Matters require attention |
[Age Notes] Those under 13 years old (elementary school students) must participate with a guardian. Those under 20 years old must have a guardian sign the application form. (We will send you the application form in PDF format after booking, so you can have them sign it before coming to the island.) Those over 60 years old must bring a doctor's certificate regardless of their health condition. [About moving to high altitudes after diving] ★Important★Due to diving medicine, you cannot board an airplane or move to a place above 500m (mountain climbing) within 12 hours after the end of the trial dive. Please note that we cannot accept those who are planning to return by airplane or mountain climbing on the day! However, if you are returning on the same day, there is no problem if you use a ferry or high-speed boat, and diving on the day of arrival is also fine. |
