Different Ways to Experience the Blue Cave – 01. Scuba Diving

Even you can't swim, you can still experience the underwater world!

For the scuba diving course, a certified professional coach will accompany you all the way, so even if you can't swim or you are not good at swimming, you can still experience scuba diving safely. Moreover, the professional coaches are all very nice indeed. They try to use fishing bait to attract the fish to get near us.

We highly recommend all the beginners to take this course first.

In the sunset, the red sky is reflected on the surface of the Okinawa ocean. What an amazing view it is! By the way, the Night Healing Snorkeling is held in shallow part of the sea, so you can just relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature.

Putting on the special life jacket, you can just face above and float on the water and enjoy the red sky and the stars.

Don't worry about the darkness in the sea because coaches will bring a light to light up for you! You can also see the sea fireflies if you are lucky!

Next time when you visit Okinawa, other than visiting the sightseeing spots like Shurijo Castle Park and Churaumi Aquarium, we highly recommend you to get into the sea and explore the beautiful Okinawa ocean by yourself.  With the excellent service provided by Marine Support TIDE ZANPA, you can ward off all your worries and enjoy the underwater world.
