Plongée à Ogasawara (Bonin Islands) — Japan
Ogasawara is a UNESCO World Heritage archipelago 1,000 km south of Tokyo, reachable only by a 24-hour ferry that runs weekly. The isolation has preserved extraordinary marine life including wild dolphin pods, sand tiger shark caves, and winter humpback whale calving grounds. It's Japan's most remote diving destination and feels like a different planet.
