About This Dive Spot
Ishikiri is primarily known for macro diving, especially during the winter months when a variety of macro species can be observed. The site requires a shore entry, but the access point can be challenging due to poor footing, making it difficult to enter when there are waves. There are no parking facilities or amenities, which can make it tough for less experienced divers. Notable marine life includes the rare Nakamoto's pygmy goby, frogfish, cuttlefish, and various nudibranchs. The water temperature typically drops below 25 degrees Celsius from November to March, which correlates with an increase in macro species sightings.
