It's only a 30-second walk from the store to the boat you'll be using, and there's no need to provide information on the rental size of participants, which significantly reduces the burden on organizers.

The boat boarding point is just a 30-second walk from the store, and the Euglena Ishigaki Port Remote Island Terminal is just a 5-minute walk away, so you can park your car in the free parking lot and head out to the remote islands. There's also a wide selection of clean rental equipment, and since you can adjust the size when you meet up, there's no need to gather information on rental sizes for participants.

We visit two or three locations, and sometimes up to four. We promise a thorough guided tour for all courses in small groups! We are the safest diving service in the world.

You can observe a rich and varied underwater world. This course is recommended for those who want to snorkel at many different spots, visit remote islands, dive surrounded by tropical fish and coral reefs, enjoy a boat cruise, or see the popular Sekisei Lagoon, turtles, and manta rays, the symbol of Ishigaki Island. If one dive isn't enough, additional dives are also available. The introductory diving course is limited to one instructor and two guests. For groups of three or four, two instructors will be available, or you can enjoy two separate guided introductory dives. The snorkeling course is limited to one instructor and four guests. Enjoy guided snorkeling with a buddy for safety management. We have been operating for 25 years, with safety as our number one priority, and have never had a single accident or injury.

There are also female instructors, so women traveling alone can feel at ease.

There is a female instructor on-site.
