Today, we had a group of 6, trying our PADI Discover Scuba Diving program, and some certified divers.
Starting off the day at the Kuroshima South, we saw some turtles and sharks just immediately, not expected.
It was a big shark – not like the white tip reef sharks napping under rocks, that big one was swimming around under our boat.
The turtle we saw was a tiny shy one, it swam away very quickly.
We moved to Zamami and Tokashi, to enjoy beautiful reef dives at Ariga and macro dives at Toma.
It was all good dives in the sun.

Whales and good dives in the Keramas! (Okinawa)

Today, we saw three huge whales swimming with our boat for a bit.
The type of whales we commonly see here in Okinawa, is ‘Humpback Whales’. You can see their bent back on the picture!
I think that the three we saw today were two males fighting to get one female. They were huge – even from far away, we could here their blowing.
Anyway, after enjoying whale watching, we headed to our favorite dive sites in the Kerama Islands.

At Toma, Miho’s group found many types of cleaner shrimps, as well as our favorite garden eels, pink leaf fish, and many gobies.

Nozaki had some mild currents, which showed all the chromis and purple queens (there are thousands of them, literallly) very beautifully.

As a PADI 5 Star Dive Center, we can provide a variety of certification courses. Underwater Scooter is one of the popular ones. We will be starting our Enriched Air Course (for Nitrox diving) soon!

We saw two humpback whales on the way to the Keramas! They were a little shy – they went back down in the water and didn’t let us take a picture…

Kerama Diving! – turtles, sharks, and whales

Merry Christmas, everybody!

It was a beautiful day for diving in the Kerama Islands.
On the way to the Keramas, we saw humpback whales for the first time for this winter.

We had a family trying snorkeling and discover scuba diving for the first time. At first, they were planning to just snorkel around, then, they got fascinated too much by the good visibility of the water in the Keramas. They decided to try diving into it!
Also, we had a 14 years old diver. He earned 50 dives already at his age- next time, maybe trying more specialty courses.
We saw turtles, sharks, and whales – goooood day of diving!!

12/12/2009 We heard whales singing!

Today was another good day of diving in the Kerama Islands.
We had two dives in the Keramas, visiting two islands – Kuroshima and Zamami.
Our guest from Poland (living in Japan for 13 years!) said he was not cold at all with his long-john type wetsuit!

It’s still December, but we started hearing humpback whales singing! It will not be too far when we start seeing them – they are surely around here!
