Manta Ray Scrumble
This dive site, located on the northwest side of Ishigaki Island, has one of the highest rates of encounters with manta rays in the world. It can be reached by boat in 10 to 15 minutes. The water depth is around 10-20m and the tide is relatively calm but can become stronger at times. A small hill in the middle of the sea is a cleaning station where the manta rays come to visit. Manta rays swim around at a depth of 5 to 10 meters, so you can see them by snorkeling.
