Trip Idea: Underwater Ruins of Yonaguni

This is a future trip idea. There are some mysterious underwater ruins off an Island of Japan, 68 miles east of Taiwan. They were discovered by accident as a scuba diver ditched his group and wandered off. These ruins are about 8000 years old. Some think it is the lost continent of Mu whiles others think it the result of geological forces. Either way it looks amazing and one day I want to dive it.
