540代Month of posting: 2023/09It was an unforgettable experience for me. I was especially overwhelmed by the beauty and serenity of the "Phantom Island" when I landed there. The crescent-shaped island was a spectacular 360-degree view, and I was able to take many pictures that would look great on social media. The guide was very kind and helped us to enjoy the diving even if we were beginners. Swimming with sea turtles was especially impressive. I had heard that the encounter rate was more than 90%, but when I actually saw the sea turtles in front of me, I was captivated by their power and beauty. The free gift of the photo data taken during the tour was also a great service. I was filled with a sense of satisfaction after a full day at the sea. If you visit Ishigaki Island, I definitely recommend this tour!
