Plan Overview
A trial dive is a program that allows anyone—even those without a certification—to experience scuba diving under the guidance of an instructor.
This course is designed to help you enjoy your first dive while learning underwater hand signals, practicing breathing in shallow water, and swimming underwater.
Leave all the hassle of preparing diving masks, tanks, equipment, wetsuits, and more to Blue Ocean.
This course is designed for first-time divers, with a dedicated instructor assigned to each group.
Our staff are all experienced professionals, so please feel free to participate with peace of mind.
We will provide slow and careful support from the very beginning.
This is an introductory diving tour that even first-timers and non-swimmers can enjoy.
A key feature of our “Blue Cave Introductory Diving” tour, which is accessed by boat, is the very high probability of reaching the Blue Cave.
With a track record of guiding 350,000 guests since opening and over 1,300 Google reviews,
we offer our services with the confidence that comes from having welcomed so many customers.
Our sauna facility is now complete, so you can enjoy “sauna activities” and experience comfortable diving in a warm environment even during Okinawa’s cooler months (reservation required).
