Winter-only course "Surface Manta" Winter-only (November to March) Surface Manta Snorkeling Course! Only one-day courses are available, no half-day courses. We mainly visit points around remote islands, and in the Kuroshima and Panari Island areas in winter, manta rays often come up to the very surface to eat plankton that has accumulated near the surface. This is your chance to see the impressive manta predation scene up close! The instructor will give you a thorough lecture on how to approach the manta rays so as not to stress them, so you can participate with peace of mind. Depending on the sea conditions and wind direction of the day, we will also guide you in snorkeling in the Ishigaki Island area. Enjoy a special winter-only experience! Free photos and videos of you not being able to dive are given as a gift! *During winter, the sea is often rough, so there are days when it is difficult to guide you to the planned point. In that case, we may hold a tour at a different point. *Manta rays are natural creatures, so there are days when you can meet them and days when you cannot. *When you encounter a manta ray, you will watch it by snorkeling. In order to reduce stress as much as possible at manta rays, we prohibit free diving or chasing them by snorkeling at points where they are present.
We will guide you around the Ishigaki sea according to your level, from beginners and those who can't swim to those with experience! If you want to play without waste on Ishigaki Island, please join us!
