Yonehara Reef
★★★★☆
(159)
Yonehara Reef is found at the point in Kawadaira, in the northern part of Ishigaki Island. This site is a boat entry only. The average depth is 5 to 30 meters. There is a coral shelf at 5 to 6 meters deep that drops into a sandy area in 20 to 25 meters of water with three roots, densely populated with table and eddy corals.
The reef is densely covered with branch and table corals, and the red-headed flounder, Debus damselfish. Butterflyfish swim around on the reef. Along the shelf, you can see a lot of damselfish.
