Manta Scramble - Ishigaki & Yaeyama

Manta Scramble lives up to its name, often drawing multiple reef manta rays to its cleaning stations. We usually drop onto a sandy patch around 10 meters, then settle in to watch the show. It’s mostly about the mantas here, so if you're keen on spending your dive observing these big rays, this site is a solid choice. Just be prepared for other boats; it’s a popular spot for a reason.
