 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ono, la nostra guida, è stato splendido. Molto attento, premuroso e di compagnia! La gita dura tutta la giornata e permette di fare 3 immersioni in luoghi molto diversi tra loro. Un'esperienza assolutamente da fare per chi ama lo scuba diving e resta piú di due giorni a Naha. Inoltre vi sono il pick up all'andata e al ritorno, super confortevole, e l'attrezzatura è veramente di qualità!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We dove with Gold Scuba Diving and had an amazing experience! I have dove in many places in the world but the customer service doesn’t come close to gold scuba. Ayumu Ono was our Divemaster and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable and very helpful with fitting you for gear and helping you get set up. The gear was also very good quality which was awesome! We would definitely recommend diving through this dive shop while you are in Okinawa!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience with Ono-san! I did three dives in one day and had a great time. Unfortunately did not spot any turtles but did see an eel and a reef shark! Lots of fish and coral as well. Ono-san was very friendly and helpful. A few of us hadn't dived in a while and Ono-san showed us how to put our gear together and gave detailed explanations of how the dive would go which was very reassuring. I was picked up and dropped off at my hotel which was lovely and when I forgot my phone in the back of the car, Ono-san swiftly brought it back! 😀 Thank you!

We always put the safety of our guests first. We never take unnecessary risks and always aim to provide diving that is both safe and enjoyable.

High-Quality Rental Equipment

Our rental equipment consists of high-quality diving gear from reliable, well-known manufacturers. Even though it is rental equipment, we use the same quality gear that regular divers use.

For masks, we use single-lens masks with a wide field of view. For fins, we use full-foot fins that provide strong propulsion. There can be currents around the Kerama Islands, so using fins with good propulsion allows you to dive more comfortably.

Our BCDs and regulators are also well-maintained and regularly serviced.

FAQ

Can I pay by credit card?: Yes, we accept credit card payments.

Is there a cancellation fee?

Yes. Cancellation fees apply to guest cancellations made one day before or on the day of the dive.

Please see our detailed cancellation policy for more information.

When do I pay for the diving?

For a one-day diving trip, payment is normally made after the dive.

For bookings of two or more days, or for guests who meet us directly at the meeting point instead of using our hotel transfer, we require a ¥10,000 deposit per day of diving in advance. The remaining balance is paid after the dive.

Do you offer hotel pickup?: Yes. We provide pickup and drop-off at hotels in Naha.

Is rental equipment included?: Yes. Standard rental equipment is included in the diving price.

What happens if it rains or the weather is bad?

Rain does not usually affect diving, so we can still go diving even when it is raining. In general, diving will only be canceled if strong winds or severe sea conditions make it unsafe.

If the sea conditions are too rough, such as during a typhoon, the boat may be canceled and the diving trip will be canceled as well.
