Winter Discount! Enjoy Okinawa's beautiful ocean with this short boat dive, departing from the port right next to the popular tourist spot, American Village! Recommended for those who don't have time for a full-day diving tour, those worried about long-distance boat travel, and first-time divers. The dive spot, "Sunabe," is just 10 minutes from departure and is popular with divers. You can see colorful corals, schools of tropical fish, and, if you're lucky, even clownfish and underwater postboxes! (You might even spot a sea turtle!) Choose from four departure times: 9:00, 11:00, 13:00, and 15:00. While this will be your first choice, if there are no scheduled departures, please consider switching to another trip. The meeting time is 30 minutes before each time. Island Message's friendly and experienced staff will be on hand to guide your group! You can receive digital copies of your photos the same day. ◎ [Schedule (for a 9:00 AM departure)] 8:30 AM: Meet at the port. Get a diving briefing and change before departure. 9:00 AM: Boat departs. 9:10 AM: Arrival at the dive site. 9:20 AM: Dive begins. Begin your dive slowly with your instructor. Once you've reached the bottom, take a commemorative photo underwater. ♪ Explore the underwater world with your instructor! Observe the scenery and wildlife. Surface when the time is right and head back to the boat. 10:00 AM: Dive completes, prepare for departure. 10:30 AM: Arrive at the port (you can take a quick shower and change). *The minimum travel time is 10 minutes, but on some days it may take up to 20 minutes. Please feel free to ask any questions.
If you are staying at a hotel near American Village, we can also provide a shuttle service. If you rent a car, you will need to change into your clothes after diving, which takes time, but the shuttle service is safe to use, so you can get back to your hotel quickly after just a quick change of clothes, which is highly recommended! Please let us know when you make your reservation.
The boat ride is quite short, so you can enjoy plenty of time for sightseeing after diving! Even if you choose a short plan, you will have more than 30 minutes underwater! Our friendly staff will guide you through the Okinawan ocean at a leisurely pace.
Photos taken during diving will be sent to you for free on the same day as digital copies. We are also waiting for your requests such as "I want you to take a photo like this!"

Plan attractions
It takes just 10 minutes to reach the point You can reach the diving point in as little as 10 minutes from the meeting point, "Hamakawa Fishing Port"! Recommended for those who are worried about traveling long distances by boat!
There are many ways to play because it is a short plan. This is your chance to swim in a sea that is different from the Kerama Islands! You will slowly get used to the water before you start swimming, so it is perfect for those who are new to diving or who want to practice a little before boarding a day trip!
Of course you can meet a variety of creatures! Depending on the spot, you might even be able to meet everyone's favorite, the clownfish!
You can continue planning your next trip after diving! After your dive, we recommend heading to American Village, a popular tourist spot that is within walking distance, for tea or lunch!
Time schedule
Gather at the port! After gathering at the port, you will receive a briefing on diving and change into a wetsuit. Even if you are a little nervous about diving, you can rest assured that you will receive a thorough explanation here! *This is a model case for the 9:00 a.m. flight.
Departure! Feeling the pleasant sea breeze, you will arrive at the spot in no time.
Let's start diving! Reviewing the previous explanation, we get used to the water and breathing, then we go underwater. Colorful fish and soft corals will welcome you!
Not just natural things, but man-made things too! You might be able to see some man-made underwater objects that you don't usually see in your everyday life. It's interesting to see that they are also habitats for fish! By the way, this is an underwater postbox.
Back to port! Once you've had your fill of fun in the water, you'll return to the boat and head back to the harbor for the day's disbandment!
