Fly into Miyako Airport (MMY) on Miyako Island or Miyako Shimojishima Airport (SHI) on Shimoji Island. Japan domestic connections, notably via Naha and major mainland cities, are the primary route; SHI also publishes selected international and low-cost services. Schedules are changeable. Miyako and Irabu bases are linked to both airports by road via Irabu Bridge. Bring gear on flights subject to airline baggage limits; plan post-dive no-fly intervals.
A rental car is the most versatile way to reach beach starts, Irabu and Shimoji viewpoints and meeting ports; taxis and limited buses are alternatives. Drive on the left.
