    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    IOT in Ishigaki is a solid choice for newer divers. The site drops to 18 metres, making it comfortable for those still building their confidence. We often see a good variety of reef fish here, along with some friendly anemonefish. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting back into things or simply enjoying a calm afternoon underwater.
