Ugan - Kerama Islands

Ugan often gets overlooked for flashier Kerama spots, but it’s a solid intermediate dive. We find the main attraction is a series of small swim-throughs and overhangs at around 12-15m, often revealing resting reef sharks or schooling glassfish. It’s a comfortable depth, making it good for extending your bottom time and working on buoyancy in tighter spaces. If you’ve done the more famous sites and want something a little quieter, Ugan is a good choice.
