NOVA DIVE ISHIGAKI

NOVA DIVE ISHIGAKI is a PADI Resort on Ishigaki Island, Japan, built around a simple idea: an atmosphere where it's easy to make requests, so the diving fits the diver. With two PADI Instructors on hand, the center caters to everyone from beginners to advanced students, and guiding is available in both English and Japanese.
