Diving Kerama islands -- accommodation?

[BabyFugu]

Hi all,

Coming to Okinawa for 10 days in early April and will do a few days of diving. Trying to find out whether I can stay at least one night somewhere on the Kerama islands instead of going as a day trip for diving?

Been doing some searching, but so far have not been able to pin point any real accommodation.

Any recommendations?

I haven't been there, but found diving services with accommodation on Geruma island,
http://www.geruma.com/
and Tokashiki island
http://www.seafriend.jp/

As you can see from the above pages, English information is unavailable. Guessing from this, those diving services may not readily cater to foreign customers. Dive masters &/or instructors MAY say okay, but they may also decline claiming the language barrier can cause safety issues (ie. miscommunication while briefing, leading to adrift diver).
I do hope I'm wrong, and BabyFugu get's to stay and dive at Kerama though.

Best wishes for your trip to Okinawa! (hoping my post wasn't too late)

The best English speaking service is going to be Okinawa Diving, Japan - Reef Encounters - Japan's Tropical Dive Paradise with World Class Reefs! We are the only international full service dive shop. for diving Okinawa and the Keramas
