    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Kamiyama North is a good spot for a relaxed dive in the Kerama Islands. The main draw is a shallow reef, topping out at 15 metres, often busy with schooling reef fish and the occasional green turtle cruising by. We find it’s a nice intermediate site, perfect for those who want a less strenuous drift with plenty to observe without going deep. Visibility here is usually solid, making it easy to just unwind and watch the action.
