Frequently asked questions about this plan

Q. Is it possible to participate even if it is my first time diving?

You will receive training from the instructor well in advance, and you will always receive support and peace of mind during the tour.

Also, many people start diving as beginners, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages and physical fitness levels!

Q. Is there a place to change on the day?

The ship's restrooms are used in conjunction with the changing rooms, so you can change your clothes.

Ship facilities include simple showers (water), toilets, and changing rooms (also used as restrooms) so that you can change and disembark when you disembark.

Q. What is the difference between the two?How do I get to Obama Port?

Kohama Port can be reached in about 30 minutes by ferry departing from Ishigaki Port Remote Islands Terminal.

Ferry arrival and departure times are,this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)for more information.

Q. What is the difference between the two?Is the meeting place easy to find?

After disembarking from the ferry, this is in front of the quay, which has moved to the right (north side) when looking at the Obama Port Terminal.

Our staff wearing blue polo shirts are waiting for you.

Q. What is the difference between the two?Do I have to wear a life jacket?

For safety reasons, all guests are required to wear life jackets (life preservers) or wetsuits.
Even those who can swim may suddenly have a seizure, and we believe it is necessary to ensure their safety.

Q. What is the difference between the two?Are there toilets on the ship?

Each boat is equipped with a toilet. The toilet is used differently than usual, using seawater for flushing and all dumping is done underwater, so toilet paper should be thrown in the trash. (Detailed instructions on how to use these toilets will be provided at the time of your tour.)

Q. What is the difference between the two?I have poor eyesight. Do you have rental masks with glasses?

We also rent masks (one size only) with prescription (limited to those with less than 0.1 vision).

Snorkeling with a mask while wearing contact lenses is also possible. *We are not responsible for lost contact lenses.

Q. Can I participate during pregnancy?

Pregnant women are not permitted to attend. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The guide was very kind and attentive, so we were able to enjoy the ocean of Kohama Island. My child experienced snorkeling, but was too scared to leave the boat, so the guide gave him something like a beat board and guided him individually. The guide gave us a beat board and guided us individually. My child was very excited to see Nemo and we were very grateful. I highly recommend this tour!

The Kohama Island Experience Diving Tour was perfect for my first diving experience! Thanks to the careful guidance of the guides, even as a beginner I was able to enjoy the undersea world with ease. The experience of swimming among colorful tropical fish and beautiful coral reefs was like being in a natural aquarium. The feeling of weightlessness in the crystal clear water is truly a memory that will last a lifetime. I had some health concerns, but thanks to the advance checks and attention to detail, I was able to enjoy the tour safely. I am grateful for the beauty of the Chura Sea and the professionalism of the guides!

We were all very nervous because it was the first time for all of us to dive, but thanks to the kind and careful explanation by the cool guide and his repeated calls to us, we were able to breathe, which we thought was difficult, before we knew it, and enjoyed exploring the ocean floor with our father, eldest daughter, and eldest son.

It was a really fun and valuable experience! I was told that my muscles would ache the next day, and sure enough, they did! I don't know if it was the use of muscles I don't usually use or my lack of exercise, lol! I wonder if I used muscles that I don't usually use or if I am not exercising enough. Thank you very much!

We participated from our hotel on Kohama Island. We took the hotel shuttle bus to Kohama Port, which was right on the way. We were in the middle of the ocean where we could see the horizon in 5 minutes by boat. We were allowed to swim at a point where there were 400 types of coral even though the diving experience was not that deep. Even if you are not a good swimmer, I think it is enjoyable enough.
