Plan introduction( Snorkeling & Introductory Diving with Full-Face Mask)
This tour offers diving and snorkeling in the waters of Miyakojima, one of the most beautiful islands in Japan.
You can enjoy snorkeling and full face mask diving at Nakanoshima Beach on Shimoji Island, just across the bridge by car from Miyakojima.
Nakanoshima Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Miyako Island.
Even in the shallows, there are many coral reefs and tropical fish, making it like a natural aquarium.
A wide variety of fish can be seen, including clownfish.
Experienced guides give a thorough lecture at the beginning of the tour, so those who have never snorkeled before, those who are not good at swimming, and children can enjoy snorkeling without anxiety.
All necessary equipment is rented free of charge, so you can join the tour with no worries.
In addition, you can experience diving with a full-face mask.
The biggest attraction is that even those who are not comfortable in the ocean and children can play because they wear full-face masks that allow them to breathe more easily than normal diving.
This tour can be taken by children as young as 8 years old, and is recommended for children’s first dives.
