Ishigaki is a small island in the Okinawa Prefecture, largely covered by thick subtropical vegetation. On land, the island is home to a wide variety of tropical birds, wild boar, lizards and countless species of insects. However, what draws most people to the tropical islands of Okinawa is what lies beneath the surrounding seas.

The waters around Ishigaki are crystal clear, creating ideal conditions for diving. The island is surrounded by a variety of renowned dive sites, including Manta Point, Yanbaru Reef and Yoshihara Arch. Exploring these tropical waters, you're likely to encounter manta rays, sea kraits, rays, sharks and an abundance of sea turtles. Beneath the surface lies a vibrant underwater world that is just as rich and diverse as the island itself.
