About Kohamajima Island
Kohamajima Island is a boat-diving base in the Yaeyama Islands, east of Iriomote and a short ferry ride from Ishigaki, with resort access, clear coral reefs, and multiple dive points around the island. The area ranges from calm beginner-friendly coral sites to the Yonara Waterway, where manta rays can gather and channel dives can run faster, so it suits divers who want variety rather than a single hard-edged profile.
