JiC Kumejima

At JiC Kumejima, the guiding motto is "Creating a store that suits you" — a promise to meet each diver's needs and shape a great time both in and out of the water. Based in Okinawa, Japan, this welcoming PADI Resort is happy to field any request or question, whether it's about diving itself or restaurants, tourist spots, and what to do after a dive or on a rainy day.

Courses, diving and marine life

With three PADI Instructors on staff, the center runs its courses from an onsite classroom and heads out aboard its own dive boat. The waters around Kumejima are home to sharks, whales, turtles, rays and more, giving divers plenty to look forward to below the surface.

Facilities include free Wi-Fi, a retail shop and parking, with Nitrox and equipment sales among the services offered. Instruction is available in Japanese, making JiC Kumejima a natural fit for divers who want a personal, attentive experience in Okinawa.
