About Kuefu Island North
Kuefu Island North is a calm Chibishi Islands boat dive north of Naha, with shallow sandy seabeds, coral bommies, and a compact reef profile that works well for easy fun diving. The site is known for colorful coral structure and plenty of small reef life, including wrasse, goatfish, damselfish, nudibranchs, shrimp, and other critters. Plan on guided boat access and day-of shelter choice, because the islands are reached from Naha rather than by shore entry.
