Bora Cave, Miyakojima

Bora Cave is located about 500 meters from Bora Beach and is only accessible during very low tide. Since it was a full moon, the tides were low and we made the trek along the shore to cave. There is also a tour available that includes kayaks, but at $100 a pop it’s a bit expensive. The cave shots unfortunately didn’t come out to well since the camera was a little fogged up and the flash was off. Anyways, here are the photos.

This beach was shown to me by a very good friend and is still one of my favorites. Few people, easy access, and tons of life.

Here are some pictures I took while snorkeling at たぬびだ浜 (Tanubida Beach). It is a reef located about 150 meters off the shore on the northern part of Miyakojima. The point can be reached by snorkeling, but is also a popular spot for diving.

Some pictures from the inner reef at Majahama, Miyakojima. The outer reef is a great snorkeling point, but we went at low tide and couldn’t get to the outer reef because the water was too low.

Flying with Turtles- Yabiji, Miyakojima

This day I was actually working as a snorkeling guide. Once everyone was back on the boat I swam over to get a few pictures of the sea moss. Once I got close I noticed a few large shadows. There were originally 4 turtles, but only one stayed around to be photographed.
