It was my first time parasailing, but the instructor was very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I get motion sickness quite easily, so I recommend taking some motion sickness medicine beforehand!
They also took lots of photos, which was great! They also provided a variety of other services, so I had a lot of fun!

Over two days, we did three dives in each of the Kerama and Chibishi Islands! ❗️It was the most fun diving ever!❗️
Both days were guided one-on-one, so I was able to practice free diving perfectly. They also took me to a drop-off I'd never been to before and drift diving in a strong current!❗️The Okinawa soba we had on the boat was absolutely delicious!❗️
Thank you so much!

[Not recommended for first-time divers.]
I don't recommend trial diving.
I was put on the same boat as people who were just enjoying fun divers or above, and even though it was my first time diving, the waves were strong and there was little explanation or practice, so it was scary.
Honestly, it was traumatic.
For first-time divers, I recommend a place that will teach you carefully and take you to a place with calmer waves.

I was impressed by the personality of the staff and the president. I am very happy to be able to dive here.

I recently accompanied a friend on an advanced dive, and had the opportunity to do some fun diving with Coco Ocean.
I'm still a beginner at diving, so I was a little nervous, but Coco Ocean communicated in a very homely manner and gave me solid instruction, so I was able to dive with peace of mind.
They also had a very nice boat, so I had a comfortable trip.
This time, I was able to see giant trevally, a turtle, and two manta rays for the first time, which was a lot of fun!
I've heard that they mainly dive in Kerama, so I'd definitely like to use Coco Ocean again next time.

口脇さんの対応が残念に感じました。

I was disappointed with Mr. Kuchiwaki's response.
(Translated by Google)
I was really hesitant about posting such a low review, but I thought I'd post it to avoid any unpleasant experiences for those who choose other shops using Google Maps, and to let you know that this happened.
I had no knowledge of diving in Okinawa, so the only way I could find information was through Google Maps reviews. I chose this fun dive because it had high ratings.
It turned out to be awful.
Looking at the reviews on this site, it's still highly rated, so maybe the instructor I happened to get was just awful.
However, the person who seems to be the owner of the place seemed kind and friendly.
However, I don't know if he's employed or temporary, but if you do get that instructor, he's seriously unbelievably bad.
The instructor was always sulky, and at the beginning he explained a lot of what we were going to do, but there was a moment of silence for almost a minute, so I thought he'd finished explaining and headed back to my seat, when suddenly, he loudly yelled
"I'm not done explaining yet. Don't leave without permission."
What the hell is wrong with this guy! But that thought only lasted a moment. After we set up all our equipment and were about to enter the water from the boat, he just yelled, "Forward, forward, forward."
If I went any further, I'd reach the ocean, what should I do?
Confused, I assumed he meant to tell me to just get in the water, so I went in.
When I finished diving and surfaced to head toward the boat, he yelled, "Here! Here!"
pointing to his shoulder!
What did he mean by "here"?! I was left dumbfounded, thinking that this person was definitely Japanese, when he yelled, "First stage!"
again, almost in a yelling voice.
Basically, he was telling me to grab his (the instructor's) first stage before coming up.
I'm not a beginner, but I imagine some beginners might not even know what "first" means.
Then the rubber bands holding together the rental mask and gloves went missing. I was sure I had them on, but for some reason they were missing, so I said, "I'm sorry. I was sure I had them on, but for some reason the rubber bands are gone," and he said, "We'd better keep them in good condition," and started yelling at me again.
I remembered wearing them, so I thought maybe another customer had accidentally removed them, or maybe I had lost them, but even if that was the case, the way he said it was just unacceptable.
I really don't understand what he meant.
I should have said that when I first went in the water, but I was also there as a holiday and didn't want to ruin the trip, so I held back. But did he think it was okay to say anything to this guy and act that way?
I was angry and had a very unpleasant experience afterwards, so I should have spoken up.
If it were me now, I would definitely complain to the instructor and ask the management to change him.
Looking at the reviews here, it seems like this isn't the case, so he might have just been a temporary instructor.
However, it was so traumatic that it completely wiped away all the other fun memories I had of Okinawa.
There was another group that ended up with the same instructor, but it seemed like they were just doing a trial dive, so they weren't as exhausted as I was. However, they still looked very annoyed and seemed extremely exhausted after the second dive, refusing to go on a third.
The person who appears to be the shop owner has also replied to me, so I don't really want to say this, but I think there are people like me who choose a shop based solely on reviews, so I wrote this to help prevent them from having the same bad experience I did.
It may be too late now, but I regret that I should have spoken out clearly at the time if I was going to have a bad experience later.
I think the person in charge at the time was either the instructor or the person who appears to be the owner, so it was a 50/50 chance.
More than half of the fun I had in Okinawa was gone.
Why do I have to pay over 20,000 yen and end up feeling bad?
Are instructors really that important?
After that, I went on a fun dive at a different shop, and it was a lot of fun.
By the way, I make it a point to use honorific language even with younger people, and I don't think that customers should act superior to shop staff, and I personally dislike people who do.
Furthermore, I would like to say that I'm not a beginner scuba diver who doesn't understand why he's been warned about dangerous activities and is blaming the instructor; I'm not a beginner myself; I hold an advanced licence with over 100 dives.
Furthermore, I also use Tabelog, and currently have over 1,100 restaurants and 2,300 followers (I'll provide the URL to anyone who requests it). Most restaurants are rated 3 stars or above, and I've only given about two restaurants a 1 star. I'm not bragging about this, and I'm not what they call a complainer.
I'd also like to add that, as the shop has a lot of posts and no other critical posts, I hope that this was just a coincidence and not a staged one.

I've snorkeled before, but this was my first dive, so I was a little nervous. However, the instructor was very reliable and I was able to relax and enjoy the dive. ✨

I'm really glad I had my first experience here, and I'd definitely like to come again if I come to Naha. 🙏
The underwater photos they took were amazing. 💓

Thank you for the valuable experience today!
Three of us participated.
Since it had been a while since our last FUN dive, the first one was a bit of a struggle, but we received some accurate advice and were able to get our groove back.
And, "Since you were able to do the first one, the second one will be much easier."
I feel like these words really lifted everyone's spirits.
We hope to see you again when you visit Okinawa!

It was my first solo trip to Okinawa, and my first time scuba diving. I'm not very good at swimming, so I gave it a try with some anxiety.
The instructor's explanations of how to breathe and the signs were all thorough and easy to understand.
Now it's time to practice on the surface.
I was nervous and scared and thought I wouldn't do it, but with the instructor's patient encouragement, I gradually got better, and he adjusted to my slow movements and guided me to the highlights, making for a very enjoyable dive.
If I ever go to Okinawa, I'd like to use your services again. Thank you very much.

Three parents and two children participated in an introductory dive in Kerama.
We had planned to do one dive and two snorkels, but the diving was so great that we changed it to three. We were able to see sea turtles and giant trevally, and we took lots of photos with our children, which we emailed to us.
As for safety, the staff held our two children's hands the whole time, which made us feel at ease.

It was my first fun dive in 21 years. Thank you very much. I chose this option because it was a small group and they carefully understood that I would be diving from memory.
I was a bit worried about the exit, especially whether I could achieve neutral buoyancy, but I couldn't. The guide checked me carefully.
He gave me strong yet precise instructions at times, which made me feel at ease. While diving is fun, I believe it's a sport where nothing should ever happen, so I was grateful for this opportunity.
And I think the price was reasonable... although I shouldn't stress this point.
(Translated by Google)
Although I have a license, I hadn't dived in over 10 years, so I was a bit nervous about fun diving. I had mentioned this when I applied, but when I explained my abilities, they quickly and patiently taught me how to clear my mask and breathe properly on the surface. Once I gradually regained my senses, I was able to dive. They were sometimes strict, but that's just how it is in a sport where your life depends on it. I was able to learn seriously. I also really appreciated how the other instructors used their humor to ease my tension. The boat was very clean and new, and with a main and upper deck, it was great that I was able to spend time at a comfortable distance from the tour participants and staff.
I participated in three dives over two days. The pickup time was punctual, and the optional lunches were also carefully planned, with different menus. We were taken to a different spot each time, and at the end we even had the invaluable experience of drift diving♪ I was full of anxiety and tension at first, but by the second half I was able to relax underwater like a fish and enjoy myself to the fullest♪
Coco Ocean assigned participants to different levels, and when I heard about the spots where advanced divers were diving, it was incredible and inspiring.
As Mr. Kuchiwaki and President Kobayashi advised, I would like to continue diving without gaps between dives.
I am truly grateful to Coco Ocean for giving me the confidence and encouragement I needed to try diving overseas instead of snorkeling!

오키나와 바다 .... 정말 너무 맑고 깨끗하고 예쁩니다 ㅠㅠ
지금까지 발리랑 필리핀에서만 다이빙 했었는데 와 진짜 이런 바다가 있나 싶더라구요.
오키나와 뿐만이 아니라 이시가키섬을 비롯한 모든 다양한 섬들을 다 다녀보고 싶을 정도입니다.
고바야시상, 4일동안 좋은 추억 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사해요 :) (Translated by Google) I had my first dive in Okinawa with Coco Ocean, and I was so, so satisfied! It was my first time diving in Japan, so I was a little worried, but the company took such great care of me, so I was able to finish the four days safely and enjoyably.
Okinawa's ocean... is so clear, clean, and beautiful. ㅠㅠ
I've only dived in Bali and the Philippines so far, but I was amazed at how such an ocean exists.
I want to visit not only Okinawa, but all the other islands, including Ishigaki Island.
Mr. Kobayashi, thank you so much for giving me such wonderful memories over the past four days :)

갑자스러운 예약임에도 불구하고 친절하게 맞아 주셨습니다.
오랜만의 다이빙이였지만 문제가 생길때마다 해결책을 제시해주셨고 아주 효과적이였습니다!! 선상에서 먹은 소바도 아주 훌륭했고요. 포인트에 대한 일가견이 있는지 다른곳에서는 못보던 생물들도 많이 보고 왔습니다.
다음에는 시즌을 잘 맞춰서 또 가 보고 싶어지네요~ (Translated by Google) Despite the sudden reservation, they welcomed me warmly.
It had been a while since I'd dived, but they offered solutions whenever problems arose, and they were incredibly helpful!! The soba I had on board was also excellent. They seemed to have a unique insight into the spots, and we saw many creatures we hadn't seen anywhere else.
I'd love to go back again next time, if the season is right!

I had a great three-day diving experience with Coco Ocean in Kerama. Kobayashi-san is a great dive master, providing helpful dive plans and ensuring a safe and comfortable dive. He also took some excellent photos and sent them to us afterward.
After diving, I enjoyed a meal with fellow divers at an izakaya in Naha, which was a nice way to end the trip. I’d be happy to dive in Kerama again and recommend this shop to others.

This was my first time participating.
It was my first experience diving since last summer, so I was a little nervous, but Mr. Kuchiwaki gently escorted me and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
I did some research and found out that it was the season to see the Japanese lanternfish, so I was really impressed to see three of them! !
They were all-inclusive, from preparation to cleaning up.
Thank you so much, Mr. Kuchiwaki and Mr. Wada, for this experience.
I hope to use your service again when I come to Okinawa!

I tried it because it said they would take free underwater photos and give them as gifts, but in reality, they didn't take a single photo of us, and just sent us 5 or 6 random photos.
There was no apology or discount.
I should have gone somewhere that took good photos even if it was a little more expensive.
The other reviews were all 5 stars, so I'm honestly suspicious.

This was my first time diving in Naha. I saw cute sea turtles and squid and made some wonderful memories. Thank you.

やまヒロ
こう言う低評価は投稿すべきか非常に迷いますが他のgoogle mapでショップを選んでいる方のために嫌な思いをしてもらわないためと、こう言うこともあったという事実を申し訳ないですが投稿させていただきます。
沖縄のダイビングに、知識がなかったのでgoogle mapの評価でしか調べようがなかったので評価が高いのでと思い、ここのファンダイビングを、選びました。
結果最低でした。
ここの評価を見るといまだに評価が高いのでたまたま当たったインストラクターがヤバかったのかも知れません。
ただ、ここの経営者と思われる人は、優しく親切な感じの人でした。
しかし雇われなのか臨時なのかわからないが、そのインストラクターに当たったらマジ有り得ない程ヤバイ。
そのインストラクターは常にムスッとしていて、最初にこれからすることについて、いろいろ説明してきたのだが、なんだか中途半端な状態で1分近く沈黙したので、もう説明が終わったんだと思い席に戻ろうとすると、急に大声で
「まだ説明終わってないでしょう。勝手に離れないで。」
って⁉︎なんだこの人は！って思ったのも束の間、全て機材をセットして、ボートから海に入る際に
「前、前、前」
と怒鳴るようにしか言わない。
これ以上前に進んだら、海なんだがどうすれば？
とりあえず海に入れ、という意味だと思い困惑しながら入りました。
ダイビングを終え浮上してボートに向かう時
「ここ！ここ！」
って自分の肩を指しながら、また怒鳴るように⁉︎
「ここ」って何⁉︎この人見るからに間違いなく日本人だよねって思って訳わからずにポカンとしていると
「ファーストステージ！」
ってまた怒鳴るように言ってきた。
要するに自分（インストラクター）のファーストステージを掴んでから上がれと。
自分は初心者ではないが、初心者だったらファーストの意味さえわからない人もいるのでは。
そしてレンタルのマスクと手袋をまとめていたゴムバンドが無くなったが、自分的には間違いなくゴムバンド付けていたはずだったが何故か無くなっていたので「すみません。付けたはずだけど何故かゴムバンドが無くなってしまって」と言ったら「ちゃんと管理してもらわないと困る」と、また怒鳴るように。
自分的には付けた記憶があったので他のお客さんが間違って外したのかもと思いましたが、もしかしたら自分が無くしたのかも知れないが、万一そうだったとしても、その言い方はマジあり得ない。
マジ意味がわからない。
自分も最初の海に入る時にそういう言い方は無いのではないのと言えば良かったが、旅行もかねて来たので旅の気分を悪くしたくなかったので我慢したが、それでこいつには何言っても大丈夫と思ってそういう態度をとってきたんだろうか？
後々腹が立ってとても嫌な思いをしたのではっきり言うべきだった。
今だったら間違いなくそのインストラクターに文句を言ってと経営者にこのインストラクター変えてくれって言ったと思う。
ここの評価見ていると、そのようなことがないようなので、たまたま臨時で来たインストラクターだったのかも知れません。
でも、沖縄の他の楽しい思いが吹っ飛ぶほどのトラウマレベルでした。
このインストラクターと一緒になった人ももう一組いましたがその人は体験ダイビングだったみたいで自分程やられませんでしたが、それでもかなり嫌な顔をしていて、メチャクチャ疲れ切っていた感じで２ダイブをした時点で３ダイブ目は断っていました。
このショップ経営者と思われる人は返信もしているので、あまりこう言ったことは書きたくありませんが、自分のように評価のみで店を選ぶ方もいると思われるので、自分と同じように嫌な思いをしないようにと思って書きました。
今更かも知れませんが、後から嫌な思いをするならその時はっきり言うべきだったと逆に反省しています。
当時引率の人はそのインストラクターと経営者と思われる人と、どっちかだったと思うので２分の１の確率です。
沖縄での楽しい気分も半分以上すっ飛び。
何故２万数千円払って嫌な気分にならなければならないんでしょうか。
インストラクターの方ってそんなに偉いんですか？
その後、別なショップでファンダイビングに、行きましたが、とても楽しかったてす。
ちなみに、自分は年下にも敬語を使うようにしていて、客だからと言ってお店の方に偉そうな態度を取ることはないと思うし、そう言う態度を取る人は大嫌いな性格です。
更にダイビング初心者が危険なことを注意されて訳のわからず、インストラクターのせいにしているのではないという意味で申し上げますが自分は初心者ではなく１００ダイブ以上の上級ライセンス所持者です。
更に更に自分は、食べログも付けていて現在1,100店舗以上、フォロワーの方も2,300人以上おり、（URLは希望があれば、どなたにでも開示します。)ほとんどが⭐︎３以上で⭐︎1の評価は確か２店舗くらいしか付けておらず、これについても自慢しているのではなく俗に言うクレマーではないです。
と言うことも付け加えておきます。
投稿数も多く他に批判的な投稿もないショップなので、やらせではなくたまたまだったと言うことを願います。

I'd also like to add that, as the shop has a lot of posts and no other critical posts, I hope that this was just a coincidence and not a staged one.

ケラマでファンダイビングを3本しました。初めてドリフトダイビングもしましたが、安心して潜ることができました！
写真もたくさん共有してくれたのがよかったです。
ありがとうございました！

I did three fun dives in Kerama. I also tried drift diving for the first time, but I was able to dive with confidence!
I was glad that you shared so many photos with me.
Thank you!

友人に誘われて参加しました！
シュノーケルは過去経験があるものの、ダイビングは初めてだったため正直少し不安でしたが、インストラクターの方が頼もしい方でリラックスしてダイビングできました✨
他のインストラクターの方も共通して初心者に対して気持ちに寄り添ってくれる印象です☘️
初めてがこちらで本当に良かったですし、また那覇に来ることがあれば利用したいです🙏
撮ってくれた水中写真もめっちゃ素敵でした💓

A friend invited me to join!
I've snorkeled before, but this was my first dive, so I was a little nervous. However, the instructor was very reliable and I was able to relax and enjoy the dive. ✨
The other instructors were also very considerate of beginners. ☘️
I'm really glad I had my first experience here, and I'd definitely like to come again if I come to Naha. 🙏
The underwater photos they took were amazing. 💓

本日は貴重な体験をありがとうございました！
3人で参加させてもらいました。
久しぶりのFUNダイブということもあり、1本目はジタバタし苦しいダイブになりましたが、的確なアドバイスをいただき感覚を取り戻すことができました。
そして｢1本目潜れてるから2本目はもっと楽に潜れる｣
この言葉に全員の気持ちが高まったように感じます。
また沖縄に行く際にはよろしくお願いします！

Thank you for the valuable experience today!
Three of us participated.
Since it had been a while since our last FUN dive, the first one was a bit of a struggle, but we received some accurate advice and were able to get our groove back.
And, "Since you were able to do the first one, the second one will be much easier."
I feel like these words really lifted everyone's spirits.
We hope to see you again when you visit Okinawa!

初沖縄一人旅、初めてのスキューバダイビング。泳ぎは苦手で不安の中で挑戦しました。
担当の方の息の仕方、サインの説明どれも丁寧でわかり易かったです。
いざ、水面での練習。
緊張と恐怖でこれはダメだと思ってましたが、根気よく担当の方の声掛けに少しづつできるようになり私のゆっくりな動きにも合わせてくださったり、見どころに誘導してくださりと大変楽しくダイビングができました。
沖縄に行くことが出来たらまたお世話になりたいと思います。本当にありがとうございました。

It was my first solo trip to Okinawa, and my first time scuba diving. I'm not very good at swimming, so I gave it a try with some anxiety.
The instructor's explanations of how to breathe and the signs were all thorough and easy to understand.
Now it's time to practice on the surface.
I was nervous and scared and thought I wouldn't do it, but with the instructor's patient encouragement, I gradually got better, and he adjusted to my slow movements and guided me to the highlights, making for a very enjoyable dive.
If I ever go to Okinawa, I'd like to use your services again. Thank you very much.

親子3人で慶良間の体験ダイビングに参加しました。
1ダイビング2シュノーケルの予定でしたが、ダイビングが素晴らしく3ダイビングに変更して、ウミガメやロウニンアジも見ることができ、子供との写真も沢山撮ってメールでいただけました。
安全面もスタッフさんが子供２人の手をずっと握ってくれて安心でした。

Three parents and two children participated in an introductory dive in Kerama.
We had planned to do one dive and two snorkels, but the diving was so great that we changed it to three. We were able to see sea turtles and giant trevally, and we took lots of photos with our children, which we emailed to us.
As for safety, the staff held our two children's hands the whole time, which made us feel at ease.

21年ぶりのファンダイビング。ありがとうございました。小人数制で、思い出しながらのダイビングになる事をじっくり理解して頂いて、とこちらを選びました。
エギジットの方が不安があり、特に中性浮力が取れるかだったのですが、やっぱり取れなかった。しっかりガイドさんはチェックしてくれていました。
時には強くそして的確に指示をしてくれて安心しました。ダイビングは楽しい一方、万が一があってはならないスポーツだと思っていますので、今回はありがたかった。
そして、料金は安いと思います・・・。これは強調すべきところではないのですが。
(Translated by Google)
It was my first fun dive in 21 years. Thank you very much. I chose this option because it was a small group and they carefully understood that I would be diving from memory.
I was a bit worried about the exit, especially whether I could achieve neutral buoyancy, but I couldn't. The guide checked me carefully.
He gave me strong yet precise instructions at times, which made me feel at ease. While diving is fun, I believe it's a sport where nothing should ever happen, so I was grateful for this opportunity.
And I think the price was reasonable... although I shouldn't stress this point.

ライセンスは持っているものの10年以上のブランクがあり、FUNダイビングに不安があった私。申込時にその旨を伝えていましたが、改めて自分の力量を伝えると、急遽、マスククリアや呼吸方法など海面上で根気強く指導してくださり、徐々に感覚を取り戻せた段階で潜ることができました。時には厳しい口調の場面もありましたが命を預けるスポーツだからこそのこと。真剣に学ぶことができました。他のインストラクターさんも、ユーモアを交えながら緊張をほぐしてくださる接し方がとても嬉しくもあり、ボートはとても清潔で新しく、メインデッキとアッパーデッキがあるため、ツアー参加者やスタッフさんらと程よい距離感で過ごせたことも良かったです。
3ダイブ×2日間で参加しました。送迎のピックアップ時間は正確で、オプションのランチも別々の内容で拘られていました。毎回異なるスポットに案内していただき、最後にはドリフトダイビングという貴重な体験も♪ 最初は不安と緊張でいっぱいでしたが、後半には魚のようにのんびりと海中を過ごせ、心から楽しめるように♪
ココオーシャンさんは、参加者のレベルに合わせた振り分けをされていて、上級者さんが潜るスポットの内容を聞いていると信じられないような内容で、刺激を受けました。
口脇さんや小林社長がアドバイスされていたように、まずはダイビング期間を空けないようダイビングを続けていきたいと思います。
海外でもシュノーケリングではなく、ダイビングに挑戦したいという気持ちに、さらに自信を持たせて背中を押してくださったココオーシャンさんに、心より感謝いたします！

Although I have a license, I hadn't dived in over 10 years, so I was a bit nervous about fun diving. I had mentioned this when I applied, but when I explained my abilities, they quickly and patiently taught me how to clear my mask and breathe properly on the surface. Once I gradually regained my senses, I was able to dive. They were sometimes strict, but that's just how it is in a sport where your life depends on it. I was able to learn seriously. I also really appreciated how the other instructors used their humor to ease my tension. The boat was very clean and new, and with a main and upper deck, it was great that I was able to spend time at a comfortable distance from the tour participants and staff.
I participated in three dives over two days. The pickup time was punctual, and the optional lunches were also carefully planned, with different menus. We were taken to a different spot each time, and at the end we even had the invaluable experience of drift diving♪ I was full of anxiety and tension at first, but by the second half I was able to relax underwater like a fish and enjoy myself to the fullest♪
Coco Ocean assigned participants to different levels, and when I heard about the spots where advanced divers were diving, it was incredible and inspiring.
As Mr. Kuchiwaki and President Kobayashi advised, I would like to continue diving without gaps between dives.
I am truly grateful to Coco Ocean for giving me the confidence and encouragement I needed to try diving overseas instead of snorkeling!

Thank you for your help with the two-day Kerama diving trip. The drifting was the focus, and there were many highlights, including the topography and fish, so it was a lot of fun. I look forward to working with you again.

They took photos for us, and the photo with the sea turtle was a wonderful keepsake.
The sea in Kerama was also beautiful and amazing!

오키나와에서 처음 하는 다이빙이라 걱정 많이 했었는데 3일동안 너무 즐거웠습니다
제가 일본어를 몰라서 조금 힘들었지만 휴대폰으로 소통을 하여 문제는 없었습니다
그리고 오늘 가이드 해주신 여자강사님 너무 친절하시고 감사합니다 (Translated by Google) This was my first time diving in Okinawa, so I was a bit worried, but the three days were incredibly enjoyable. It was a bit challenging because I don't speak Japanese, but we communicated via cell phone, so there were no problems. And the female instructor who guided us today was incredibly kind, and I'm so grateful.

오키나와에서의 첫 다이빙을 코코오션과 함께 했는데 진짜 너무 너무 만족스러웠습니다! 일본에서 다이빙은 처음이라 살짝 걱정했었는데 업체측에서 너무 잘 챙겨주셔서 4일동안 안전하고 즐겁게 잘 마무리 할 수 있었어요.
오키나와 바다 .... 정말 너무 맑고 깨끗하고 예쁩니다 ㅠㅠ
지금까지 발리랑 필리핀에서만 다이빙 했었는데 와 진짜 이런 바다가 있나 싶더라구요.
오키나와 뿐만이 아니라 이시가키섬을 비롯한 모든 다양한 섬들을 다 다녀보고 싶을 정도입니다.
고바야시상, 4일동안 좋은 추억 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사해요 :) (Translated by Google) I had my first dive in Okinawa with Coco Ocean, and I was so, so satisfied! It was my first time diving in Japan, so I was a little worried, but the company took such great care of me, so I was able to finish the four days safely and enjoyably.
Okinawa's ocean... is so clear, clean, and beautiful. ㅠㅠ
I've only dived in Bali and the Philippines so far, but I was amazed at how such an ocean exists.
I want to visit not only Okinawa, but all the other islands, including Ishigaki Island.
Mr. Kobayashi, thank you so much for giving me such wonderful memories over the past four days :)

We bought a brand new cruiser in April 2012. 👍 The restrooms were spacious and everything was sparkling clean. ✨✨✨
We had a relaxing diving tour to Kerama.
The guides were small, so it was a safe and secure Coco Ocean experience. 🛥️
Thank you very much. 👌

갑자스러운 예약임에도 불구하고 친절하게 맞아 주셨습니다.
오랜만의 다이빙이였지만 문제가 생길때마다 해결책을 제시해주셨고 아주 효과적이였습니다!! 선상에서 먹은 소바도 아주 훌륭했고요. 포인트에 대한 일가견이 있는지 다른곳에서는 못보던 생물들도 많이 보고 왔습니다.
다음에는 시즌을 잘 맞춰서 또 가 보고 싶어지네요~ (Translated by Google) Despite the sudden reservation, they welcomed me warmly.
It had been a while since I'd dived, but they offered solutions whenever problems arose, and they were incredibly helpful!! The soba I had on board was also excellent. They seemed to have a unique insight into the spots, and we saw many creatures we hadn't seen anywhere else.
I'd love to go back again next time, if the season is right!

I had a great three-day diving experience with Coco Ocean in Kerama. Kobayashi-san is a great dive master, providing helpful dive plans and ensuring a safe and comfortable dive. He also took some excellent photos and sent them to us afterward.
After diving, I enjoyed a meal with fellow divers at an izakaya in Naha, which was a nice way to end the trip. I’d be happy to dive in Kerama again and recommend this shop to others.

【2024/3/15/慶良間体験一日ダイビング】
今回、初めて参加させてもらいました。
去年の夏ぶりの体験ダイビングで少し不安なところもありましたが、口脇さんに優しくエスコートしていただいて安心して楽しむことができました✳︎
下調べしてコブシメが見れる時期とのことで、実際に3匹も見れて感動しました！！
準備から片付けまで至れり尽くせりでした。
口脇さん、和田さん今回は本当にありがとうございました♪
また沖縄に来た時利用よろしくお願いします！

[2024/3/15/Kerama Experience One-Day Diving]
This was my first time participating.
It was my first experience diving since last summer, so I was a little nervous, but Mr. Kuchiwaki gently escorted me and I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.
I did some research and found out that it was the season to see the Japanese lanternfish, so I was really impressed to see three of them! !
They were all-inclusive, from preparation to cleaning up.
Thank you so much, Mr. Kuchiwaki and Mr. Wada, for this experience.
I hope to use your service again when I come to Okinawa!

水中写真も無料で撮影＆プレゼントと記載があったので体験しましたが、実際には、自分たちが写っている写真は1枚も撮って貰えず、
適当な写真5.6枚送られてきただけでした。
特に謝罪も、値引きもありませんでした。
少し高くてもしっかり写真を撮ってくれる所にすれば良かった。
他のクチコミも星5ばかりで正直怪しいです
(Translated by Google)
I tried it because it said they would take free underwater photos and give them as gifts, but in reality, they didn't take a single photo of us, and just sent us 5 or 6 random photos.
There was no apology or discount.
I should have gone somewhere that took good photos even if it was a little more expensive.
The other reviews were all 5 stars, so I'm honestly suspicious.
