Why dive here
With 428+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), seahorses and sea turtles - IOT offers some of Ishigaki & Yaeyama's richest diving.
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.
