Diving in Miyako Island is,May-July, October and Novemberis the recommended time of year! This is the time of year when sea conditions are relatively stable.
Miyakojima Island is relatively warm throughout the year, and diving is possible year-round, but recommended areas and attractions change with the seasons.
For example, if you want to observe underwater life, it is recommended to aim for the spawning season, and if you want to observe the topography, autumn and winter are good times to do so, when the sea is clearer.
