BIGHOLIDAY

BIGHOLIDAY is a dive center based in Okinawa, Japan, specialising in the dramatic underwater topography and cave systems of Miyakojima. Its guides are experts in the island's unique terrain — from the intricate arches of "Antonio Gaudi" to the mystical depths of "Tori-ike" — and know exactly when and where the light creates its most magical effects, making it a natural fit for divers chasing breathtaking scenery and photo opportunities.

Courses and what to expect

A PADI Resort with four PADI instructors, BIGHOLIDAY offers four courses and activities, including full-day dive trips over one, two, and three days, with options for full rental equipment or none at all. Scuba equipment rental and PADI Scuba Diving are available, and the team speaks both English and Japanese. Divers explore aboard the custom-built boat "BRENNDS2", designed for comfort with individual seating, dedicated gear storage, and two clean marine restrooms.

Led by Totty, one of Japan's most renowned diving YouTubers, alongside bilingual professionals, the centre suits experienced divers — a minimum of 30 logged dives is generally required to ensure the buoyancy control needed for overhead cave environments.
