Ishigaki/Yaeyama
I participated in diving for the first time with a friend. Before joining, I felt quite anxious, but thanks to our fun guide, I was able to relax and enjoy the dive.
We set off on the boat to the diving spot. The guide explained various equipment and safety points in a light-hearted manner, making it easy to understand.
Since there were six participants, we split into two groups of four. While the first group was diving, we enjoyed snorkeling. And finally, it was time for the dive!! I was worried about whether I could breathe and if my ears would equalize, but with the guide's smooth instructions, I was able to dive safely.
Underwater, we saw fish and swam around; it was a short but enjoyable time with explanations. I even learned about Nemo, making it like a classroom in the ocean!
What was disappointing was that the water was murky and there weren't many fish.
Next time, I hope to see clearer waters and participate again! Thank you!
友人と2人で初めてダイビングに参加しました。参加する前は不安の気持ちが大きかったのですが、楽しいガイドさんのおかげで、リラックスしながらダイビングをすることができました。
船を走らせて、ダイビングスポットへ。色々な装備や注意点について、ボケを交えながらしっかり説明してくれたので、理解がスムーズでした。
ダイビング参加者が6人いたので2人4人に別れて潜ることに。前半組が潜る間、シュノーケリングを楽しみました。そしていよいよダイビング!!呼吸ができるか、耳抜き大丈夫かなど心配でしたが、ガイドさんのスムーズな誘導で無事に潜れました。
水中ではお魚を見たり泳いだりと、短い間ですが解説付きの楽しい時間でした。ニモについてもお勉強できて、海の中の教室でした!
残念だったのは、水中が濁っているのと、魚が少なかったことです。
次回はもっと綺麗に見れることを期待して参加したいと思います!ありがとうございました!
I had been thinking about doing some marine sports in Ishigaki, where the sea is beautiful, but diving seemed expensive, so I didn't decide on anything until the day I left for Ishigaki. On the way there, I searched online and decided to book through this site that offers cashback! I planned to dive on the second day, so I made the reservation the day before. It was great that I could easily book it right away!
On the day of the dive, after a brief explanation upon arrival, we quickly boarded the boat and set off! It felt amazing to ride over the beautiful sea under clear skies! I even felt happy getting splashed by the waves. Once we arrived at the diving spot, there was a thorough explanation, and after changing clothes, we started diving right away! The instructor was attentive and took care of each of us. The moment I put my face in the water, I was amazed by the beauty of the sea! However, as someone who can't swim well and has poor athletic ability, I felt a bit scared of the seabed about 3 to 4 meters below... But thanks to the kind and funny TJ (the instructor, haha), I managed to reach the seabed while battling ear pressure! Both my friend and I, being first-time divers, were so moved by the world we saw that we got goosebumps! We saw Nemo and fish with stripes and dots, and we were completely satisfied.
After the diving, while another group was diving, we had free time to snorkel, which was also amazing! Thanks to the wetsuit, I was able to float even though I couldn't swim. I'm really glad I went! I could stay in the sea forever without getting bored! I definitely want to go again, and I hope TJ will be my instructor next time too!
海がきれいな石垣で何かマリンスポーツをしたいなと思ってはいたのですが、ダイビング系は料金が高いイメージで結局石垣に出発する日まで何も決まらず、、向かってる途中でネットで調べてキャッシュバックがあるこちらのサイトでお願いすることにしました!ダイビングは2日目にしようと思っていたので予約したのは前日です。簡単にすぐ予約が取れたのでよかったです♡当日は現地についてから簡単な説明後すぐ船に乗り込み出発!快晴の中きれいな海の上を走るのはすっごく気持ちよかったです!しぶきがかかるのも幸せだと感じました♫ ダイビング場所についてからはじっくり説明があって着替えて?早速ダイビング!インストラクターの方が一人ずつしっかりついてくれてケアしてくれます。海の中に顔をつけた途端、海のきれいさに感動しました♡が、泳げず運動神経が悪い私は3、4m下の海底がちょっと怖く感じました、、でも優しくて面白いTJ(インストラクター 笑)のおかげで耳鳴りと戦いながらなんとか海底まで行けました♡ダイビング初な私も友達も、初めて見る世界で鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました♡ニモも見れたしボーダーやドット柄の魚も見れて、もう大満足です。ダイビングが終わった後は別な方がダイビングをしている間、自由行動でシュノーケルもさせていただきました♡これもまた感動♡ボディスーツ?のおかげで体が浮くので泳げなくてもなんとかなります。本当に行ってよかった♡ずっと海にいても飽きません!!また絶対
行きたいし次もインストラクターはTJがいいです♫笑
My first snorkeling experience. I was very nervous, but I was taught carefully, and even as a beginner, I was able to enjoy it. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, but underwater, it was a completely different world, and I had a blast with my friends! The phantom island felt mystical, as if it were standing right in the middle of the ocean.
初めてのシュノーケリング。とてもドキドキしていましたが丁寧に教えていただき、初心者でも楽しめました。あいにくの曇り空でしたが、海の中は全く関係なく別世界が広がっており、友達と一緒に大はしゃぎ‼幻の島も海のど真ん中に立っているようで神秘的でした。
