Tida Diving Service >> Information, Staff
Welcome to Tida Diving Service!! “Tida”, the name of our shop, means “Sun”
in the local Ishigakijima dialect! We aim to make our service like the
Okinawa sun ? “warm” and “cheerful” ? as we guide you around the top diving
points off the coast Ishigakijima, such as Kabira’s Manta Scramble, as
well as diving points off some of the further afield Yaeyama islands, such
as Iriomotejima, Haterumajima! It is our policy to only ever take out small
groups and we pride ourselves on our intimate, homely service.and Iriomotejima!
Our boat departs every day with a minimum of just one customer! We want
you to feel totally comfortable diving or snorkeling with us, even if you
are travelling alone.
Concept
It is our policy to only ever take out small groups and we pride ourselves on our intimate, homely service.We are all about diving
freely and safely! We want you to get 120% enjoyment out of the seas around
Ishigakijima and we see it as our job to help you create unforgettable memories
of your time diving in Ishigakijima. The underwater world offers a wonderful
opportunity to meet lots of new people and we like to make the most of that
opportunity in every way we can.
About Us
Tida first opened in 2003. The area of Shiraho where our shop is located
is a village where you can really enjoy a sense of Ishigakijima and its
traditions through the ages. If you are looking to enjoy the real Okinawa
experience, we can recommend the package including diving and accommodation
at a traditional guest house in Shiraho! Our boat leaves from the port
at Shigaichi (the main town of Ishigakijima). We are happy to pick you
up from your accommodation, or you can come to the shop. We are members
of the Yaeyama Diving Association and Ishigakijima Marine Leisure Association.
