I had a fantastic experience with Gold Scuba Diving in Okinawa. From start to finish, everything was extremely well organized and taken care of, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. Our diving instructor, Ono, was absolutely great, very friendly, professional, patient, and efficient. I always felt safe and well looked after, and he made sure everything was clear and easy throughout the dives. The diving itself was incredible. The water was crystal clear, visibility was amazing, and we were lucky enough to see turtles underwater, which made the experience even more memorable. I really appreciated how smoothly everything was handled, allowing me to simply enjoy the diving without having to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend Gold Scuba Diving to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and enjoyable diving experience in Okinawa. I would happily dive with them again!

I had a fabulous time diving in Kerama National Park with Ayumu from Gold. Very professional, good equipment, friendly staff, snacks and water provided, and we got to jump off the boat during lunch! I highly recommend this dive center.

We did 3 amazing dives around Kerama island. The visibility was phenomenal and the choral reefs were very colorful and we saw a lot of underwater wildlife (e.g. turtles). Our guide Ono made sure to point out anything interesting and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Highly recommended and will def come back.

Tuvimos la suerte de bucear con Gold scuba y lo recomiendo ampliamente. Tuvieron excelente comunicación desde el primer contacto, y facilitaron todo el proceso. La embarcación, los spots de buceo, el dive master y el lunch estuvieron 10/10.

Local Kerama Diving Specialists

We don't offer every type of diving service. We specialize in diving in the Kerama Islands.

Because we focus specifically on the Kerama Islands, our experienced guides know the area's many dive sites well. The boat captain chooses the dive sites based on the weather, wind, and sea conditions on the day, and our guides provide the best possible dive at each site based on the conditions.

As a local dive center specializing in the Kerama Islands, we welcome everyone from newly certified divers to experienced divers.

Free Underwater Photos & Videos

We take underwater photos and videos during your dives and provide them to you free of charge. Take home your own memories of diving in the beautiful Kerama Islands.


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.
