Why dive here
With 369+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, humpback whales, seahorses and sea turtles - Umagai offers some of Kerama Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Umagai is a gentle entry site, perfect for newer divers in the Keramas. We typically find schools of snapper and fusiliers hanging out near the sandy bottom at 27 metres. The conditions are usually calm, making it a good spot for buoyancy practice or just taking it easy. It's a relaxed dive if you're not chasing big pelagics.
