Hi!
I'm looking into flying to Okinawa and then trying to dive Ishigaki (for mantas, mostly) and Yonaguni (monument and hammers) in the next week or two. I'm trying to do it in a cost effective way, so I'm happy to move between islands by ferry, if doable. If possible, something like:
Naha to Ishigaki ferry
Ishigaki 1 or 2 days of diving
Ishigaki to Yonaguni ferry
Yonaguni 2 or 3 days of diving
Fly on from Yonaguni
Does anyone have any tips on travelling between the islands by ferry (the info I've seen isn't very clear) or recommended dive shops?
Or even someone to help arrange the whole thing, if such a trip exists?
Dived Mikomoto and had the tiny, heavy tank, 35-min dive experience, and would love some more bottom time if that's a norm in Japan!
It seems that Prime in Ishigaki is a good dive shop. Don't know yet if they do day trips to Yonaguni or if other shops in Ishigaki do?
Was looking at Yonaguni Diving Services but think they're booked up during that time. Maybe Sou Wes?
I suppose there might also be a shop in Okinawa that could help with the whole thing.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
