Have you ever wondered what secrets lie beneath Okinawa’s turquoise waters?
Imagine breathing underwater while swimming alongside brightly colored fish and corals, drifting next to majestic turtles, or exploring fascinating shipwrecks—all with ease and freedom.
Join us for your first diving adventure in Okinawa!
Our experienced PADI instructors are passionate about the ocean and committed to making your underwater experience unforgettable. Choose from a variety of dive locations around the island—from day trips to the stunning Kerama Islands to two incredible dives at the famous Blue Cave at Maeda Point in Onna. We offer flexible schedules and personalized diving experiences tailored just for you.
Finding the right place to dive
We’ve all been there.
As divers gain experience, the search for the next perfect dive destination can feel endless. With websites like Tripadvisor and Skyscanner at your fingertips, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by information—and still feel like you haven’t found the right spot.
Whether you’re dreaming of diving in Japan or any other top dive destination, there’s simply too much to read in one lifetime!
When we started Sunkissed Divers Okinawa, we had one simple goal for experienced divers: KISS—Keep It Stupid Simple. (Also a fun nod to our blond owner’s name!)
You don’t need to memorize that Mermaid’s Grotto, a popular shore dive in Okinawa, hosts six different types of anemone fish, or that whale sharks won’t be found at the WWII wreck USS EMMONS. But it’s crucial to know that currents at both sites can change suddenly and become very strong.
Tell us about your experience level and what kind of dive you’re after, and we promise to match you with the perfect dive site. For more inspiration, check out our Fun for Certified Divers section!
