This dive site, Furuzamami Beach, is renowned as the premier snorkeling destination within the Kerama archipelago. Located on the western side of Zamami Island, its extensive coral reef offers an easily accessible and vibrant underwater experience. With a maximum depth of just 4 meters, it provides a safe and engaging environment for exploring the rich marine ecosystem directly from the beach, making it ideal for snorkelers and beginner divers.
The reef at Furuzamami Beach teems with marine life. Expect to encounter hundreds of vibrant green chromis darting amongst the branching coral, numerous anemonefish nestled in their host anemones, and striking clown triggerfish. The presence of sea kraits adds another intriguing element to the diverse fauna found here.
The best time to visit Furuzamami Beach is generally during the warmer months when water temperatures are pleasant and visibility is at its peak. This site is particularly recommended for those spending a day on Zamami Island, as it can be easily combined with a visit to Ama Beach, known for its sea turtles. For freedivers and snorkelers, the shallow depths and calm conditions offer ample opportunity to enjoy the underwater spectacle without extensive gear or experience.
