Frequently asked questions about Okinawa diving (scuba diving) experience

Q What is scuba diving?

A There are three types of diving: ``freediving (skin diving),'' which does not use a breathing device underwater, ``helmet diving,'' ``hooker diving,'' which pumps air into the diving device from the ground, and ``hooker diving,'' in which the diver carries air for breathing. There is scuba diving. Generally speaking, ``diving'' refers to ``scuba diving,'' where you dive with an air cylinder on your back.

Q Features of diving you can experience in Okinawa

A Okinawa's sea, shining emerald green under the tropical sunlight, is known as a spectacular diving spot that is famous not only in Japan but also around the world. There are many spots where beginner divers can enjoy with peace of mind, and under the sea boasting overwhelming transparency, you can see beautiful corals, colorful sea slugs, tropical fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and even sharks.

Q Can even beginners try diving?

A To dive, you originally need a license (commonly known as a C card) issued by each licensing organization. However, if you are doing ``experience diving'' where you swim in shallow water in a narrow area with an instructor, you do not need a license. If you're at a shop that offers ``kids diving,'' where children around the age of 10 can participate, the whole family can take a walk under the sea.

Q When is the best season for diving in Okinawa?

A July to August is Okinawa's peak tourist season. This season is recommended for beginners as the water temperature is high, but there are also drawbacks such as the frequent typhoons. Okinawa's warm climate allows diving all year round regardless of the season. Although the water temperature drops, the water clarity increases in winter compared to summer. It would be interesting to dare to try "winter diving".
