Kerama overview with seasonal diving context and recommended points including Jitsuru.
Open-ocean Kerama drift dive with strong current, sea fans, and mixed pelagics; best when a boat operator can time the tide and site choice.
About Jitsuru
Jitsuru is an open-ocean Kerama drift dive with strong current, varied topography, and sea fans that make it a favorite for photographers. The site can turn up eagle rays, manta rays, pygmy seahorses, harlequin shrimp, reef sharks, giant trevally, and tuna, so it rewards divers who like movement and big-water energy rather than a static reef. Good conditions and an experienced guide matter here.
