I had concerns about typhoons in Okinawa in September, but we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather. We gathered a little before the scheduled time, received a brief explanation, and set off. We were on the boat for about 30 minutes, and the waves splashed so much that we ended up completely soaked, like it was an attraction.

I had concerns about typhoons in Okinawa in September, but we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather. We gathered a little before the scheduled time, received a brief explanation, and set off. We were on the boat for about 30 minutes, and the waves splashed so much that we ended up completely soaked, like it was an attraction.

Once we arrived at the spot, we first practiced snorkeling, learning how to use the equipment and the best points to explore. After that, we went snorkeling before diving. I was advised that breathing would be easier after snorkeling, and that turned out to be correct. Thanks to that, I was able to dive with confidence.

The instructor was very kind and attentive. They took a lot of photos and videos, which helped preserve the memories. It was a shame we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but I’ll take it as a sign to participate again in the future. Thank you very much!
9月の沖縄は台風のイメージがあり心配していましたが、お天気に恵まれた晴れた日でした。
時間少し前に集合し簡単な説明を受け出発しました。
船で30分ほど揺られましたが波飛沫がものすごく掛かるのでアトラクションみたいにずぶ濡れになりました。笑
ポイントについてからはまずはシュノーケリングの練習で使い方とポイントを教わりそのあとシュノーケリングをしてからダイビングでした。
呼吸がシュノーケリングしてからの方がやりやすいとのアドバイスだったのですが、正解でした。

インストラクターの方はとても丁寧で優しく接してくださいました。
写真や動画も沢山撮っていただけたので思い出の記録にも残りました。
ウミガメに会えなかったのは残念でしたが、ご縁なのでまた参加しなさいというお告げと思っておきます。
ありがとうございました!!

たいぞー
It was my first time diving, but I was taught carefully, which made me feel safe and enjoy the experience. The response to my pre-visit inquiries was quick, and the service was kind. On the way back, I was able to see a sea turtle, which made for a wonderful memory.初めてのダイビングでしたが、丁寧に教えていただき安心して楽しめました。
事前連絡の返信も早く、対応も親切でした。帰りにはウミガメも見ることができ、とても良い思い出になりました。
