Kerama Islands Diving

The Kerama Islands, a short boat trip from Okinawa's main island, offer advanced diving opportunities renowned for their exceptional "Kerama Blue" waters, frequently providing visibility exceeding 30 meters. Sunkissed Divers organizes three-dive trips to this pristine marine environment, departing from the Kadena area. These excursions utilize large, double-decker boats equipped with a sundeck, ample space, a dry room, hot showers, and toilets, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the day. The journey to the islands ranges from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the chosen dive site.

This advanced diving experience allows exploration of reefs teeming with life, boasting over 250 types of coral, including large sea fans and vibrant soft corals. Participants can expect to see schools of fish, clownfish, and garden eels, with frequent encounters with turtles. Seasonally, manta rays and humpback whales are also visible, adding to the rich biodiversity. The dive sites themselves offer variety, including drift dives and drop-offs that are particularly suited for advanced divers seeking a challenge.

Sunkissed Divers, a PADI-affiliated center, offers this advanced course, building upon foundational diving skills. While the specific depth for this advanced course isn't detailed, typical advanced dives in such locations can extend to 30 meters, allowing for exploration of deeper reef structures and potential encounters with larger pelagic species. The center's commitment to a positive diving experience is evident in their well-equipped vessels and operational efficiency, concluding the day around 15:00-16:00.

Participants are advised to bring their own lunch, though onboard amenities include boiling water and a microwave for convenience. The clear waters and abundant marine life make the Kerama Islands an excellent location for underwater photography, whether macro or wide-angle. This course is ideal for divers looking to expand their capabilities and explore one of Okinawa's most spectacular underwater landscapes with a reputable operator.
