Q&A
Q Can I do it alone? I can't swim.
No problem even if you are alone. Our staff will explain everything carefully and gently.
Diving experience is more like walking underwater than swimming. By using equipment for breathing underwater, you can breathe at all times. Unlike swimming, you do not need to be able to swim.
Q How old do I have to be to try diving?
The acceptable age range in our store is from 18 to 45 years old.
Q What should I bring with me?
Please bring your swimsuit, sandals, and towel.
We will provide everything you need for diving.
Q What is included in the fee?
All costs necessary to do the experience diving are included.
Additional costs that will be required will be transportation to the site.
Q What happens if the diving experience is cancelled?
The experience diving course is more susceptible to sea conditions than other courses.
Therefore, even if other courses can be held, they may be cancelled depending on the sea conditions prior to the dive.
Of course, we will inform you of the cancellation in advance if the forecast has been made prior to the day before the dive, but we may cancel the dive on the day of the dive for safety reasons due to sudden changes in the sea conditions.
If we decide to cancel the tour, no cancellation fee will be charged.
Q What is the difference between experience diving and fun diving?
Experience diving is an underwater experience that anyone can participate in, accompanied by an instructor.
Depths range from 2 to 12 meters. You can enjoy a leisurely swim while watching fish and other marine life. Fun diving is an underwater tour for divers who have taken a license course (C-card acquisition).
