Zamami / Okinawa Dive Report

[ed fisher]

We also considered staying on the main island and taking day-trips to Zamami. The only problem for us was that we'd be getting back after 4pm. My wife doesn't dive so that means she would've been sitting in the hotel room all day, so that wasn't a go. Then we found out that Zamami was actually pretty cool. I thought staying on Zamami was awesome. It's not 4-star hotels and room service, but once you get over that - it is so laid back, so much charm on that island. And the beach there is sooo beautiful. But if you're going to be staying on the main island because of your son then I guess staying on Zamami might not be an option. There are a couple English dive ops:

Heartland - Momo is the english speaking dive instructor:

and JoyJoy:

I dove with Heartland and was very happy with them. Sorry, I hope I'm not p'ing off the main island ops.

Thanks. We will be staying at my son's apartment but maybe take a 2 or 3 day trip to Zamami. I am seeing from japan-diver that they will be limiting daily dives there. I will have to see how that works out.
