rab your fins and get ready for some fun! On July 28, Tours+ is heading out to the Kerama Islands on a snorkeling adventure. Just 20 miles southeast of Okinawa and visible with the naked eye from Naha Port, these islands feature one of the best dive sites in the world. While snorkeling in the Keramas is spectacular, diving there is even better! Tsunami SCUBA’s open water certification course can take you from newbie to certified diver in only one week. Beginning in the classroom, your dive instructor will review everything you need to know to be comfortable in the water, including dive theory, safety and how all that complicatedlooking equipment will keep you breathing underwater.
