The Kadena Marina ran a trip out there. I think they are going to make it a biannual event. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was $1400 for airfare, hotel, food, boat, tanks, for 3 days, 3 dives each day.

My LDS was trying to run a trip last Golden Week, but it was just too expensive. I, personally, consider that a bit steep. Still, would be cool to see the hammerheads...
The owner of my LDS just laughed when I asked his opinion on if it was man-made.

I would love to go out there. Personally, I can't believe that they are naturally occuring.

I too would love to go to see this site. Intriguing to say the least, fascinating is a better description. Alas, I can only dream right now.

I first got to know of this site when I watched a Hongkong horror film (very very poor movie). It doesn't matter if it is natural or man-made, the site will be interesting irregardless. In fact all the debates about whether it is man made or natural makes it even more interesting than if one already know the answer.

um, I'm sorry... anyone who looks at those pictures and says they are naturally occurring is a freaking idiot...

there is zero way possible that mother nature made those perfect angles and perfectly flat terraces...

I recall from my basic Earth Science class that there are many types of rock that have naturally occuring perfect angles. I've personally seen natural formations in the wild that are inspiring and would on the surface seem to be of unnatural origin, but are just examples of mother nature at work. FTR, I've never been to site in question and whether it's naturally occuring or manmade effects me little. Just pointing out that nature can be decieving.

Hmm

Always wanted to dive Japan ... my fiance's sister lives near there and turns out is interested in checking it out. Just wish it wasn't so expensive to vacation in Japan ...
