About This Tour
Let's enjoy your first diving experience in the clear and beautiful waters of Yakushima! The blue sea of Yakushima nurtures a rich ecosystem, creating a rich paradise where a variety of creatures live peacefully. Let's take a peek into these beautiful waters of Yakushima! This "Introductory Diving / Basic 1 Dive Course" is an activity primarily focused on the experience of breathing underwater! Note: The main purpose of this course is the underwater breathing experience, and because the dive time is short, you will rarely meet sea turtles. If you want to extend your dive time to meet sea turtles and observe nature, please apply for the "Special 1-Dive Course (commonly known as the Sea Turtle Course)" rather than this course. Special Offer: All photos and videos taken by us during the tour will be provided to you free of charge after the tour! Even on days with fewer shots, we'll capture over 50 photos and videos, ensuring you have lasting memories of your enjoyable experience.
