Dive-site story
Zamami Island anchors the Kerama Shoto National Park, known for the high water clarity termed Kerama Blue. Hard coral gardens spread over white coral sand, undercut bommies shelter macro life, and patch reefs slope gently. Sea turtles graze in shallow sea grasses or rest along reef shelves, while pelagics skirt outer drop-offs.
Branching and table coral fields across the seabed

White sand chutes interspersed with coral bommies hosting glassfish and anthias
