5.00100% recommended! I can’t imagine how this could have been any better. I found this experience to be all-inclusive (transport, gear, food, photos), easy to sign up, safe and comfortable, at a very reasonable price. I am American, visiting Okinawa for work for 1 week. It looked like it was going to rain all day, every day of my trip, but I got lucky! There was availability on the one day of sunshine, and I was able to have an amazing personalized experience on short notice. I did the 3 dive + lunch experience. These were dives #9-11 for me, and I recorded my deepest depth and longest duration dives - a testament to how calm and comfortable the experience was. I’ve only ever dove in Hawaii before, but I enjoyed the Okinawa wildlife, reefs, and coral more. On the surface, we had hot tea between dives, and there was a cooler full of warm fresh water to dump into your wet suit - a nice touch! Visibility was good, temperatures were comfortable (76F), and the wildlife was abundant. My guide was a California-raised, world-traveler Japanese man. He was VERY friendly, spoke perfect English, and made sure I was comfortable at all times. His quick thinking underwater saved my trip: I was going to end the first dive early due to some discomfort, but he was able to communicate and solve the problem without needing to surface, and the rest of the day went perfectly. He also knew where to find great wildlife and always pointed interesting things out to me (often times getting a picture too). He also took me through a beautiful rock formation that made for some great pictures. The gear was the highest quality rental equipment I’ve ever used. It all seemed brand new with no visible wear, and we went all day without any issues. The lunch was amazing. “Fisherman’s lunch” means it’s a large lunch. I had the sashimi, which came with many sides and additional items; I couldn’t quite finish it all. Based on this experience, next time I would do the BBQ Wagyu dinner that is optional afterwards. I expect it would be well worth it!
