No universal Iriomote-Ishigaki marine-park dive tag or blanket foreign-tourist island levy was established from verified official sources in this research. Do not invent one. Routine guided marine tour fees, optional equipment rentals and passenger-ferry fares are charged separately. Five specified Iriomote inland fields, including Pinaisara Falls, have a real advance approval procedure and administrative charge, distinct from scuba permits. Prices below are source-published research snapshots, not current booking quotes.
