It's a paradise. What is the charm of Ishigaki Island, which is peaceful and relaxing?
One of the Yaeyama Islands belonging to Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture. Ishigaki Island is a beautiful and fascinating paradise surrounded by blue sea, white sand beaches and colorful coral reefs. You can feel the slow flow of time that you cannot taste in the city, and you can learn about many traditions and climates that still remain strong. A place where there is no end to travelers who come to play for various reasons and purposes such as dating with a couple, sightseeing with friends, family trips, and even searching for oneself.
Many marine life inhabits the sea of Ishigaki Island, and there are many famous spots as snorkel points. You can never ignore it without seeing such a beautiful sea in front of you. This time, we will introduce a diving experience where you can relax and enjoy making memories on Ishigaki Island.
If you come to Ishigaki Island, let's dive underwater!

If you want to thoroughly enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island, please choose this course. Beautiful corals and fish are waiting for you! Plenty of 2 times course will give you a different impression of the underwater world between the 1st and 2nd times ♪ I think that the 2nd time will give you a sense of comfort and you can enjoy diving happily (* ^^ *)
If you go to Ishigaki Island from the land you are used to living in, it is definitely fun to fully enjoy the art created by beautiful nature. Ishigaki Island has many attractions such as scenery, gourmet food, and tradition, but the sea is still worth noting. If you look at that blueness up close, you can't help but jump in.
However, even if you want to dive deep into the water, you may think that you are reluctant to swim or that you do not know the rules of snorkeling without a diving license. If you are not confident in swimming or have no diving experience, diving deep into the sea can be anxious and dangerous. but it's okay. This time, I would like to introduce to you a plan that allows you to experience diving on Ishigaki Island.
The diving shop "Fun Sea Ishigakijima" in Kabira, Ishigaki City offers a diving experience course for beginners. If you are healthy, even customers who are worried about not being able to swim are OK. The instructor of the shop will support you so that you can enjoy the sea safely, and diving equipment is also rented, so you can feel free to participate if you make the minimum necessary preparations such as towels and swimwear at first. Guides, tanks, weights, equipment, lunch, drinks and insurance are all included in the price, so don't worry if you're not a diver. Furthermore, if you are 10 years old or older, children can participate together, so you can take a walk in the water with your family. In addition, it accepts up to 10 people, so you can enjoy club activities and group trips.
The tour will be divided into teams according to the purpose, style, diving skill level, etc. of the guest. I'm glad that they will guide you according to your needs and wishes, such as "beginner", "there is a blank", "mainly shooting with a camera", and "want to observe".
Flow of encountering world-famous wild manta
The regular plan has one-day and half-day courses. There are two patterns, morning and afternoon, even for half a day, so you can freely choose between the shining sea in the daytime and the mysterious sea at night. This time we are planning to see wild manta rays, so let's introduce the flow from the morning.
There is also a free service where the staff will pick you up at the designated hotel, but you can also meet directly at the store. Before entering the sea, he will give a lecture on how to breathe, how to remove ears, and how to deal with minor troubles. Even people who cannot swim can practice at this timing. After that, I boarded a boat and headed for the point, but some people may be worried about seasickness. However, the travel time to reach the point is close to 10 minutes, so you don't have to worry about seasickness.
The destination is "Ishizaki Manta Ray Scramble", an area with a high probability of encountering manta rays. At a low difficulty point with a water depth of 10 to 16 m, you can see manta rays swimming in the beautiful sea up close. It is a wonderful experience and will be an unforgettable memory to feel the majesty of nature while having fun even for beginners. If you rent a 3-piece set of masks, snorkels, and fins, you can see manta rays and coral reefs closer.
It's good to play on the beach or explore Ishigaki Island slowly because there is plenty of time until sunset. It is also good to twilight romantically while looking at the beach at dusk. Let's spend a relaxing time unique to Ishigaki Island and enjoy the best paradise life!
As mentioned above, even beginners can enjoy diving and see beautiful coral reefs and wild manta rays. In addition, "Ishigaki Island Coral Week" is held every March, and it is very popular even in winter when reservations are required. One of the best ways to enjoy it is to have a rare experience of seeing coral reefs in winter.
Why don't you relax and gracefully dive into the sea on Ishigaki Island and make the best memories?
