Boat-only Kabira drop-off with thick gurukun schools.
Off Kabira on Ishigaki's west side, Sukuji Gurukun no Ne is a boat-only offshore drop-off with a stepped reef face and an open-water feel. The site is known for dense gurukun schools over the reef top, while deeper ledges can bring eagle rays, Napoleon fish, clownfish, and other reef life. It suits divers who are comfortable planning around current, depth, and shifting sea state.

Scuba Diving
Boat-based drop-off diving with a current-fed reef top and deeper ledges; best for intermediate divers comfortable with moving water.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site. The boat-based, current-fed drop-off and deeper features make it a better scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site. The main features sit on a deeper, current-influenced drop-off that is better viewed on scuba.
