About this experience
The appeal of Sea Walker is that it is an easy underwater walk, no special skills are required, just put on a helmet and you can easily enjoy a walk on the seabed without getting your face wet.
Encountering diverse marine life, colorful coral reefs and interacting with cute tropical fish is like going to an underwater zoo.
The beautiful underwater scenery and the highly transparent waters of Ishigaki Island are as beautiful as an art museum.
Commemorative photos taken by staff underwater are a treasure for life.
