Naha: Full-Day Introductory diving & Snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, Okinawa

Snorkeling In Kerama

Such a cool and unique experience. Our diving teacher was Oikawa. He was very patient, kind and accommodating since we had never gone on something like this before. We were picked up from the meeting point on time and the transported to the Kerama Islands in a breeze. After finishing up with the snorkeling and diving which were a blast, we were then taken back to our hotel.

Fully worth the money. I...

Fully worth the money. I have only one remark about the lack of warm-up before swimming; personally, I didn't expect it to be so strenuous, which resulted in strong arm pains for the rest of the day after the trip.

Irresponsible

There were severe thunderstorms on the day of my reservation to the point that I received an emergency landslide warning from the environment ministry on my phone. Marine Berry did not consider this enough of a reason to cancel the excursion and refused to refund me. They also wouldn't allow me to dive due to my antidepressant prescription which was not a problem in two other countries, and wouldn't reduce the cost of my trip to a snorkeling trip. Not wanting to lose my payment, I decided if the boat captain was comfortable going out in this weather we would go. The waves were so terrible half the partcipants got deeply seasick and puked the whole time. This caused the crew to decide to stay at our second location rather than proceeding to a third location, and cut the trip short. No one received any compensation for this. Despite the booking process being in English and the tour saying they had english speaking guides, only one guide spoke english and he provided very little guidance. My husband was allowed to dive but they held his hands the whole 5 minutes that he was down there (we were promised 30) doing a photoshoot. They gave him no instructions so when he got underwater his ears were in a lot of pain. There was thunder and lightning the entire time we were in the boat and in the water. The crew discarded several locations because the waters were too rough to stop the boat. Where we did snorkel the visibility was poor because of the storm. I gave this two stars instead of one because the Kerama Island corals are a treasure and if you have the opportunity to see them another way you should.

Great time

Great staff, beautiful locations, diving was super fun and snorkeling was too. Bringing seasick medicine though because the ride can be very bumpy. The food was not bad and the water was clear and beautiful. They took a lot of great photos too that we got for free. We had a great time.

Full-Day Introductory diving & snorkeling in the Kerama Islands, Okinawa YES PLEASE!!

What an amazing time. My family and I went on this trip, and it was unbelievable. The crew were great, very patient and took care of all of us very well. All of my family dove including my WIFE, I was shocked. I never thought she'd dive but she did, and she had a great time, and I couldn't have been prouder of her and my kids 22, 19, 18 yr olds who also had never dove. The snorkeling was awesome as well we were snorkeling with sea turtles! My wife loves snorkeling. I'm already dive certified, so this was a good get back into the game dive for me and now has reignited my passion for diving. Kerama Islands are just amazing and beautiful. If you've never dove or never have been to the Kerama Islands this is a must do! I've dove there before back in 2001-2002 when we were stationed at Kadena AB.

Best trip ever

It’s hard to pick just one part to be my favourite. Everything was great. The location was amazing, the staff were lovely and helpful, lunch was delicious, the driving was incredible and I’ll never forget it. Honestly the best thing I’ve done in life and I would recommend it to anyone I talk to!

Best dive trip ever!

This was the best dive trip ever. My son had never scuba dived before but the staff were so kind and courteous and walked us through each step of the process. On the dive they gave us individual attention with a personalized guide for every two people. The water was so clear and blue that you could really see forever. If you are brand new or an experienced diver I would highly recommend this trip you will love it.

our tour guides were very nice and made the experience unforgettable. at the end you get an email with the pictures that were taken on that day.

A Must-Give Scuba A Try!

We had a great time. They were helpful and the 3 spots were amazing. Beginners scuba was great for my husband and son which enjoyed a 2nd dive, but I struggled with communication to understand what was needed. I should have tried a second time. Still an amazing experience. If you want the great pictures they take, which is a great bonus, stick by your guide because we are seasoned snorkelers and we didn't really get pics.

Instructor and crew were very patient and nice (even if English was a challenge) dive sites were beautiful and the bento was good too!

Super Schorchelerlebnis mit Tauchgang!

Cooles Erlebnis! Die Abholung am Hotel war pünktlich. Danach ging es zum Laden, zum Boot und raus auf das Meer! Es wurde sich gut um mich gekümmert, beim Tauchen hatte ich einen eigenen Guide (andere waren teilweise zu zweit pro Guide), alles ging im richtigen Tempo und die Guides waren sehr nett. Das Riff war schön und das Bento zum Mittag war super. Es wurden Bilder von den Guides gemacht, was eine so tolle Erinnerung ist (Kostenloser Download - klasse!) !! Es wurden allerdings mehr Bilder gemacht als man später downloaden konnte, das ist schade. Danke für dieses Erlebnis!
