Kamigu - Kerama Islands
Kamigu is a calm, shallow spot in the Kerama Islands, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The maximum depth is around 15 metres, so bottom time is generous. You’ll find plenty of small reef fish flitting between the coral patches and good light penetration even on overcast days. It’s a gentle introduction to the area’s marine life.
