Sea Wall Steps - Kerama Islands
The Sea Wall Steps offers a good wall dive, dropping away from the Kerama coastline. Look for the cracks and crevices where moray eels often hide, and keep an eye on the blue for schooling fusiliers. It's a straightforward drift for experienced divers, though beginners will want calmer conditions. We find it’s best when the current isn’t too strong.
