Why dive here
With 428+ marine species recorded in the area - including bull sharks, manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), seahorses and sea turtles - Kurima Beach offers some of Ishigaki & Yaeyama's richest diving. Water ranges 23-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Kurima Beach is a shallow, gentle shore dive, perfect for beginners or a relaxed second dive. You’ll find a sandy bottom dotted with small coral bommies, home to gobies, shrimp, and juvenile reef fish. It’s an easy entry and exit, making it great for snorkelers too. We’d suggest it for refreshing skills or introducing new divers to the local marine life without any strong currents.
