昔ダイビングを少しやっていたものの、久々のシュノーケル&子連れで不安でしたが、松浦さんの丁寧な説明のおかげで安心してスタートできました。 6歳の息子は前日に初めてゴーグルを着用したばかりだったので、浮き輪で引っ張ってもらいながら箱メガネで魚を見て大はしゃぎ。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができて、松浦さんは良いアングルの写真が撮れるまで粘り強くシャッターを切ってくれました。 興奮した息子は浮き輪から降りて、シュノーケルを始めてみたところ…できちゃいました。本人も自信がついたようで、他にもアクティビティをしたのですが、シュノーケルが一番楽しかった!またやりたい!とご満悦。 体験後もおすすめスポットやお店のリストを長文メールで送ってくださり、他のツアーと比較して低価格なのに、こんなに親切で充実した内容に大大大満足でした!! また宮古島に行く時は、松浦さんにシュノーケリングツアーをお願いしたいです。本当にありがとうございました!!

ツアーを大満喫させていただきました。水深が5−7m程度の砂地にあるサンゴ礁の横を横から見るコースでのシュノーケリングは、色とりどりの魚がいて龍宮城や水族館の水槽の中で泳いでいるようで、とてもキレイでした。シュノーケリングができれば比較的安心だと思いましたので、子供たちを連れてきたいと思いました。ウミガメの遭遇率が高いとは聞いていたのですが、アオウミガメに8・9匹くらい会えたのは感動です!ウミガメのねぐらとなっているサンゴ礁につれてっていてくれたので、サンゴ礁の上で寝ているウミガメは初めて見ることが出来ました。荷物としてかさばるウェットスーツもフィンも貸してくれたし、終了後は温水シャワーも浴びさせてくれて、GoProで撮った写真・動画も追加料金無しで頂けて最高です。一ヶ月前に沖縄で体験ダイビング・シュノーケリングしていたのですが、超えたと思います。奄美大島、オススメです!

初めてのシュノーケル。ちゃんと出来るかドキドキでしたが、準備や装備、呼吸のやり方まで 親切丁寧に教えていただけたので、全く問題なかったです。 船で無人島の近くを回ってもらいながら、沖のお勧めポイントでのシュノーケリング。 海は透き通っていてとても綺麗でした。 魚に餌やりも出来て、海の中のポストも見ることが出来ます。シュノーケリング中はインストラクターの方がすぐ近くにいてくれるので、初心者でも安心してチャレンジ出来ると思います。帰りは島を一周する感じで、行きとは違う景色を観ることも出来ます。また、船で移動するところからGoProで撮影してもらえるので思い出にもなって、すごく有り難かったです。 このプランにして良かったです。 楽しかった!また来ます!

初めての体験ダイビングで、最初海に入った時は不安になりギブアップしようかと思ったのですが、スタッフさん達がとても優しく丁寧に教えてくださり、最後まで諦めずに付き添っていただいたおかげで不安もなくなり潜ることができました! おかげで石垣のキレイな海の中の景色を堪能でき、最高の思い出になりました。 体験ダイビングではロープを伝って降りるだけで終わりというショップが多いと聞いていたのですが、こちらのショップではしっかり時間をかけて海の中を案内してくださいました。 船の上でもスタッフさん達と楽しくお話できて1日があっという間でした! お昼に用意していただいたお弁当もおいしかったー! 最後に撮ってもらった写真を送ってもらったのですがそれもホントにキレイで永久保存版です! (私が写ってる写真はあえて載せてないですがお魚と一緒に撮ってもらった写真もたくさんいただきました♪) また次は友達を連れてこちらにお願いしたいです! 本当にありがとうございました!

初ダイビングを体験させていただきました。 サポートメンバーの方達全員が気さくで話しやすかったのと、初めてでも非常に丁寧に説明いただきました。 初ダイビングには非常にオススメなのと、ライセンスも取れるとの事でした。 事前連絡から当日まで非常に大満足なダイビング体験になりました。 今回はマンタが残念ながら見られなかったので、次回見れた時に最高評価をつけさせていただこうと思います。

初めてのナイトシュノーケルで不安ではありましたが、ガイドさんの分かりやすい説明と時間が不安を解消してくれました! 海に入るとそこには、、、 ペンライトに照らされた何とも言い表せない幻想的な景色や、夜に活動する魚達が泳いでおり日中には無い貴重な体験をする事が出来ました!魚の数は昼間の方が多いです。 でも…晴れていれば海に浮きながら観る星空は格別なんだろうなーー…と思いながらもあっという間に体験時間が終了してしまいました。 是非、昼間とは違う海の世界を皆さんも堪能されてみてはいかがでしょうか。 おすすめです!!
