石垣島トータルマリンDiveIshigaki-jima
Ishigaki Total Marine is an Ishigaki city dive shop run by an Ishigaki-born fisherman, with two boat dives from ¥17,600 in 2026 including hotel pickup and lunch, and a September 2026 blog post reporting mantas three days running.

The shop dives from its own 15-seat boat, Paikaji V, with a table on deck for the lunch that comes with every boat day. Pickup from your hotel is part of the price, which matters for riders without a car. The owners take bookings from one person up.
Total Marine's fun-dive page doesn't publish a manta schedule. Its blog reported mantas three days running in late September 2026, so ask about recent sightings when you book if mantas are the point of the trip.
