Get used to swimming using a mask, snorkel and fins!You'll get plenty of practice so that you can swim around smoothly on the surface of the water with your fins. The extra buoyancy and warmth from the wetsuit helps too! When you're feeling confident in the water, we'll move on to the next stage.
Even complete beginners can learn safely in the shallow waters.Your PADI instructor will check your equipment alongside you.

When you're underwater it can be a little hard to communicate, so enjoy soaking in onsen and finally getting to chat with your friends about the day's dive. Take the time to enjoy the scenery and reflect on your diving experiences.
Program participants are free to enjoy all the on-site facilities, including air conditioned rooms.The outdoor onsen is specially for divers, so take a dip while wearing your swimsuit or wetsuit.
