Overall, I was very satisfied. It was my first scuba diving on Yakushima. I'm very grateful to you for giving me such a kind and careful explanation and lecture. It was incremental, so at the beginning, it was anxiety. There was, but I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The number of participants was also in the middle of GW, but a small number of people did not feel comfortable around I think it was easy to enjoy. Another person didn't seem to be able to encounter the sea turtle in the morning on the day In our own time, we were very happy to happen to encounter them. And finally, this is something I felt personally. I thought the guide looked more like Hollywood pomegranate. And when I gave my first explanation, he gave me a lecture that seemed exaggerated. That was the point where I felt that it was similar. I thought it might be interesting if you could make a black Western hat and T-shirt your trademark.

初心者にも易しく、丁寧に教えてくださいます
ダイビング初体験でしたが、事前の説明が丁寧で安心して体験に臨むことができました。僕以外はダイビング経験者でしたが、初めて聞く知識もあって勉強になったと言っていました。体験中にたくさんの写真を撮っていただき、思い出に残すことができました。体験後はシャワーも貸していただき、後始末も簡単に済ませることができました。おすすめです。
