Purchase Notice
●Measures for cold days The average winter temperature in Okinawa is around 20 degrees, and the water temperature in the Kerama Islands never falls below 22 degrees. Therefore, the water temperature is higher than the outside temperature, and there are many days when it is comfortable to be in the water. In addition, we wear 3mm hooded vests (free of charge) under 5mm one-pieces, and on the boat we always try to keep the temperature on the boat at around 25 degrees by using boat coats (free of charge), heated cabins, and engine heat. For lunch, we prepare hot Okinawa soba noodles and oden, and strive to make our customers comfortable. For those who are still cold, we have a secret weapon! Please ask our staff.
