About
Diving in Okinawa with an English speaking dive shop...Okinawa is a little gem in the middle of the sea of Japan, surrounded with torques colored, warm waters and endless reefs, waiting silently to be discovered. I have only one aim at Sunkissed Divers Okinawa and that is to show you this tropical beauty of Japan. Planning to make your first scuba diving experience in Okinawa as a discover scuba diver or aiming straight for the Padi Open Water diver course? Flexible dive schedules and numerous sites are waiting for you. Experienced divers can choose from many different daily fun divings in famous locations, such as the Blue Cave or Manzamo and day tours in Okinwa's famous islands, like the Kerama and Minna islands. I know that planning a holiday can be stressful sometimes , so let me make it easy for you from booking flights, car rental to restaurant reservations. "...let your mind go and your body will follow" - the way you should think about your holiday.

I learn about these guys from some fellow hotel guests, who recommended Kuba as their dive guide.
I called in with some questions and both George and Kuba was incredibly responsive. They worked with my skill level and interest areas to recommend dive sites for me.
Kuba in particular is very trustworthy. I've had a number of dive shops recommend various places, and when I mentioned the Kuba that I was specifically interested in seeing different types of animals, he let me know that what to expect in these places and that some of these places are not as biodiverse as others.
I was shocked at much he went above and beyond to help me out, and how incredibly responsive he was to my needs. The day of the dive I had a health issue and wasn't sure if I should cancel. Kuba was able to work around my needs.
At the dive site he even brought additional warm clothing for me. I have not dived in over a year and a half and was somewhere rusty. He was incredibly patient and taught me how to set up my equipment and walked me through the basics.
Midway through the dive I lost my camera, and we retraced our steps until I found it again.
Kuba has been doing guide work for a long time and seems to be really experienced in diving with people of all levels and is incredibly observant and responsive.
When doing diving activities, I always have this anxiety that I might be in distress and no one would notice. But I really started to feel comfortable when I realized how observant and responsive he was.
There are several points where I started to become anxious or having problems and he noticed my hesitance immediately and was able to come over and help me out.
He took photos of the dive, and even took photos of the animals I pointed out and interesting animals that we found. Him taking photos for me took pressure off of me, so I could better enjoy observing the animals, and not be so fixated on getting photos of them.
I was just one customer, and he gave it 1000% and went above and beyond to take care of me and make sure I was comfortable both in the water and on land. He was incredibly responsive via messages and was very easy to work with.
I'd love to dive with him again and would recommend anybody to him, especially people that might be anxious about diving.

As a group of four complete beginners (father and three kids), our two instructors Anthony and Stefan led us on a fantastic half day “Scuba Discovery” course, with some shore instruction followed by two reef dives. Anthony and Stefan were highly competent and professional and took very great care of us, helping find correct buoyancy and resolve initial problems with equalization - the ratio of one instructor to two pupils was very helpful here for us as beginners. They quickly had us all swimming underwater independently and with confidence, marveling at the marine life on the reef at Maeda. On our second dive we swam underwater into the Blue Cave which, being late in the afternoon, we had almost all to ourselves. A really special experience. Huge thanks to Anthony and Stefan for delivering us our top holiday memory. If you are looking for someone to learn to dive with in Okinawa in a professional and safe but very friendly and fun environment then I can 100% recommend Sunkissed Divers.

It was a great pleasure to dive with Sunkissed Divers Okinawa. I had a great experience from the first email all the way until finishing my 10 dives with them. George was very responsive and accommodating to my requests of dive sites and pick up/drop off from the hostel. I really appreciate his prompt and quick responses to my email, which is important for someone who’s diving somewhere new for the first time.
Over the four day period, Kuba, Stefan, and Anthony were great dive leaders, patient, and fun to hang out with. Anthony even agreed on taking me on a night dive when I requested on the day, which is very cool him. My favorite site was the USS Emmons, which Kuba and George was able to shift things around for me to go on to them. Definitely a must visit site in Okinawa!
I would highly recommend diving with Sunkissed and their selection of dives site offering and the service they provide!
Thank you Anthony for the underwater photos!

We went snorkeling and scuba diving with Sunkissed dives. It was one of the most amazing times, and they make sure each customer has an individualized experience, with safety a top priority. Highly recommend for snorkeling and scuba diving while visiting Okinawa, Japan.

I had a wonderful experience with Sunkissed Divers. Stefan (Guide/Instructor) was extremely knowledgable, professional and helpful. I did two days of diving, all the dives were immense. Stefan made sure every question was answered and I got the most out of each dive. George was great and organised the bookings. The whole operation was very easy and smooth. If you want to dive with great people in Okinawa, Sunkissed Divers are the best! Thanks Stefan and George!

Gyorgy K. is a down to earth kind of guy. He is adaptive, friendly, professional and personal. His teachings was easy to grasp and worked very well for me personally. I admire his passion for diving, it is infectious and makes you want to do it again and again and again. The underwater world he has shown me is amazing and will only grow with time and my experiences. I will come back to take the next level of diving license with Gyorgy K.- and I live in Sweden. Totally worth it!

George was an excellent instructor and guide. Once I was in the water I felt totally save and had a gread experience on both dives. The abundance of sea creatures was really astonishing - be it tiny baby clown fish, sea turtles relaxing in a coral reef giant sea slugs as big as a human arm or all the peaceful fiah that are constantly accompaning you. 100% recommendation for everyone visiting Okinawa.

I was very impressed with the instructions and briefing before the dive. This was my first dive experience and was very thrilled to have a one on one session . This gave me the opportunity to learn very fast. I would recommend this for any beginner couple or solo diving for the first time .
