About Kamiyama Labyrinth
Kamiyama Labyrinth is a boat dive south of Kamiyama Island in the Chibishi / Kerama area, usually reached in about half an hour from Naha. The site is a shallow maze of reef crevices, swim-throughs, and cave-like passages, with light-filled tunnels and a calm enough profile for guided beginner-to-intermediate diving when conditions are right. It is more about moving carefully through the topography than chasing depth or current.

Local Intel For Kamiyama Labyrinth
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow maze-like reef terrain with swim-throughs, arches, and cave-like passages; a good introduction to topographic diving.
Freediving
The shallow reef can suit relaxed breath-hold sessions, but the swim-throughs and cave features make this more of a guided scuba site.
Snorkeling
In calm water, surface viewing can work near the shallow reef, but the site's main draw is the underwater maze rather than a pure snorkel run.
