Hi 8c9,
I haven't had the chance to dive in Ishigaki much but generally the famous point there is Manta Scramble, a manta ray cleaning station. I went to a couple of spots around Kuro Island which didn't have so many fish but there is a really nice, flat white sandy bottom which was a nice change for me since so far I've mainly done wall dives.
On a side note, does anybody feel like the water around Ishigaki is 'bluer' than other places? I feel like the color underwater is more intense blue than other places, to the point of reducing viz... is this just me?

Benkun,
Thanks for your note.
Does it easy to meet Manta through all the year at Manta Scramble?
I read a Okinawa diving report recently, most of the diver are voted for diving at Ishigaki Island.
However, time is limited and money is also limited so I need make a decision for "Where to diving" around Okinawa and Ishigaki Island. ;-)
