Even if you are not a strong swimmer, our experienced instructors will support you every step of the way, so you can relax and enjoy it
Choose the certification course that suits you
At Kai・la you can choose between two certification courses: PADI and STARS/CMAS. Both are open water certifications, but the STARS/CMAS course can be completed in a single day, and it has become the more popular choice in recent years!

GoPro photo shoot!
Our dedicated staff take underwater photos with a high-performance GoPro action camera and give them to you as a gift. You can check them on your phone that evening.
Fully private tours!
You are never grouped with other guests on this course, so first-timers and non-swimmers can join with complete peace of mind.
Absolutely worry-free!
The listed price covers everything, so there are no surprises, and we never push any extras on you. All you need to bring is a towel and a swimsuit.
A lifelong memory on a card…
Your Okinawa trip lives on in your certification card, and our guests love having a keepsake like that!
Pass guarantee
If your certification course is interrupted by a typhoon or another natural event, we will complete the remaining program free of charge any time within one year.
