The sun lifts slow and low over Miyakojima, and the ocean answers in an immediate, believable turquoise. You push off from a pocket of sand, board steady beneath you, and the reef-line unfurls like a mapped secret—shallow gardens of coral, bands of white sand, and the flash of parrotfish. Guides lead the line, scanning currents and pointing out a distant sandbar where the water runs a different blue.
