The American sunken naval vessel, USS Emmons, found north of Kourijima, which is located north of Okinawa main island, makes up the diving spot of this area. The vessel was found and reported by local divers in February 2001. This location has the potential to become one of the best diving spots in the world.
The wreck hauntingly sits a fair way down on its starboard side amongst a large debris field. Unlike a lot of wrecks I’ve dived on, this one has little coral formed on it. There is a reasonable amount of marine life but the attraction is the wreck itself. We did two dives, the first stern to midship, the second from now to midship. The visibility was good but the surface conditions tough with large swells. We thoroughly enjoyed the dives on this beautiful piece of maritime history.
