Underwater video on Okinawa

[WSU Coug]

Nice videos. I live in Okinawa also and had been considering getting into SCUBA diving. Is there anywhere you would recommend classes? Torii Station, Tsunami Gear, Kadena Marina?

I recommend using Larry Byerly through Torii Station, he was my instructor. He is as old as the hills but knows his stuff and certified I don't know how many people. Let me know if you use him.

Torii is good. I know and have assisted Eric Hill's class but have never worked with Larry. I would think either would be good.

Darlene Fong out of Kadena Marina is also good.

Not sure about Tsunami Gear on the Marine bases.

I bought an X-scooter and it came in last week! I took it out on its first trip in the water Saturday morning and had a great time. Here is a link to a bit of the video.

Still need to do a bit on the buoyancy (maybe 50 grams?) and dial in the leash a bit. Man, that was fun! I think I'm still smiling!

Hi!
I learned Scuba with Reef Rovers Dive Club at Kadena Airbase in 1973. Is it still in existence? If so could you get me their email address and web site address? Send to tebeau169@att.net

Reef Rovers on Kadena ceased operation in the 90's, they are not around any more.
