Skin diving tours allow you to enjoy encounters with beautiful coral reefs, sea turtles, and colorful tropical fish while swimming more freely underwater than snorkeling. Skin diving, in which you do not use diving equipment but only your own breath, allows you to feel the ocean in a more natural way.
Tour Features
Tours are available for all levels, from beginners to experienced divers. First-timers start by practicing in shallow water while learning basic diving techniques, fin work, and ear removal. Tours for experienced divers can take you to deeper dives or to thrilling dive sites that take advantage of the terrain.
Miyako Island has many spots suitable for skin diving, and “Nakanoshima” offers beautiful corals, abundant fish, and an underwater tunnel for experienced divers. The “Blue Cave” is another attraction where you can enjoy diving while being surrounded by fantastic light.
Tours are conducted in small groups, and guides provide careful support to ensure safety and enjoyment. Some courses take you to points with a high encounter rate with sea turtles, allowing you to enjoy the precious experience of swimming with turtles in a relaxed atmosphere.
Tour Flow
After meeting, you will first learn the basics of skin diving on land. After that, we will move from the beach to the snorkeling spot for warming up. Once you are comfortable in the water, you will start skin diving under the guidance of a guide. Depending on the dive site, you will be able to enjoy diving through coral reefs and underwater terrain.
The tour time is 2 hours, and the duration of each dive depends on the skills of the individual. After the tour, you can get feedback from the guide and advice on how to further improve your skills.
What to bring/equipment
Swimsuits and rash guards are recommended, and renting a wetsuit to protect against sunburn and jellyfish is also recommended. Masks, snorkels, and fins can be rented free of charge, but if you are picky, bring your own for a more comfortable dive. Long fins such as Leader fins can also be rented free of charge.
Our skin diving tour is a program that allows you to enjoy the beautiful underwater world in the clear water while swimming freely. Beginners can participate with confidence, while experienced divers can further improve their skills. This is a rare opportunity to encounter sea turtles and enjoy coral reefs up close, so be sure to try it when you visit Miyakojima.
