Disappointed.

I was looking forward to the experience diving, but honestly, I was a bit disappointed. I would have liked to receive a bit more explanation beforehand and dive more. Also, during the dive, the mouthpiece of the regulator came off, and if I hadn't been experienced, I think I would have panicked. There was no apology or anything afterward??? I wonder what that was about.体験ダイビングを楽しみにしていたのですが、正直ちょっとガッカリでした。 もう少し事前説明を受けて、潜りたかったです。 またダイビング中にレギュレーターのマウス部分が外れて、、、経験者じゃなかったら、パニックになってたと思います。 その後の謝罪も何もなく？？？どうなんでしょうね

Everyone was cheerful, and the service was polite. After diving and in the heat, my throat was dry, but I could enjoy as much free tea as I wanted, which made it a lot of fun. I would like to use this service again.みなさん明るく、対応も丁寧でした。 ダイビングや暑さで喉が乾くのですが、お茶は無料で何杯でも飲め、目一杯楽しめました。 また使わせていただきたいです。

I signed up with a friend. It was my second time diving, and it was my friend's first time. Since it was a small group tour, the instructor was able to give careful attention to each participant.

The underwater scenery was truly beautiful, and I was able to see colorful fish up close. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't take any photos (´;ω;｀). The instructor also engaged us with quizzes and shared interesting facts, which made it a lot of fun. I still cherish the shell I received for answering a quiz correctly!
I want to go to Ishigaki Island again. I went in January, but I also want to go in the summer... and I would love to dive again then! Thank you so much! (*'▽') 友人と2人で申し込みました。私は2回目のダイビング、友人は初めてでした。 少人数のツアーだったので、参加者ひとりひとりに丁寧に教えて頂けました。 私は2回目のダイビングだったのに久しぶりだったため怖くなってしまい・・・でもインストラクターの方がとても丁寧に指導してくださり、緊張が解けていきました。
I used this service in December, a season somewhat distant from marine leisure activities. I had a strong desire to dive in the beautiful waters of Ishigaki Island, so I was considering diving. There were several companies offering experience diving, but I chose this one because it was close to the port and operated with a small group.

I had a strong desire to dive in the beautiful waters of Ishigaki Island, so I was considering diving. There were several companies offering experience diving, but I chose this one because it was close to the port and operated with a small group.
One thing that was very helpful about this company was that a rental car is essential for sightseeing in Ishigaki Island, and they provided free parking. Additionally, the location of the company was close to the port and had a prominent sign, making it easy to find even in an unfamiliar area.
I wore a swimsuit for the experience. Since the only changing area was a small restroom, it might have been better to change beforehand. Although it was sunny, it felt a bit cool when the wind blew, so it would be wise to bring a light jacket. I was able to leave my valuables with the company and boarded the boat hands-free.
For the experience dive, we traveled by boat to the actual diving spot. During the trip, the instructor kindly engaged us in enjoyable conversation, which helped me relax and avoid seasickness.
This time, I participated with my spouse. We received about a 20-minute explanation at the start. The instructor carefully taught us how to breathe and what to expect, and we practiced using the equipment. Because it was a small group, each person received individual attention, which made me feel secure in preparing to dive. The instructor was very articulate and easy to understand.
I received instructions on the order of diving and surfacing, hand signals, and where to place my feet, which allowed me to approach the experience without anxiety. When we entered the water, the instructor waited until we were comfortable with our breathing before we dove. During the dive, if water entered my mask or I started to lose my balance, the instructor was right beside me to assist immediately.
The seabed was shallower than I had imagined, and I could see the surface of the water. There were many coral reefs, and I was able to observe small fish moving about. The instructor used a board to explain the rare corals and fish. I learned a skill while underwater, making it a very enjoyable first memory for my spouse and me.
After surfacing, the instructor on the boat promptly helped us remove our tanks, ensuring a thorough and safe conclusion to the dive. When we returned to the company, I was able to take a hot shower in one of the two private stalls. It was great not to have to leave sticky from the sea and to change smoothly. Finally, we received our valuables and parted ways. I didn’t have the opportunity to thank the instructor in person, so I would like to take this moment to express my gratitude. I created wonderful and fun memories, and now I want to challenge myself to obtain a diving license. I would like to use this service again. 12月という少しマリンレジャーからは、離れた季節に利用しました。 石垣島のきれいな海にどうしても潜ってみたいという思いがあったので、ダイビングを検討していました。 体験ダイビングを開催している会社はいくつもありましたが、そのなかでも、今回は港から近く少人数制で行なっているこの会社を選びました。 この会社でとても助かったことは、石垣島では観光時にレンタカーが必須になっているので、駐車場が無料で利用できたことです。また、会社の場所は港から近く目立つ看板があるので、初めての土地でもわかりやすかったです。 参加時… 12月という少しマリンレジャーからは、離れた季節に利用しました。 石垣島のきれいな海にどうしても潜ってみたいという思いがあったので、ダイビングを検討していました。 体験ダイビングを開催している会社はいくつもありましたが、そのなかでも、今回は港から近く少人数制で行なっているこの会社を選びました。 この会社でとても助かったことは、石垣島では観光時にレンタカーが必須になっているので、駐車場が無料で利用できたことです。また、会社の場所は港から近く目立つ看板があるので、初めての土地でもわかりやすかったです。 参加時は水着を着用しました。着替えるところが小さなトイレのみだったので、集合時間より前もって着替えておくとよかったのかもしれません。晴れていましたが、風に当たるとやや涼しく感じることもあったので、羽織物は持って行った方が良さそうです。貴重品は会社で預けることができ、手ぶらで船に乗りました。 体験ダイビングでは、実際に潜るスポットまで、船で移動してから行いました。移動中はインストラクターの方が親切に楽しく話を振ってくださいました。とてもリラックスできたので、船酔いしませんでした。 今回は夫婦で参加しました。最初に20分程度の説明を受けます。呼吸の仕方、起こりうることをひとつひとつ丁寧に教えてもらい、実際に器具を用いて練 習しました。少人数制だったので1人ずつ見てもらい、安心して潜る準備ができました。インストラクターはお話がとても上手でわかりやすかったです。 潜る、上がる時の順番、サイン、足の置く位置まで指示をもらったので、不安なく臨むことができました。海の中にはいった時も、呼吸に慣れるまで待ってから、潜ってくれました。ダイビング中、水が入ってしまったり、身体のバランスがとれずひっくり返りそうになった時も、インストラクターが隣についてすぐに対処してくれました。 海底は想像していたよりも浅く、海面が目視出来ました。珊瑚礁がたくさんあって、小さい魚が細々と動いている様子を見ることができました。 インストラクターが文字盤を使用して、珍しい珊瑚や魚の説明をしてくれました。海の中での一芸を教えてもらい、とても楽しい夫婦最初の思い出になりました。 上がった後も船で待機していたインストラクターに、すぐにボンベを降ろしてもらうなど、万全の体制の中、ダイビングを終了しました。 会社に戻ると、お湯でシャワーを浴びることができました。個室で２つありました。海でベタベタのまま帰らずに済み、着替えもスムーズにできたので、とてもよかったです。最後は貴重品を受け取って解散となりました。インストラクターにお礼を言う場がなかったので、改めてこの場を借りてお礼を申し上げます。とても素敵な楽しい思い出ができました。次はライセンス取得に挑戦したくなりました。また利用したいです。

After putting on the diving gear, we also received instruction on how to breathe through our mouths while submerged in the water. When we dove into the sea, one of the instructors was there to assist a couple, particularly the woman who was having difficulty diving, providing careful guidance until she was able to dive.
Once we were in the water, we moved around under the instructor's guidance, who wrote down and explained each marine creature we encountered on a board. The underwater scenery was breathtaking, with high visibility allowing us to see far and beautiful fish coming close to us. I was particularly happy to see small fish in the same spots as those on TV, and I was thrilled to see a clownfish (Nemo) and its habitat, which I had only seen in movies. We also got to explore large shells and coral reefs, and although we spent about 40 minutes in the water, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The boat we boarded had a restroom and provided warm tea, so there were no major inconveniences. While it was cold in other prefectures in early December, Okinawa was warm enough to wear short sleeves, so I didn't feel too cold in the wetsuit while entering the sea. After getting out of the water, I felt a bit chilly, but the instructor had prepared warm water to rinse off, which was very helpful.
What I was glad to have prepared for this trip were sandals, a swimsuit, and a bath towel. I had a waterproof camera, but it seems that a lifestyle waterproof level isn't sufficient for depths of 3 meters, so I would appreciate it if the shop could offer rentals for more durable options. 店舗立地は港近くにあるイーストチャイナシーのすぐ隣に店舗がありました。青色の店舗でとても目立つ外装のお店で、店舗内も気楽に過ごせる空間でした。
I had very little experience in the ocean, so I was quite anxious at first. However, the staff were very kind and entertaining, which eased my nerves before entering the water. I became curious about what the underwater world was like and felt more relaxed. They carefully taught me breathing techniques and how to equalize my ears in advance, so once I was in the water, I was able to stay calm and handle everything without panicking, allowing me to fully enjoy the underwater world.

They carefully taught me breathing techniques and how to equalize my ears in advance, so once I was in the water, I was able to stay calm and handle everything without panicking, allowing me to fully enjoy the underwater world. The sight of colorful fish swimming in the crystal-clear blue water was truly breathtaking. It was also great that the staff had an underwater notebook to teach us the names and characteristics of the fish. Personally, I was satisfied to see a clownfish. I only participated in the morning session, but it was so enjoyable that it felt too short. I definitely plan to go diving again the next time I come to Okinawa. Thanks to the staff, it became a truly unforgettable memory. Thank you very much! ダイビングの経験はもちろん、海に入った経験がほとんどなかったので、最初はとても不安でした。ただ、スタッフの皆さんがとても優しくおもしろい方だっただので、海に入る前には緊張もだいぶ解け、海の底はどんな世界なのか、早くみてみたいという好奇心が芽生えるほど、気持ちに余裕がもてました。呼吸法や耳ぬきの仕方も事前に丁寧に教えてくださったので、海に入ってからもあせることなく、落ち着いて対処することができ、海の世界を存分に楽しむことができました。透き通った青の世界に色とりどりの魚が泳いでいる光景は本当に圧巻で… ダイビングの経験はもちろん、海に入った経験がほとんどなかったので、最初はとても不安でした。ただ、スタッフの皆さんがとても優しくおもしろい方だっただので、海に入る前には緊張もだいぶ解け、海の底はどんな世界なのか、早くみてみたいという好奇心が芽生えるほど、気持ちに余裕がもてました。呼吸法や耳ぬきの仕方も事前に丁寧に教えてくださったので、海に入ってからもあせることなく、落ち着いて対処することができ、海の世界を存分に楽しむことができました。透き通った青の世界に色とりどりの魚が泳いでいる光景は本当に圧巻でした。また、スタッフの方が水中ノートをもち、魚の名前や特性などを教えてくださったのも良かったです。個人的にはクマノミを見れたのも満足でした。今回は午前中だけの参加だったのですが、物足りなさを感じるほど楽しく、あっという間の時間でした。次回また沖縄に来る際には絶対ダイビングをしようと思います。 スタッフの皆さんのおかげで本当に最高の思い出となりました。ほんとうにありがとうございました。

For my second time diving in life and my first time in Ishigaki Island, I had the experience at "Pushiinushima Ishigaki Store," where the staff, referred to as "Ishigaki's Ganchan" (laughs), work.
We took a boat to the diving point, and since we put on our wetsuits after arriving, it might be a good idea for those who are hesitant about just wearing swimsuits to wear clothes that can get wet along with a towel (^ - ^).

We took a boat to the diving point, and since we put on our wetsuits after arriving, it might be a good idea for those who are hesitant about just wearing swimsuits to wear clothes that can get wet along with a towel (^ - ^).
On the boat to the diving point, you can sit wherever you like within safe areas, such as the first deck, second deck, or bow, and it felt wonderful to experience the wind over the sea, something you don't usually get to do. By the way, my recommendation is the second deck (*^^*).
After arriving at the point, we had thorough instructions, and then we formed groups of four to experience diving. Various sea creatures, like clownfish and giant clams, swam close enough to touch. Since it was an introductory dive, it felt more like crawling along the seabed rather than swimming. In my case, since it was my second time and I had swum before, I felt a bit unsatisfied. I was motivated to swim more next time!!
After the introductory diving ended, we had free time for snorkeling, which felt like killing two birds with one stone. If you have a waterproof camera, bringing it might enhance your enjoyment (^ - ^).
On the boat, there was sanpin tea available for free. The sanpin tea after diving and snorkeling was exceptional!
Thank you to all the staff! 人生で2度目、石垣島では初めてのダイビングは、スタッフの方曰く、『石垣島のがんちゃん』(笑)が働いている『ぷしぃぬしま石垣店』で体験させていただきました。 ダイビングのポイントまでは船で行き、ポイントに着いてからウェットスーツを着るので、ポイントに行くまで水着だけで抵抗のある方はタオルの他に濡れてもいい服などを着て行ったほうがいいかもしれません(^-^) ポイントに着くまでの船では、1階デッキや2階デッキ、船首など安全な範囲の好きな所に座ることができ、普段はなかなか体験できないような、海の上での風を感じること… 人生で2度目、石垣島では初めてのダイビングは、スタッフの方曰く、『石垣島のがんちゃん』(笑)が働いている『ぷしぃぬしま石垣店』で体験させていただきました。 ダイビングのポイントまでは船で行き、ポイントに着いてからウェットスーツを着るので、ポイントに行くまで水着だけで抵抗のある方はタオルの他に濡れてもいい服などを着て行ったほうがいいかもしれません(^-^) ポイントに着くまでの船では、1階デッキや2階デッキ、船首など安全な範囲の好きな所に座ることができ、普段はなかなか体験できないような、海の上での風を感じることができ、とても気持ちよかったです。ちなみに私のオススメは2階デッキです(*^^*) ポイントに着いてからは、丁寧な指導の後、4人一組になり、ダイビングを体験しました。カクレクマノミやシャコガイなど様々な海の生き物が手で触れられるくらい近くを泳いでいました。体験ダイビングということもあってか、海底で泳ぐというより四つん這いになり進むという感じでした。私の場合は2回目で前回泳いでいたこともあり少し物足りない気もしました。次はたくさん泳ぎたいなという意欲が湧きました！！ 体験ダイビングが終了した後も、シュノーケリングができる自由時間があり一石二鳥といった感じです。もし防水カメラなどを持っているのであれば、持っていくともっと楽しめるかもしれません(^-^) 船には、さんぴん茶があり、自由に飲めました。ダイビング・シュノーケリング後のさんぴん茶は格別でした！
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

I chose the half-day plan for an introductory diving experience. We left our child at the daycare and enjoyed diving together as a couple for the first time in a while. Although we have licenses, it seems that half-day courses for fun diving are quite rare, and most shops charge for equipment rental, so we decided on this plan, which seemed to offer good value overall.

Since diving and snorkeling were at the same point, we ended up diving in relatively shallow waters. I usually struggle with equalizing my ears, but this time it was quite easy. While we didn't encounter as many fish as we had hoped, we enjoyed the refreshing feeling of diving after a long time.
We picked up customers via Taketomi Island, went to the dive site, and after one dive, we enjoyed snorkeling at another point. It seemed like there were many more fish at the snorkeling site. Other customers on the same boat with the snorkeling plan mentioned similar experiences. The blue of the sea at both sites was absolutely beautiful.
We had the option to snorkel with a life jacket or wear a wetsuit, and most of the snorkeling customers chose to wear wetsuits. I think wearing a wetsuit is better since it exposes less skin to the sun. Since we were on the diving plan, we didn't have the option of a life jacket and enjoyed snorkeling in wetsuits.
Since the route was round trip, I felt that a bit of time was wasted, but I think this plan is great for those staying on Taketomi Island. The scheduled return time of 11:30 was pushed to 11:55. I had informed the daycare that I would pick up my child around noon, and since I hadn't packed lunch for them, I felt a bit rushed. I was able to pick them up around 12:30.
Since it was a half-day plan, lunch was a bit late after the tour, but it was nice to be able to explore the sightseeing spots at a leisurely pace. 午前中だけのプランで体験ダイビングを選択しました。 子どもは託児所に預けて、夫婦で久しぶりのダイビング。 ライセンスを持っていますが、半日コースでファンダイビングはあまりないようで、また、ファンダイビングは器材レンタルが有料のショップが大半を占めている為、総合的にお得だと思われるこちらのプランにしました。 ダイビングとシュノーケルが同じポイントということでかなり浅いところでのダイビングとなりました。 普段どちらかというと苦手な耳抜きも難なくできる程でした。 期待していた程の魚に会えることはなかったですが、… 午前中だけのプランで体験ダイビングを選択しました。 子どもは託児所に預けて、夫婦で久しぶりのダイビング。 ライセンスを持っていますが、半日コースでファンダイビングはあまりないようで、また、ファンダイビングは器材レンタルが有料のショップが大半を占めている為、総合的にお得だと思われるこちらのプランにしました。 ダイビングとシュノーケルが同じポイントということでかなり浅いところでのダイビングとなりました。 普段どちらかというと苦手な耳抜きも難なくできる程でした。 期待していた程の魚に会えることはなかったですが、久しぶりのダイビングでリフレッシュダイビング感覚で楽しめました。 竹富島経由でお客さんを乗せ、ポイントに行き、１本ダイビングした後、別のポイントでシュノーケルを楽しみました。 シュノーケルのポイントの方が魚は沢山いたように思います。同じ船に乗っていたシュノーケルプランのお客さんも同じようなことを言っていました。 どちらも海の青さはとてもきれいでした。 ライフジャケット着用でシュノーケルをするか、ウェットスーツを着てシュノーケルをするか選べ、シュノーケルプランのお客さんの殆どがウェットスーツを着ていました。ウェットスーツだと日焼けする箇所が少なく良いと思います。 私たちはダイビングプランだったのでライフジャケットの選択はなくウェットスーツでシュノーケルを楽しみました。 経由地が往復であるので、その分の時間が若干勿体ないな、と思いましたが、竹富島滞在の方には嬉しいプランだと思います。 11時30分に戻るとなっていた予定が11時55分の戻りになりました。 託児所に12時頃、お迎えにあがると連絡しており、お昼ごはんを持たせていなかったので少し焦りました。 お迎えに行けたのは12時30分位でした。 半日プランだったので、解散後、昼食は遅めになりましたが、観光地をゆっくり回れたので良かったです。

The highlight is the relatively shallow sea around Taketomi Island! It seems that the Yaeyama Islands have more coral than Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Two boats merged, and participants for diving and snorkeling entered the same spot. The diving group split into two teams of seven!
On the boat, they carefully taught us how to put on snorkel goggles, how to equalize pressure, and how to clear water from the goggles, all with a touch of humor! The guide was quite entertaining.
Now, let's get in … The highlight is the relatively shallow sea around Taketomi Island! It seems that the Yaeyama Islands have more coral than Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

On the boat, they carefully taught us how to put on snorkel goggles, how to equalize pressure, and how to clear water from the goggles, all with a touch of humor! The guide was quite entertaining.
Now, let's get in the water! The depth is shallow, ranging from 3 to 5 meters, with a bright white sandy bottom! I waited for other participants to enter the sea, crawling on the sand. Instead of swimming, I moved along the seabed with my hands to avoid stirring up the sand! There were large corals, and I saw many fish, including clownfish, there. They explained things not only through gestures but also by writing on a board, which was reassuring.
It was incredibly beautiful, but it felt like we didn't move much and were looking at the same spot. When I looked up, I saw snorkelers on the surface! After finishing diving, I was able to snorkel while others were diving, but honestly, since I could see almost the same underwater scenery, I wondered if diving was really necessary.
When I experienced diving abroad, I went down about 10 meters, so I felt a bit let down in that regard. I won't be getting a license, so I would be happy if there were plans that allowed for deeper dives. I think this depth is typical for experience diving in Japan, and it's great for those who are truly trying it for the first time! Above all, the staff were all wonderful, the service was great, and it was fun, so I highly recommend it! ポイントは竹富島周辺の割と浅瀬の海‼︎ 八重山諸島はオーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフよりも珊瑚は多いらしいです。 2隻の船が合流してダイビングとシュノーケリングのツアー参加者が同じポイントで入りました。 ダイビングは7名が2班に分かれて！ 船上ではシュノーケルのゴーグルの付け方から耳抜きやゴーグルに入った水の抜き方などを、シュールな笑いを含めて丁寧に教えてくれます‼︎ このガイドのお兄さんが結構ツボでしたo(^▽^)o笑
