Discover Scuba Diving
Discover Scuba Diving is a program for those who have never tried scuba diving before, or who are not yet certified.
It is a short try-diving experience for adults and children aged 10+.
This course introduces you to the basics of scuba diving without certifying you as a diver.
The northern area, where our shop is located, is far from the urban area of the island. So the diving area and diving sites we cover differs from the areas the shops in the southern area (urban area) cover.
The northern area of Ishigaki Island is known for its beautiful coral and colorful tropical fishes. I’m sure you would want to see the beautiful ocean and gorgeous sea life when going on the diving tour so doesn’t it sound like a perfect choice?
Discover scuba diving tour at S2CLUB ISHIGAKI is the right place to go for those who want to enjoy the ocean of Ishigaki Island!!
Also, when trying new things it is important that you get to enjoy that experience safely and make it a great memory.
Our motto is “safety” and “comfort”.
We only take 2 guests per instructor on a discover scuba diving tour so we can assure your safety.
Here are 3 reasons why you want to dive with us !!
1.Great visibility and “Ishigaki blue” ocean
The ocean of Ishigaki has a very beautiful blue color – “ishigaki blue”. The visibility is great with an average of 20m and sometimes up to 30m. Because we only have few diving shops in the northern area, compared to the diving sites near the urban area, we have fewer divers entering our diving sites. Therefore we have beautiful untouched underwater worlds, waiting for you to dive.
2. Beautiful underwater world and cute sea life
As there are only few diving shops in this area, not as many divers have stepped foot in our beautiful ocean.
Beautiful scenery of colorful tropical fishes and other sea life awaits you under the sea.
You might be able to meet the famous NEMO (clownfish) or if you are lucky a cute sea turtle might swim by during your diving tour!
3. A life changing experience
Our diving tours are all boat diving. The good thing about boat diving is that you do not have to walk long distances, carrying heavy equipment, to dive.
There are varieties of diving sites that we can go on discover scuba diving tours. We promise to take you to the best diving site where you can have the most fun that day.
Your day on the boat itself is an extraordinary experience!
The world underwater is a totally different world.
Exploring and experiencing the under water world yourself, seeing, feeling, hearing the underwater world with your own eyes and ears is definitely a life changing experience!
You can hear the fishes nibbling on their foods…
You can hear yourself breathing…
You can see the sunlight shining through the surface…
You can see the details you never knew about sea life…
You can feel the water…
You can feel the weightlessness under water…
Underwater world is your own world of fun!!
