About Shiratori
This is a beginner-friendly shore dive on the Irabu side of Miyako with a shallow reef entry, a deeper rock feature, whip corals, and a light-filled hole. It is a topography dive where the real interest comes from the rock shapes, cave light, and reef life rather than a flat slope. The cave sections are the part that demand the most attention.
