PAPALAGI DIVING SCHOOL NAHA

Papalagi Diving School Naha brings the Papalagi group's dive culture to the heart of Okinawa, Japan. As a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort, this is a place built for learning — with courses running from complete beginner all the way through to professional and instructor level, and flexible scheduling to fit them around your own pace. A popular route to your first certification pairs eLearning you can complete anywhere with two days of hands-on training on the water.

Set up for easy Okinawa diving

The Naha shop sits close to the airport and Kokusai-dori, with easy access from the Yui Rail monorail — ideal if you'd like to enjoy Okinawa's food and sightseeing once your session in the water is done. Two PADI Instructors guide the diving, and lessons are offered in Japanese.

On-site you'll find air conditioning and a retail shop, with equipment sales and a full range of scuba rental gear: open-heel fins, mask and snorkel, 5mm wetsuit, boots, BCD, gauges, compass, camera, and aluminium, steel and small cylinders. It's a welcoming base for divers who want to keep the fun going long after their debut.
