We will guide you through the underwater world with safety as our top priority, working towards the goal of encountering sea turtles.

Boat fun diving（For certified divers）

This program is for certified divers. We will guide you to dives that take advantage of the unique topography and marine life of the Manza area, tailored to your needs.

For example, we offer cave dives for divers who want to enjoy the topography, drop-off dives where you can hopefully encounter sharks and turtles, and dives in the coral reefs and white sandy seas that evoke the essence of Okinawa. Our owner, with 20 years of guiding experience in Manza, will guide you while listening to your individual needs.

For divers aiming for Manza

Whether your travel purpose is diving or you’re a diver who wants to challenge yourself in Manza, our owner, with 20 years of experience as a Manza guide, can meet your needs for diving at Manza’s top geological point, “Manza Dream Hole,” or for “diving specifically tailored to macro/photography needs.” Please feel free to contact us.

Manza Dreamhole

We will guide you to Manza Dream Hole, one of Manza’s premier diving spots. This unique diving style involves descending through a hole at the top of the reef and entering the interior of the topography, a rare experience even on Okinawa Island.

This L-shaped dive site boasts a beautiful contrast between darkness and blue.

This adventurous and exhilarating dive requires smooth descent skills and the use of underwater lights for activities in partially dark areas. Be sure to confirm all details during the briefing before starting. The reason why so many divers are still drawn to this area is likely not only because of the unique topography, but also because of the abundance of fish in the surrounding area and the impressive number of fish in the drop-off.

＊We typically use 10L steel tanks suitable for Japanese users, but 12L/14L steel tanks are also available for larger individuals at an additional cost. Please inquire for details.

The selection will be made after a check during your first dive. The guide will determine whether entry is possible after reviewing your skills and the sea conditions, and may decide against it. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Essential items

*Underwater Lights

There are completely dark areas within the underwater terrain. For safety reasons, Livefish requires each participant to carry an underwater light during tours.

High-intensity lights are available for rent at 1,650JP¥ per day. These lights illuminate the entire underwater terrain and marine life, ensuring a safe and enjoyable dive.

Macro & Photo diving

Manza has long been an area rich in macro life, making it a popular destination not only for macro watchers but also for photographers and videographers. Our photography service caters to these needs, guiding divers to the vibrant colors, diverse marine life, and endemic Okinawan fish that they desire.

This style is one of our guides’ specialties, so we highly recommend it.You can see daily updates on marine life on Instagram at yamaguchi.naohisa. Please check it out if you’re interested.
