■ Barasu Island
Barasu Island, an uninhabited gem between Iriomote and Hatoma Islands, is a 10-minute boat ride from Iriomote. Formed by coral shell accumulation, it features crystal-clear waters, stunning coral reefs, and abundant fish.
The guide will explain how to use the equipment, tips, and diving techniques, so please rest assured.
First, we will provide explanations and practice in the shallow waters, so please feel at ease. Barasu Island, formed by coral uplift, is only a few meters wide. However, its waters are a vast blue expanse teeming with tropical fish.
As time permits, you can also enjoy snorkeling. Once you dive in, you'll be hooked on the beauty of Barasu Island.
