560代Month of posting: 2024/07Scuba diving has been my dream for many years. I had given up diving because I was already 65 years old. However, I found Miyakojima Tours in the Okinawa area that allowed me to dive until I was 80 years old. The full face mask allowed me to breathe normally and my ears would twitch when I dove a little, but they quickly recovered after swallowing a spit. The sea was beyond my imagination and I felt like I was in the Dragon's Palace. There were so many fish swimming around, and Nemo (clownfish) was the cutest. The instructor said the conditions were 60%, but for me it was more than 100%. I would like to dive again if I have a chance.

560代Submitted Month: 2024/05This was my first time scuba diving. I was worried about whether I would be able to dive well, but the staff always checked with the OK sign, and I was able to dive with peace of mind. It was just like swimming in an aquarium tank, and I had no idea there were so many different kinds of fish. (I saw three different species of bear clams). I was later sent photos and videos to remind me of the diving. Thank you very much for your help.
