We offer day trips for certified divers, intro divers, and snorkellers out on our 34 ft cruiser - The Flying Dragon. We usually head out to the spectacular dive/snorkeling sites located in the the Kerama island group, which is world famous for its magnificient coral reefs and abundant sea life. We also take day trips to the Chiibishi Islands, Rukan Atoll, Onna Village, and Sesoko-Island. (See the dive locations map)
We offer 2 tank, 3 tank, and snorkeling trips from our boat. Here is a typical schedule for a day trip out to the islands:
8:15 am - Meet at the boat harbor, set up gear, prepare for departure
9:00 am - Depart for Kerama Islands
10:00 am - Arrive at first dive site, dive preparation, enter the water
11:30 am - Arrive at second dive site, dive preparation, enter the water
12:30 - 2:00 pm - Lunch break at second dive site, snorkeling, nap time, relax
2:00 pm - Depart for final dive (usually a drift dive), preparation, enter the water
3:00 pm - Leave the Keramas, head home
4:00 pm - Arrive at the marina, drive to shop for debriefing and log book, sayonara!
All day trips are totally dependant on weather conditions, currents, wind, and tide changes. Time schedules are very flexible because of Okinawa's sudden changes in weather. Please check with us for current conditions and schedules.
