Introduce a section of the Open water diver course
Confined water training
The Open Water course, which is the first course in scuba diving, offers you the opportunity to experience everything for the first time. You will practice essential diving skills and emergency procedures in a pool or shallow water (an environment equivalent to a pool)
Shore diving
We will do beach diving while deepening your understanding in Okinawa’s rich underwater environment and ideal training locations. Before practicing skills in the water, it is important to thoroughly understand on land why they are necessary, the procedures, and the actual situations in which they are needed.
Buoyancy skill
Neutral buoyancy is the most important element in diving. It is one of the defining characteristics of your ideal diver and may be an eternal challenge for all divers. By diving without stress or discomfort underwater, you can comfortably observe marine life and enhance your overall diving experience. Using streamlined equipment suitable for achieving neutral buoyancy will significantly improve your diving skills. Let’s enjoy the beautiful waters of Okinawa by utilizing the knowledge of your instructor, who is also a technical diver.
