About this site
Gishippu Island is a tiny island just north of Tokashiki in the Kerama Islands, and at low tide the two are joined by a long sandy dune. The dives are made by boat on the northwest side of the island, in the wide bay between Gishippu and Tokashiki, and reach about 15 metres.
Turtles are the main attraction here and can be spotted on almost every dive. Divers often watch one grazing on the coral while another swims casually past just behind them. Sunlight reflecting off the patches of white sand and the healthy coral mounds in between adds to the scenery.
