What you might see

  • Sea turtleReliably seen

Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Not typically a snorkel site itself due to current/depth/wall profile; snorkeling around Zamami is very popular but concentrated at gentler beach/reef spots like Furuzamami Beach and Ama Beach rather than Ugan

Safety notes

Strong/constant currents requiring drift-diving skill and buoyancy control; depth to 35m exceeds recreational no-deco limits at the lower end; boat traffic around Zamami port and dive/snorkel/whale-watching boat congestion in season
