Ishigakijima/Half-day Morning Tour】Beginners welcome☆Experience Diving Tour & Landing on "Phantom Island"☆Including photo data, equipment, and pick-up & drop-off service開始時間8:20-12:30所要時間Approx. 4 hours10,800 yen →9,800yenPhantom Island (Hamashima)
The area around "Phantom Island (official name: Hamashima)" is shallow, so even if the island sinks at high tide, it is still shallow enough for safe sightseeing.
After taking your time to enjoy the island, enjoy a hands-on diving experience around this coral reef!
The sea is so clear that you can see the ground even from the sea, and you can dive so enthusiastically that you will never get tired of swimming all the time.
Experience Diving (2 dives)
Experience diving is also available for first-time divers who do not need a license. Swim with hundreds of species of coral and tropical fish while feeling weightless and floating in the water!
Since there is no need to hold your breath like snorkeling, you don't actually have to be able to swim to experience diving.
Sea turtle snorkeling
After lunch, we will snorkel at sea turtle point, where the encounter rate is 90%. There are many other colorful fish. If you are lucky, manta rays will also make an appearance!
Why don't you enjoy the sea of Ishigaki Island for a day with landing on a fantastic island, experience diving, and sea turtle snorkeling?

550代Month of posting: 2022/08I hadn't been diving in a long time, so I decided to try diving with my family for the first time. The staff was friendly, cheerful, and fun. The staff brought a whiteboard to the dive so we could communicate in a slightly complicated way, and the beginners felt safe as they made sure we didn't have any trouble removing our ears. We were able to see Nemo and sea turtles, which was a great memory. We were able to drink all the cold tea we wanted on the boat, and they took pictures of us at each point in the water and gave us the data at the end of the dive! I would like to join this tour again!

520代Posted Mon: 09/2019It was my first trip to Ishigaki Island and my first time diving. At first I was anxious, but the humorous staff kindly and carefully guided me to the recommended photo spots and fish, and I enjoyed it. I was able to take pictures with sea turtles, which was a great memory for me. We dived in the shallow water in the morning and landed on the island of the phantom. And in the afternoon, we dived in a little deeper place. Both of them are the best memories for me because I could see the beautiful scenery.

530代Posted Mon: 08/2018This time was the first time for me to visit Ishigaki Island! So it was my first time in the ocean of a remote island. I was intoxicated by the color of the emerald green sea, which is incomparable to the main island of Okinawa. LOL! I was also taken to the island of illusion that was featured on Ishigaki Island on TV before. After diving, I was lying on the beach soaking up the sun, but the sun was too strong and I quickly retreated (lol). I was very happy to see a clownfish and a snapping turtle.

540代Posted Mon: 08/2018All four members of my family participated in the diving experience! We were very happy to be able to take pictures together as a family at the bottom of the ocean. It was the first diving experience for my children, and they were very satisfied with the enthusiastic instruction. My children are very motivated to get their licenses next time, so we will definitely ask them to do so.
