If I have 6 days in Okinawa, should I split my time between two islands or stay on one?

I’ll be in Okinawa for about 6/7 days, coming from Kyoto, and based on what I’ve seen and read, I’d love to see Yoron, and either Miyakojima OR Zamami. Activities I’d like to do: snorkel and see sea life/coral, scuba, swim, lay by the beach, relax, see crystal clear water, and not be surrounded by hoards of people.

But obviously there’s logistics – how would I get from one place to another, and would seeing yoron+zamami be easier since zamami is a short boat ride from Naha? Vs yoron + Miyakojima. Or should I consider staying on one island for the entire 6 days.. though I wonder if I’ll get bored.

I also won’t be renting a car as I don’t drive and am traveling solo. Which since Yoron seems small enough that getting around by bike would be fine, gives it a plus. Also it just seems beautiful in the photos.

Anyone have any insights? Any thoughts on how to best see the places I want to see with the activists I love, but also just make my life easier?
