Yonaguni

[Taipeidiver]

I am really, really keen to dive at Yonaguni.

If anybody has advice on the best way to do this, can recommend a tour operator or, even better, is planning on running a trip, and doesn't mind a paying stowaway, then I would be very grateful for any advice.

Thanks,

Taipeidiver

We have tours running there on a regular basis, when are you looking at going? How is your Japanese?

Thanks for the response.

In spite of the fact that I work for mainly Japanese clients, my Japanese is extremely basic.

I can go pretty much anytime, but would prefer to go during either of the manta or hammerhead seasons which I have been hearing about. I live in Taipei, so getting to Japan is not much of a problem, there are even direct flights to Okinawa from here.

Thanks,

Hammerhead season is Jan-Feb timeframe and we have a number of trips in the planning stages right now. The majority of them will have English-speaking guides on them also. We should have final dates and thing soon.

hi taipeidiver,

i have been in yonaguni twice, once in january and once in september. charm of the island includes hammerheads, underwater ruins, and beautiful wavy sandy bottom. you can enjoy the former two in winter season, whereas the latter one in summer. graham hancock, who wrote "fingerprints of the gods", and the late jacques mayol were fascinated by the ruins. you may decide what to see first and then make up your mind when to go.

if you live in taipei, i strongly recommend a boat trip to yonaguni 'cause it's quite close and you do not need to worry about DCI.
