About Kamekichi
Kamekichi is a calm Kerama boat dive between Gishipu and Tokashiki islands, with a reef-and-sand layout that feels open and easy to read. The site is popular because the current is usually very light, turtles and clownfish are common, and the broad sandy stretches keep the dive relaxed instead of tight or technical. It works best on sheltered wind windows when you want an unhurried Okinawa dive day with plenty of time to watch the reef.
