Other special notes:

• Skin diving (freediving) courses are available for an additional 2,000 yen. *As a general rule, please request this by the day before the tour. *Even if you submit a doctor's certificate, we may refuse your participation. We sometimes receive inquiries asking, "Can I participate if I have a doctor's certificate?" To put it simply, there are certain medical conditions that will prevent you from participating, even with a doctor's certificate. The following people are included: ・Those with asthma or who have had an asthma attack within the past 5 years ・Those with diabetes requiring insulin treatment ・Those aged 55 or older with heart disease (angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.) or who have had a history of heart disease ・Those aged 55 or older who have had a cerebrovascular disease such as a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage This does not negate the doctor's judgment. However, many doctors who issue these certificates do not actually understand the unique sea conditions of Yaebise or the risks of our tours. Yaebise is very different from typical snorkeling from the beach. Because it takes place offshore, the natural environment, such as strong currents, waves, and wind, is constantly changing. In the unlikely event of a sudden change in your condition, we are not in an environment where you can be transported to a hospital in minutes. In fact, there have been reports of accidents where people who were healthy before the tour started developed swimming-induced pulmonary edema and lost their lives, and cases where what was thought to be a mild asthma attack triggered inhalation of seawater, leading to death. A medical certificate is one factor in determining whether you "may be permitted to exercise" from a medical standpoint, but it does not guarantee that the activity can be carried out safely in that area. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, the responsibility will fall not on the doctor who wrote the certificate, but on us, the guides who actually conducted the tour. That is why we do not make decisions based solely on the presence or absence of a medical certificate. We prioritize the safety of all participants, and the final decision on whether or not you can participate is made by a guide who is intimately familiar with the area. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
