5.00I was allowed to participate as a family. The weather was unfortunately rainy, but the children were overjoyed to see a variety of fish in the sea as it was clear regardless. It was so wonderful that even my daughter, who didn't like the sea very much, loved it. Thank you very much.

5.00The weather was bad and I received a notice the day before to change the course. I was worried because the weather had improved a lot on the day, but the underwater was more beautiful than I expected and I was lucky enough to see the sea turtles up close! At first, I was struggling to get the hang of it, but thanks to the kind and patient guidance of my guide Misaki, I was able to get the hang of it and enjoy the ocean in the second half! They also told me about a lot of delicious shops on Ishigaki Island, which made the trip even more enjoyable♪ They also took a lot of wonderful photos and made a lot of memories. I also want to try snorkeling. Thank you very much.
