About This Dive Spot

Chishi is located on the northern side of Zamami Island in the Kerama Islands, approximately one hour by boat from Naha. This dive site is particularly popular during the summer months when the winds are from the south. It features a series of crevices within the reef, making it an ideal spot for divers interested in underwater topography. The site is known for its clear coral formations and is also frequented by skin divers. The crevices are one-way, which can lead to increased traffic during peak times, but it remains one of the top summer dive locations in the Kerama Islands. Marine life includes green sea turtles, golden damselfish, sleepy cod, sea slugs, and various species of clownfish, as well as moray eels, pufferfish, lionfish, butterflyfish, and lobsters.
