◆General diving

• Are there any participation requirements?
  All courses are open to healthy individuals aged 10 and over.
  However, if you have a history of respiratory illnesses such as asthma, or circulatory problems related to the heart or blood, you may not be able to participate. Please make sure to check the medical history questionnaire.
• Are there any illnesses that prevent you from diving?
  There are several illnesses that may pose a risk during diving.
  These include angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, high blood pressure, asthma, pneumothorax, and epilepsy. In any case, if you have a pre-existing medical condition, please consult a specialist doctor before participating.
  We can also introduce you to local specialists who are knowledgeable about diving, so please feel free to inquire.
• Can you go diving during your period?
  As long as your menstrual pain is not severe, you'll be fine.
  You may participate in diving while taking medication to delay your period, so please do so if needed. Please dive within a range that does not strain your physical condition on the day.
• Can I dive with contact lenses?
  Yes, that's fine. However, since there's no guarantee it won't come off or get lost, we recommend bringing disposable contact lenses.
• Can I not fly on an airplane on the same day I go diving?
  To prevent decompression sickness, a diving-related illness, you must wait at least 18 hours after diving before flying. Please keep this in mind when making your plans.
• I'm coming alone, is that okay?
  Solo participants are very welcome! Many of our customers join alone, and our staff will provide full support, so you won't feel lonely. Making friends with other participants on the same course and expanding your social circle is one of the charms of diving.
• Is it canceled if it rains?
  Rain is not a problem for diving at all. We will proceed as scheduled even on rainy days.
  In the event of strong winds such as typhoons causing rough seas, we may be forced to change or cancel courses. No cancellation fees will be incurred if the course is canceled due to our judgment in the event of bad weather.
  However, please note that cancellation fees will be incurred if you cancel at your own discretion.
• Can you dive in winter?
  Of course, you can dive in winter too. The period when the water temperature drops (to a minimum of around 20°C) is also when the ocean's visibility significantly improves.
  From large creatures to macro life, winter in Ishigaki Island is also highly recommended. Even though it's winter, it's the tropical Ishigaki Island. You can dive comfortably with a wetsuit and hooded vest.
  If you say, "I'm sensitive to cold," then diving in a dry suit is also a good option.
• What kind of boat do we take for diving?
  We guide you on two boats, one with a capacity of 15 people and the other with a capacity of 13 people. While they are not large cruiser types, they offer ample space for you to relax comfortably.
  There are also toilets available. Although there is a space to avoid the sun, we recommend bringing your own sunscreen.
• Are there any childcare facilities available?
  While we are unable to look after your children at our facility, we can recommend a childcare center in the city. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can rest assured.
