Why dive here
With 369+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, humpback whales, seahorses and sea turtles - Tonbara offers some of Kerama Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tonbara is one of the Keramas’ more exposed sites, and it can sometimes mean a brisk current. We usually see tuna and jacks zipping past the main rock structure, and if you hover a bit, reef sharks will often cruise by. The corals are healthy, mostly hard, and it’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a bit more action than the shallower, more sheltered reefs.
