A guided snorkel tour that you can enjoy with peace of mind by entering from the beach. First-timers are welcome, and anyone aged 5 to 60 can participate. Even in winter, when you are worried about the cold, you can enjoy the winter sea, which has more beautiful days than summer, in a waterproof suit that won't get wet, a "dry suit"! ・In mid-June to early October, when the water temperature is high, wear a life jacket over your swimsuit. You can enter the sea comfortably! ・In spring, April to early June, autumn, and mid-October to November, it is comfortable to wear a wet suit! ・In winter (December to March), when the cold is a concern, wear a waterproof suit that won't make you cold. Go into the sea in a dry suit! I want to take a peek into the beautiful blue sea of Amami! I want to meet sea turtles! If you are such a person, please join us. For the one-day plan, we will do a total of two dives, with a lunch break in between in the morning and afternoon.
The Amami Sea has a complex topography and many different points. The eastern side, the open Pacific Ocean side, has a lot of beautiful sea. We mainly guide you to the beautiful sea that you can see when you land on the plane. We guide you to various points depending on the wind direction on the day.
Tour scenes shot with GoPro. Our photography-loving guides are always happy to take photos. We will send you the photos via LINE Album or Send Anywhere within 3 days after the tour.
Our tours have a variety of plans. We value the idea that if I were to be guided by someone like this, I would like to have a guide like this! We strive to create tours that will leave you with fond memories (^^♪

Dress code - Must bring items | =Mid-June to early-October=Wear your swimsuit. We will not be wearing suits, so if you are concerned about sunburn or jellyfish, please bring your own rash guard or leggings. =April to early June and mid-October to November=Wear your swimsuit. It is comfortable because you will be wearing a wetsuit. =December to March=We will wear a waterproof dry suit. Please prepare a thin top and bottom over your swimsuit, and socks that go above your ankles. In case your suit gets submerged in water, you will be asked to wear a swimsuit, so please do not forget to bring a spare change of clothes. In addition, the suit has a tightening around the neck and wrists to prevent water from getting in, so if you get motion sickness easily, it is a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Please also bring drinks, towels, and change of clothes. After the tour, you can wash off the salt by showering with tap water or hot water (which will change depending on the season) that you bring in a cooler box, and then change clothes in the outdoor tent before disbanding. Please note that you will be changing clothes on site and will be towel-dried when moving out and leaving the tour. |
