Yonehara Reef - Ishigaki & Yaeyama

Yonehara Reef is a good, easy dive for beginners. The reef itself is shallow, topping out at 16 meters, and often has very little current. We usually see plenty of anemonefish, wrasse, and parrotfish picking through the corals. It’s a solid spot for a relaxed second dive or a check-out dive, especially if you’re new to the area.
