Paraiso - Kerama Islands

Paraiso, sitting just on the edge of the national park, can be a decent drift dive. We often find the currents here a bit stronger, which helps bring in some bigger schools. You’ll frequently see blue-striped snapper, amberjacks, and sometimes a swirling school of horse-eye jacks or barracuda. Keep an eye out for wahoo patrolling the blue. It’s a good spot for beginners who want a taste of a mild drift, and if you’re diving in winter, you might just hear the humpbacks singing.
