Diving School Marea Miyakojima - Ishigaki & Yaeyama
The team at Diving School Marea Miyakojima are PADI pros, through and through. They’re a PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre, which basically means they live and breathe training. If you’re looking to get serious about your dive education, from beginner all the way to instructor, these are the folks we’d recommend on Miyakojima. What we really appreciate about Marea is their dedication to comfort and safety. They’ve got their own pool, which is a big plus for getting comfortable before hitting the open water, especially if you’re new to the chillier Japanese currents. We've seen their instructors take new divers through skills with incredible patience, making sure everyone feels solid before moving on. They run a tight ship, in a good way, meaning your courses are thorough, well-organised, and you come out feeling genuinely competent. While they might not be the most budget-friendly option, you’re paying for top-tier instruction and peace of mind, which, let’s be honest, is invaluable when you’re learning to breathe underwater.
