UMI-NO-KYOSHITSU

Ishigaki & Yaeyama, Japan

UMI-NO-KYOSHITSU is a solid choice if you're looking to develop your diving in Ishigaki. As a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort, they're set up for everything from your Open Water certification right through to instructor development. We've found their local knowledge particularly strong for the drift dives around Manta Scramble and the often-overlooked coral bommies further south. They cater well to divers keen on multi-day course packages, and their instructors have a good knack for spotting the smaller stuff, nudibranchs in particular, if that’s your jam.
