Two Taiwanese divers are reported to have died after entering an underwater cave or cavern at a depth of around 30m in western Japan. The men were diving off Okinawa’s main island. According to regional media they were a 28-year-old surnamed Zhang, who had travelled to Okinawa with four friends, and a 24-year-old instructor surnamed Shao.
They were diving from a boat that had left Seragaki fishing port and headed to a point about 800m north of Manza Beach, near the town of Onna. The Manza area is known among scuba divers for its underwater topographical features including caves and caverns, and sometimes strong currents.
