Highlights
★We also offer whale watching tours for a limited time from January 12th to March. *Please note that these tours may not be available depending on the weather and sea conditions. Enjoy a fun, affordable, and comfortable dive. We visit two to three carefully selected spots per day in the Kerama Islands, including Zamami Island, Tokashiki Island, Kuroshima Island, and Maejima Island, diving in various underwater locations in search of sea turtles. *Please note that we may not be able to spot any sea turtles. "I want to fully enjoy the Okinawan ocean with a Kerama Introductory Dive!" "I don't have a license, but I'd like to take a peek underwater..." "Can't swim?" "Afraid of water?" "Afraid of heights?" There are many reasons for diving. Most of our customers are first-time divers. Don't worry. Our instructors will gently, carefully, and leisurely teach you the charms of introductory diving in Okinawa (the Kerama Islands). That is our mission as instructors.

5Must do in Okinawa!!
A must do when traveling to Okinawa! The diving was amazing, instructors were helpful and very friendly, and the lunch on board the boat was very good.
2Good if you have extra time in your itinerary
You get what you pay for. If you want a true experience I recommend going the extra mile and spending more. Long story short was promised two dives. Gave me one and told me they would take me on two free dives and third one was an additional fee which is fine. When I asked to go a second time a younger gentle man told me he would take me on the next one… but then told me I would have to pay. It’s not so much the money, it’s the principle. The disrespect is something I will not stand for and will not give additional money to an individual who isn’t being sincere. Other than that one individual it was okay. Good if you need something to kill extra time. Not something you should plan your whole trip around… you will be upset.
5Fun view of the sea!
Great experience! Snorkeling was super fun and got to see a sea turtle. Definitely recommend this tour.
4Great First Time Experience (4.5/5)
Absolutely loved this experience! I would give this a 4.5/5! Food is available for purchase on board, but you’re also welcome to bring your own lunch. We made multiple stops throughout the day to snorkel and dive, which made the trip feel well worth it. One piece of advice: if you get motion sickness, take medicine beforehand. I kid you not… that boat ride was bumpy! This was also my very first time scuba diving, and I honestly had a great experience. Although the English wasn’t perfect, the instructors explained everything clearly enough that I didn’t feel completely lost. They teach you everything you need to know beforehand, and they stay with you underwater the entire time to make sure you’re safe. During the dive, I got to see so many beautiful fish and even a sea turtle! The snorkeling had a little less marine life, but it was still a lot of fun. In total, we did one scuba dive and two snorkeling sessions. Now, the reason I am giving this a 4.5/5 is because I also rented one of their GoPros. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I spent part of my dive trying to get it to turn on, and once it finally did, the battery died pretty quickly. They do warn you that this can happen, so thankfully I had brought my own waterproof camera as a backup and ended up liking those photos much better. That said, the staff also take photos and videos throughout the excursion, and their camera quality was fantastic. We received so many great photos and videos afterward that, honestly, you probably don’t even need to rent their camera if you have your own. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this experience and would happily do it again. I’d just skip the GoPro rental next time.
3About 3 diving sessions...
About 3 diving sessions each being estimated 40mins within 7 h trip. Boat was having guite much people but that organized after all well in diving locations. Organized lunch was poor would recommend to take in own food. Not much difference between the diving locations.
5Great experience
The marine life in Okinawa is great. The company helps to enjoy it. All is well organized and we felt very safe
