Hi there! I've dived a couple of trips to the Keramas - good diving! One question - are the US Forces diveshops open to everyone - or just US military?

Hay Jim,

Welcome to the board.

I was certified at Kadena Marina wayyyyy back in 86. We did one trip to the Keramas while I was stationed there, nice diving there if I remember it right. I liked Bolo Point best though. Also did some nice wall diving anound Okinawa but I can't remember the name of the site.

We do any DOD or related folks, locals too as long as they have a certification we recognize. May need a sponser if not DoD, but I work there as the DiveMaster and can generally work that out.

Wall dives are usually at seragahi beach or horseshoe. There is a small (60 meters or so) wall at mieada point as well unless you were all the way down south at sucide cliffs or the links.
