Jitsuru is a reef and wall site off Zamami Island, Japan, defined by its strong drift conditions. The wall drops to a depth of 20 metres, where sea fans provide structure. Divers should remain alert for strong currents and rip currents, as well as variable visibility. Hazards include jellyfish, sharks, stonefish, and sharp coral. Due to the drift nature of the site, divers spend more time hovering than kicking. Species recorded around this area include green sea turtles, clown triggerfish, and various wrasses. This site is suitable for intermediate divers, and boat access is required.

Confirm current direction and strength with your boat crew before descending, as rip currents and low visibility can combine to disorient even experienced intermediate divers quickly. Watch your buoyancy on the wall, as sharp coral and rocks mean a stray fin kick carries real consequences.
