Itinerary
【Dive sites】
Our dive sites are on nearby islands Minna and Sesoko, just a 15 minute boat ride from the local port.
Minna Island has multiple dive sites along its north side, and offers beautiful coral reefs at shallow depth (～30ft) filled with colorful animals like anenomefish, eagle rays, trevally, pipefish, and much more. If you head deeper from the reefs, distinctive white sandy bottom spreads - home to numerous garden eels, with isolated coral reefs at 80ft - home to school of snappers and lionfish.
Sesoko Island offers spectacular underwater landscapes - tunnels, caverns, and swim-throughs. Wildlife includes white-tip reef sharks, turtles, sea snakes, moray eels, octopus, nudibranchs, and much more!
【Wagyu lunch】
After your dives, relax at our ocean-view café for a local BBQ lunch. Wagyu lunch consists of a light course meal using a hotplate. 4-5 different parts of Motobu beef (between 300-400g/person) is served, along with local Agu pork. Local, farm-to-table vegetables include bell peppers, eggplant, shiitake mushrooms, and other seasonal items. Indoor/outdoor seating with ocean views and a foot bath are available to you.

This was a fantastic experience for both me and my partner. Taz was a great guide and instructor, particularly for my partner who was scuba diving for the first time. You can expect to see a large variety of coral reefs and fish with you guide taking high quality pictures and videos of you to remember your experience! We were blown away by the meal provided after the diving which included beef, pork and vegetables from the local community in large portions. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone as it is well worth the reasonable price! Thanks Taz for the amazing experience!!

We enjoyed ourselves so much with our Dive Master, Taz. The facilities were amazing, and we felt so comfortable throughout the whole dive. The wagyu lunch was absolutely amazing with enormous portions. Highly recommended!

The dive is awesome! Wish I can get more diver friends and come over Motobu again to have a party after the dive. The vegetables are fresh and juicy, and the meat is nice just with the salt. And also the view at the shop is super nice when the sun goes down. And Taz san also give me some advices on where to go in Okinawa.

Absolutely faultless, I could write an endlessly long review about the experience but I will try to keep it short.
Taz was warm and welcoming from when we first met, he was attentive the entire time and is exceptionally meticulous about everything he does.
The amount of effort that has been invested in planning this experience from start to finish is beyond exceptional.
As first timers at scuba diving Taz showed us the ropes and hands on helped us with everything up to a point where we where soon diving alongside him taking in the breathtaking views.
After a memorable scuba diving trip which included seeing a turtle we headed back to the Ocean lounge for what we thought was a simple bbq, this was in fact the equivalent of eating at a high end restaurant with various courses of fine quality locally sourced food and drink selected by Taz and offered a unique truly local experience.
The entire trip was impeccable and we will most certainly be back again!
For anyone considering this but debating the cost, it is entirely worth and in all honesty could be a lot more expensive considering what you get.

From the initial contact point until the end of the tour Taz was the most kind, caring and hospitable host. He was extremely accommodating with working with us on a suitable time and altered the schedule which was truly appreciated.
It was my husbands first dive whilst I have some dives under my belt. Taz look the time to explain everything and really made us feel comfortable before commencing our dives. He ensured my husband was comfortable in the water and stayed with him until he got used to the equipment. Taz was great at pointing out different varieties of fish and was very playful which made it even more fun! we saw so many gorgeous fish, coral and Taz was kind enough to take some photos for us.
Next we headed for lunch to the most gorgeous place surrounded by greenery and the ocean. The newly built cafe has such a relaxing vibe perfect to have lunch after a dive.
Now the lunch… wow!!! All the produce is from the surrounding farms and the quality of the meat and vegetables is astounding. The Japanese bbq was never ending and was very generous with portions. We even finished with dessert a scrumptious cheesecake (which taz had made the night before) and the best black coffee I’ve had. We were so full after this and this is definitely one of the best meals we have had in Japan.
Taz truly has such great attention to detail and has really thought out the experience. This is an experience we will cherish and remember for a time life. Thank you Taz!!
