Experience a Full Day of Scuba Diving in the Kerama Islands
Just a short boat ride from Naha, the Kerama Islands offer some of the most spectacular scuba diving in Okinawa. Known for their crystal-clear waters—often called “Kerama Blue”—these islands are home to vibrant coral reefs, tropical reef fish, and Okinawa’s famous sea turtles.
If you are visiting Okinawa and wondering what a full-day dive trip looks like, here is exactly what you can expect when you explore the Kerama Islands with experienced local specialists.
Morning: Hotel Pickup in Naha and Boat Departure
Your day begins with a convenient hotel pickup in Naha. No need to worry about transportation or logistics—we make it easy so you can focus entirely on enjoying your dive experience.
After arriving at the marina, our team prepares the equipment and gives a full safety briefing. Whether you are an Open Water diver or Advanced certified, we carefully explain:
- The day’s dive sites
- Water conditions and currents
- Entry and exit procedures
- Marine life you may encounter
- Safety protocols
The boat ride to the Kerama Islands usually takes about 40-50 minutes. During the journey, you can relax on deck, enjoy the ocean breeze, and watch the islands gradually appear on the horizon.
Three Dives in the Kerama Islands (Example of a Typical Day)
Please note that the following dive profiles are examples of a typical three-dive day. Dive sites are selected based on sea conditions, weather, and the experience level of the group to ensure safety and the best possible underwater experience.
First Dive: Relaxed Diving Over White Sand and Coral Reefs
Our first dive is usually a calm and relaxed exploration over beautiful white sandy bottoms and vibrant coral reefs. This is the perfect way to ease into the day and adjust your buoyancy while enjoying Kerama’s famous crystal-clear visibility.
We often take our time here, slowly cruising above coral gardens and searching for Okinawa’s gentle sea turtles. Watching a turtle glide effortlessly through the blue water is a moment many divers never forget.
This dive is suitable for both beginners and experienced divers, offering a peaceful and scenic start to the day.
Second Dive: Caves and Unique Underwater Topography
The second dive is where the adventure begins. We typically explore caves, swim-throughs, and fascinating rock formations shaped by centuries of ocean movement.
Sunlight beams shining through cave openings create dramatic underwater scenery—perfect for photography and unforgettable memories.
Our guides carefully brief you on navigation and safety, ensuring everyone feels comfortable while enjoying Kerama’s exciting underwater terrain.
Third Dive: Dynamic Landscapes, Anthias, and Reef Sharks
The third dive often takes us to more dynamic terrain, where dramatic reef structures drop into deeper blue water.
Here, you may encounter:
- Schools of colorful anthias (hanadai) dancing above the reef
- Larger reef fish cruising the drop-offs
- Occasional reef sharks patrolling in the distance
When sea conditions allow, we sometimes conduct this dive as a gentle drift dive. Drifting along the reef with the current lets you cover more ground effortlessly while observing marine life in its natural flow.
It’s an exciting and memorable way to end the day in the Kerama Islands.
Returning to Naha
After the final dive, we return to Naha in the afternoon. Back at the marina, we:
- Assist with logging dives
- Provide transportation back to your hotel
You’ll finish the day tired—but in the best possible way, with memories and photos that will last a lifetime.
Why European Divers Love Diving in Kerama
Divers visiting from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and other European countries often tell us the same thing:
- Visibility rivals the Maldives
- Coral health is exceptional
- Sea turtles are frequently seen
- The experience feels safe and professionally guided
Because Okinawa is less crowded than many Southeast Asian destinations, the underwater environment feels natural and unspoiled—perfect for travelers seeking an authentic diving adventure.
