A world-class collection of topographical points
I often think about this, and have written about it on my blog, but what if these geographical features of Miyakojima (arches, caves, holes, crevasses, etc.) were on land instead of underwater?
Apply for World Heritage status!
If we told UNESCO about it, they would surely be the first to register it as a World Heritage Site, and the mass media would continue to introduce it as one of the world's most hidden places, as a mysterious spot in the Orient that attracts travelers from all over the world, as a coral island that rose over an incredibly long period of time,
The island is also characterized by its abundant spring water, which has continuously eroded the seabed into various shapes, creating holes, arches, and valleys, making it a place on par with other famous natural heritage sites.
Miyakojima's unique geology and spring water
There aren't just two or three such spots, but over 30 of them in a wide variety of shapes, so even if you walk around, it will take quite a while to see them all!
Furthermore, if you aim for the best time at each point, one or two days is not enough time. It would take that long to walk around, and if you dive around, it would take years to complete the tour.
A group of diving points in some of the world's best oceans
When it comes to marine World Heritage sites, famous examples include the Blue Hole in the Caribbean and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, but it is rare to find a unique environment like Miyakojima anywhere in the world.If we had to choose, the closest thing would probably be Mexico's cenotes.
That's how much lies dormant in this ocean.
If you have a license, please come and see what makes Miyako the "topography of Miyako." Come and experience it for yourself. I'm sure you'll find something here that you've never experienced before!
...Okay!
Today was another cool day! I thought I'd just wrap it up here, but I'll also report on today's beach experience!
Today's Sea
Anyway, the visibility on the first dive was amazing!!! You can't see past 40m! The visibility on the second and third dives is worse, but it's still solid at over 2,3m!
In the midst of all this excitement, the email announcing the formation of Typhoon No. 16 brought a sudden downturn. This perfect weather that has lasted for nearly 10 days will likely end in just a few days. There's no point in complaining, so I want to make the most of each day that comes my way and have fun with my guests.
See you tomorrow!

I've lived in Miyako Island for 21 years (since 2005). I specialize in fun diving. I select Miyako Island's three major dive sites more than 150 times a year, and I've done about 20,000 dives in Miyako Island. YouTube "Totty / scuba diving" shares Miyakojima diving information with more than twelve thousand subscribers.
