Dive Spot Guide•
Kamene
Kamene is Mikomoto’s signature hammerhead drift dive.
Boat-only drift diving for experienced scuba divers, with strong current, guide control and a summer-to-fall shark window.
About Kamene
Kamene is Mikomoto Island’s signature shark drift dive, reached by boat and shaped by the current more than by a fixed route. Divers come here for hammerheads and other pelagics moving along the island edge, with the dive run managed as a real drift rather than a casual reef cruise. It is best for experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with changing current, guide discipline and no-rope ascent planning. Summer to fall is the main window, when shark action is emphasized and the site is at its most famous.
