This was my very first time diving, and it was the first time I’d ever seen the underwater world with my own eyes. The water was crystal clear, and I was moved by how clearly I could see the fish. Since I can’t swim, I was really scared at first, but thanks to the great support I received, I was able to swim—which surprised even me. I also really appreciated how they looked out for me when I got seasick. I was full of anxiety at first, but looking back, it turned out to be a really fun experience.

During my second trip to Phuket, I was originally researching Phi Phi Island when I came across Mr. Nara’s private tour, so I quickly changed my plans to join it. He responded quickly to my inquiries from Japan, and the pre-trip instructions were easy to understand, so I felt completely at ease on the day of the tour. I had never dived before, so I was a bit scared when I actually got into the water, but once I trusted Mr. Nara and took the plunge, I was moved by the world that unfolded right before my eyes. Gradually, my fear faded, and I even had the chance to take in the colorful fish around me. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my entire trip.

The ocean was so beautiful, and I got to see lots of fish. The instructions were easy to follow, and the instructor adjusted the pace of the practice to suit me, so I was able to swim right away. The boat had meals and showers, so I had a very comfortable time. They not only took photos during the dive but also put together a video for me, which made for a wonderful memory.

I took part in an introductory diving experience on my honeymoon. I was pretty nervous at first, but Mr. Nara gave me a gentle and thorough explanation, so I was able to enjoy the dive. The ocean was beautiful, and I got to see all kinds of fish. Since it was an introductory dive, we couldn’t go very deep, but seeing the sunken ship and motorcycle left a lasting impression on me. The meal on the large boat was delicious, and I really appreciated the warm drinks after the dive. I was able to ask questions casually via LINE even before booking, so I had no trouble getting ready. The photos and videos also made for wonderful memories.

This was my first time in Phuket and my first time diving, so I was a little nervous going in, but I had a great time. The previous year, when I went snorkeling in Pattaya, I was bothered by the cold water and murky conditions, so I felt like I was out to redeem myself this time. The water in Phuket was crystal clear, and I was able to swim alongside colorful fish just like the ones I’d seen at an aquarium—it was a truly wonderful experience.
