Shiratori - Ishigaki & Yaeyama

Shiratori, off Ishigaki, is a solid intermediate dive. The site's main draw is its collection of swim-throughs and small caves, which you can navigate through at around 15 metres. We often spot schooling fusiliers darting through the openings, and sometimes a white-tip reef shark resting in the sand channels below. It's a good spot for divers looking for a bit of overhead environment without extreme depth.
