DIVE IN OKINAWA - Kerama Islands
The team at DIVE IN OKINAWA are your go-to for diving the Kerama Islands. We’ve always found their Korean-speaking instructors make for a really comfortable, clear experience, especially when you’re dealing with the finer points of dive planning or just chatting on the boat between dives. They specialise in small group trips, which means less elbow jostling and more space to really appreciate the reef. If you’re a PADI diver looking to explore the famous Keramas, and appreciate that extra layer of multilingual comfort, these are your people. We love their focus on the smaller, often overlooked sites around Tokashiki and Zamami. Think drift dives over fields of garden eels at Tokashiku, or navigating the intricate swim-throughs at Blue Cave with schools of cardinalfish swirling around you. The water here, especially in late spring, has this incredible sapphire hue. You feel the current push you gently, then ease off as you duck behind a coral bommie to watch a reef shark glide past. Our favourite tip for diving with DIVE IN OKINAWA is to ask about their early morning trips; getting to a site like Sand Triangle before the bigger boats arrive means you often have the massive schools of fusiliers and trevally almost to yourself. It’s a completely different vibe, much more serene. Just be prepared for potential stronger currents if you’re heading out during a spring tide.
