Plan Overview
With a full-face mask, you can breathe through your nose—unlike with traditional diving, where breathing through your nose wasn’t possible, making it feel difficult.
In other words, you can breathe just like you do on land.
Instructors recommend this course for first-time divers.
Of course, we also offer prescription masks, so we can accommodate those with vision concerns.
Since there’s no need to hold a mouthpiece in your mouth, we recommend trying a full-face mask for your first diving experience.
This mask is designed for those who are nervous about diving or have difficulty breathing through their mouth.
Since water rarely enters the mask—even during mask clearing—anyone can easily enjoy a trial dive.
・What is a Trial Dive?
A trial dive is a program that allows even those without a license 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, diving 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.
The highlight of our “Blue Cave Introductory Diving” tour, which departs by boat, is the extremely high probability of reaching the Blue Cave.
There is no need to descend the stairs at Maeda Cape.
You also won’t have to walk while carrying heavy equipment like tanks.
We recommend this tour for those who aren’t confident in their physical fitness or prefer to travel by boat.
You have a very high chance of visiting Okinawa’s Blue Cave.
Wearing a full-face mask makes breathing and equalizing your ears easy.
A dedicated instructor will guide you exclusively and stay with you the entire time underwater.
For first-time divers, the instructor will provide a thorough explanation, followed by practice in shallow water, and tailor the experience to each guest’s needs.
Our introductory diving tours feature a dedicated instructor who guides one group of guests exclusively.
