I just wanted to post this link of videos of more on the Yonagunijima and other Okinawa underwater ruins.

OK! I told myself that I was not going to post these but I guess I just couldn't resist it. These are supposed to be pics of the underwater ruins at Yonagunijima. These were taken from a tour aboard a boat. I can't dive so this was the only way. The boat ride to the ruins is about 10-15 minutes and was a real nice ride. A little rough with the waves splashing up, at times. When we reached the ruins everyone goes into this area that is actually underwater...it has windows to view whatever is underwater (like a sub). As soon as I went down to this area, I got sick!!!! I had my camera in one hand and my video camera in the other. I tried so hard to take photos but just couldn't. I was concentrating so hard not to puke the best I could do was hold my video camera up. "Forget shooting with my still cam. Forget focusing. Forget even trying to see the ruins. Just don't puke!" And guess what! I didn't puke! Isn't that something.... I was so proud. Anyway, I did manage to get it all on video and man, what a sight!

Some people believe that these are not ruins left by civilization but patterns left by wear and tear from waves and time. I don't know how much those people were smoking but there is no way that this in not man made. Take a look here. And here too. What do you think?
