X-Trip

X-Trip is a PADI dive centre based in Onna, on Japan's Okinawa coast. It's a straightforward operation with a clear focus: PADI scuba diving, delivered as a recognised PADI Resort.

What to expect

As a PADI Resort, X-Trip works to the standards divers already know, which makes it an easy fit whether you're arriving with a certification card in hand or looking to take your first course. Onna sits on the coast, and the centre operates out of Nago, at 247-1 Yamanoha.

Details on the marine life you might encounter aren't available at this time, and opening hours aren't currently listed either — worth checking directly if you're planning around specific days. The team can be reached by phone on +81 980-51-8888, by email at x-trip@x-trip.jp, or through their website at http://www.x-trip.jp/.

It suits divers who want an established PADI-affiliated base in Okinawa without a lot of fuss, and travellers happy to confirm the finer points ahead of arrival.
