Diving,PADI courses: English and German scuba services in Okinawa,Japan
Introduction : Piranha-Divers Okinawa
Hajimethiya* (How do you do?) My name is Jan. I founded Piranha Divers in 2009. I started diving in 1999 in Germany as a CMAS diver in a quarry. Since that time, I have dived and worked in Egypt, Greece, Australia and Thailand. Now I live in Japan and work as a PADI Instructor in Onna, Okinawa. The ocean here is beautiful and allows me to share with clients all kinds of unique diving experiences—huge, colorful underwater coral gardens, canyons and caves, drift diving, night diving, and even a wreck from World War II that was discovered only in 2001.
Piranha Divers is located in the north of Onna village, near Nago. (Please click on “Location”) We are a very small but friendly shop, dedicated to the Individual diver, not to the crowd! Our facilities include a decent size classroom, a nice garden with a place to wash and dry gear, and plenty of parking.
We offer a complete range of rental gear, from new to slightly used. All our scuba equipment is in very good condition, which, unfortunately, is not always the case when diving in Okinawa.
Over time, we have built good relationships with people here on the island, which helps the whole operation run smoothly.
Please feel free to contact us for further information.

Tomoko
She is the organizing and hard-working hand behind Piranha Divers, managing all the official contacts with the government, local community, and other diving-related issues. Tomoko is an open-water diver, but has less time for diving than she would like: Our young daughter tends to become unhappy if she disappears under the water for an hour or so!
