MARINE CLUB BERRY

Okinawa Main Island, Japan

The team at Marine Club Berry on Okinawa Main Island are our top pick if you're looking to take your PADI certifications seriously, all the way up to Instructor. We love that they’re a full-blown PADI 5 Star IDC Resort, which means serious infrastructure and experienced instructors. This isn't a fly-by-night operation; they're set up to deliver proper training and then some. We’ve had some cracking dives with them, especially around the Kerama Islands. Think clear blue water, with schools of neon damselfish flickering around the coral heads. One time, we drifted over a cleaning station, watching a manta ray glide in for a polish – just incredible. If you're looking for a professional outfit that knows Okinawa's diving inside out, and you appreciate smooth logistics, Berry is a solid choice. Just be prepared for Japanese-style efficiency; everything runs like clockwork, which we actually appreciate when you’re on holiday.
