Bonz. Okinawa Diving Center

If you want to dive with two people who are extremely passionate, caring and genuine, then Marina and Wataru are your people! I am so grateful that I was able to dive with them on my solo trip to Okinawa. I felt extremely well taken care of and safe, in and out of the water. Marina took time out of her day (a day I wasn’t diving) to send me recommendations for restaurants/sightseeing, and was full of information on Okinawa culture, history etc. You can tell these two are so passionate about what they do and where they live. I will definitely be back to Okinawa one day, and can’t wait to dive with them again. They are now family! Thank you Marina, Wataru and of course Jasmine :)

Completed my OWD with Marina and Wataru - both are amazing instructors and helped me acquire all the skills to dive comfortably, safely and with confidence. The dives were super fun, we managed to see some unique underwater life and even though it was pretty cold and raining, boat captains’ hot shower kept us warm! I certainly hope to return to Okinawa and do more diving with these amazing people 🥰

Fabulous dive shop run by two fabulous people - Marina and Wataru. Super service with excellent communication and planning, great logistics and equipment, and excellent safety. I dived five days with them, both shore and boat dives across the island, and would have dived another 100 days if I could have. They are great guides, have great captains, and know how to build exceptional dive outings. In addition, they are, without exception, two of the loveliest people I have ever met in my life. Diving in Okinawa with Bonz great, but diving with Marina and Wataru made it more than special and has changed me as a diver. If you have the chance, get in touch with them and see great things and laugh a lot. Thank you both and see you soon (special shout out to Jasmine too)!
