We had an amazing 3 days diving with Prime Scuba Ishigaki. Highlight was of course seeing the beautiful Manta on our last dive! There were also loads of beautiful fish, a shark, and lots of hard and some soft corals. Communication before we arrived was brilliant, really fast responses, and great with safety forms etc. Free pick up and drop off to our hotel in Ishigaki, and tasty lunch included on the boat. Huge shout-out to our dive guide Mike who was really accommodating to our wishes and found us loads of turtles! We felt really safe diving with him. Really recommend for 1 day or multi-day trips, friendly crew and great dive boat to chill on in the shade. We hope to come back!

Great experience with Prime Scuba Ishigaki. We went diving with two friends who had just passed their Open Water certification, and the team took great care of them from start to finish. Our divemaster, Mike, was probably one of the best DMs we’ve ever had 😊 calm, professional, helpful, and really made everyone feel comfortable. We had a great time, saw mantas and plenty of other cool marine life. The whole staff were friendly, the equipment was in great condition, and overall it was a super fun and well-organised dive experience. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful and unforgettable experience! 🥰 Seeing Nemo was absolutely adorable, and the whole place was full of incredible colors and life. The coral reefs were amazing, with so many beautiful fish and vibrant colors everywhere you looked. I also saw many snakes, but they stayed at a safe distance and never came close to us, so there was nothing to be afraid of. It was truly fascinating to see so much marine life in such a beautiful environment. I loved every moment and would absolutely recommend this experience! 🌊

I had a really good time diving with Prime Scuba Ishigaki, they took me in the morning at my hotel and brought me back after the dives. The equipment is good quality and training is very good. The dive sites we went to were memorable and you have the opportunity to rent a camera if you ask in advance to take home your own memories. I strongly recommend this diving center

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience with Prime Scuba Ishigaki on 10 May! From the very beginning, all the staff were highly professional. Yu‑Thienh, who handled the email communication, responded quickly to every question I had, which made the whole booking process smooth and reassuring. The driver who guided me from the meeting point to the parking area was very friendly and welcoming. My instructor, Michael, was kind, professional, and extremely patient throughout the dive. Jeremy, who conducted the pre-dive briefing, was both humorous and engaging. He also showed us photos of the marine life beforehand, making it much easier to recognise everything once we were underwater — a really thoughtful touch. During the dive, I was incredibly lucky to see two manta rays, cuttlefish, five turtles, upside-down jellyfish, and more. It was truly unforgettable! I do wish I had rented a GoPro to capture the experience! The experience on the boat was just as enjoyable. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We were also served a nice lunch with noodles, fruit, and onigiri. The water was about 23°C, and they had prepared a 5mm wetsuit and a hood for me, which was very thoughtful. Thank you to the entire team — although I didn’t catch everyone’s names, every member was genuinely friendly and helpful. They truly lived up to the “Prime” standard in every way!
