Kai・la's Okinawa Blue Cave introductory diving is held on a fully private basis, so you will never be grouped with other guests — it is a private tour just for your family or your group of friends.

Our experienced staff will support you kindly and carefully every step of the way, which makes this our most recommended course even for first-timers and people who can't swim.

Great for first-timers, too!

The plan is designed so that people who can't swim can join with total peace of mind. In fact, the less confident you are in the water, the more overwhelming the moment you first touch the underwater world will be. At the Blue Cave, Okinawa's most popular spot, enjoy an experience you can have nowhere else.
