they have the sharks netted off inside - takes a couple extra hours for all the extra spin-up, boat drive, the dive itself, and the return. 

 

Highly recommended by two friends of ours who have done this.  Some folks also buy the video afterwards (a bit pricey).
