Welcome to the World of
Miyako Blue!
Introductory Scuba Diving Perfect for Beginners
Are you just looking at Miyakojima’s beautiful ocean from afar?
Underneath the surface, an entirely different “blue world” awaits you.
Embark on a unique Miyakojima sightseeing adventure with an introductory dive!
Feeling a bit anxious about the ocean?
It’s completely normal to feel that way! That’s why we highly recommend
Beach Entry Diving.
Instead of jumping straight from a boat, you simply walk into the water from the shallow beach at your own pace.
With almost no worries about seasickness or ocean currents, you can fully relax and enjoy the experience.
⚠️ Important Notice
If any of the conditions on the checklist apply to you,
a Medical Certificate from a Doctor is required.
🏖️ Beach Diving
This style allows you to walk straight into the ocean from the beach without taking a boat.
You can fully enjoy the tropical fish and beautiful coral reefs that Miyakojima has to offer.
We are flexible and can even arrange plans right after your airport arrival. Please feel free to consult us about anything you might be worried about!
Pricing Plans (Beach)
You’ll enjoy it with much more ease.
💡 We strongly recommend going for “2 dives”!
During your very first dive, most people focus heavily on “breathing techniques” and “equalizing ears”, leaving little room to actually enjoy the scenery.
We don’t want you to leave thinking, “Wow, I was so nervous!” We want you to go home feeling inspired and thinking, “The ocean is amazing!”
That’s exactly why we made the 2nd dive available at such a great discounted price.
On the second dive, you’ll be much more relaxed and have the mental space to casually observe the tropical fish and coral. That’s when the real underwater stroll begins!
🚢 Boat Diving
Take a boat offshore and dive into a 360° spectacular underwater world.
Experience the renowned clarity of “Miyako Blue” and encounter a wide variety of sea life, from tiny creatures to larger fish.
*For safety reasons, introductory divers cannot enter underwater caves or go deeper than 12 meters.
Pricing Plans (Boat)
For those who want maximum ocean time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q I’m not a good swimmer. Is that okay?
We start practicing in shallow water where your feet can touch the ground, and your instructor will support and guide you through the water. You don’t even need to hold your breath to swim; it’s more like “floating while breathing normally.”
Q Can I participate by myself?
You’ll dive either one-on-one with an instructor or in a very small group, so you won’t feel left out. Please join us without hesitation!
Q I have poor eyesight. What about contact lenses or glasses?
If you wear glasses, we have prescription masks (goggles) available. Just let us know when you make your reservation.
Q Can we still dive if it rains?
However, if winds are strong, waves are high, or a typhoon is approaching, we may have to cancel. In such cases, there will be no cancellation fee.
Q Is there an age limit?
Minors require parental consent. Guests aged 60 and over, or those with underlying health conditions, may require a doctor’s certificate. Please consult us in advance.
Q What payment methods do you accept?
Payment is made locally on the day of the dive.
Q Can I board an airplane on the same day after diving?
To avoid the risk of decompression sickness, it is strictly prohibited to fly on the same day after scuba diving.
Flying the next day is perfectly fine, so please keep this in mind when planning your itinerary.
Q Are there showers and parking available?
You can freshen up right after your dive before heading to your next sightseeing spot.
Q Can I participate if I am menstruating?
Ocean conditions and physical changes can be taxing. Please do not push yourself, and feel free to consult us about rescheduling.
Hooked on Diving?
If you found yourself thinking, “I want to swim more freely!” or “I want to dive again!”,
we highly recommend getting your diving license.
