Kerama reef known for fire coral and many anemonefish.
Agariushi is a coral-rich reef south of Zamami toward Amuro where sloping hard coral, fire coral patches, and sheltered reef structure create one of the Keramas' best known anemonefish sites. The draw is not dramatic depth or current but the density of reef life in relatively gentle terrain, with clownfish, snappers, nudibranchs, and other small reef animals spread across coral heads and sandy pockets.

Scuba Diving
Agariushi works as a relaxed coral-and-fish scuba dive focused on shallow reef exploration, fish photography, and small-animal spotting.
Freediving
The shallow reef profile can suit guided freedive-style exploration in calm conditions, but the site is mainly run as a scuba reef dive from a boat.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work over the shallow coral and anemonefish zones in calm conditions, although organized trips usually prioritize scuba access.
