Yonaguni / Ishigaki

[bunty99]

I'm heading to Yonaguni for 6 days diving in February and will be going to Ishigaki after that. I have 1 spare day in Ishigaki that I'm thinking of whether I should dive in the area. I have spoken to the operators and they told me that the likelihood of visiting the famed manta point is only 1 out of every 10 days during winter.

My question is then, besides manta point, is there anything worthwhile seeing that I should dive in Ishigaki or just save my money and sightsee?

Okinawa has great dive sites. Yonaguni is on my wish list.

We also couldn't do manta point and look at the video from other dive sites we did... Hopefully that gives you an idea of whether to dive or not

I'm gonna go ahead and dive for that 1 day. I'll pray it will be a lucky day for me. There seems to be other pelagics, which is good enough for me.

Any difference between Umicoza or Prime Scuba in Ishigaki? I'm leaning towards Prime Scuba only because they don't return to shore till all 3 dives are done, which gives me more time in the evening.
