Let's enjoy diving even more!
It can be said about any hobby, but diving is a sport that becomes more enjoyable the better you get at it.
You can discover even more of diving's appeal with this course, which expands your range of activities. Get your Advanced certification and dive into seas around the world!
It would be a real shame if you came all the way to Ishigaki Island but couldn't dive in its beautiful waters, wouldn't it? To fully enjoy the charm of Ishigaki's ocean, boat diving is an absolute must.
Of course, you won't have to carry heavy equipment around, so even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can easily enjoy it! You can access various diving spots, allowing you to maximize your enjoyment while participating in the course.
The Advanced Course expands the scope of your diving experience. We want you to truly improve and enjoy diving from the bottom of your heart!
So that you never feel "still a bit unsure" or "want to practice a little more," our completely small-group setting allows you to practice to your heart's content without worrying about others!
The seas in the northern part of Ishigaki Island are pristine and untouched. Compared to the waters near the city center, the number of divers entering these points is overwhelmingly smaller, allowing nature to be preserved.
The untouched sea boasts exceptional clarity, always captivating us! Experience the "Ishigaki Blue" with your whole body!
You will be able to dive to a depth of 30 meters. There are many dive sites, both in Japan and overseas, that you cannot dive at unless you have an Advanced certification, so obtaining it will greatly expand your diving possibilities.
Furthermore, by practicing various specialties while having fun during 5 dives over 2 days, your skills are guaranteed to improve.
Let's take your skills to the next level in the sparkling, enchanting waters of Ishigaki Island. Solo participants are also very welcome!
Please take this opportunity to come visit Ishigaki Island! We look forward to seeing you there!
