Piranha Divers Okinawa ピラニアダイバーズ沖縄

Hello, we are Jan and Tomoko and we would love to welcome you here in Okinawa!

We founded Piranha Divers in 2009 in the backyard of our house and since then grew from a small family company to something bigger the “Piranha Family” we are a team of international diving enthusiasts, and ocean lovers. Join us and experience the best diving Japan has to offer, experience fantastic sub-tropical island life, first world safety standards and not to mention, lots of sun, stunning beaches and crystal clear, warm waters (25–30°C most of the year).

Scuba diving in Okinawa means endless reefs, walls and caves, a huge WWII wreck, and incredible marine life – from tiny, strikingly coloured nudibranchs to rays, turtles, sharks and tuna.

We believe you’ll love diving in Okinawa with us and we look forward meeting you,
Jan and Tomoko and the team of Piranha Divers.

Shop Rules

Pension Weekend
Japan is justifiably famous for its extensive, well-organized and efficient transportation network. However, this does not necessarily apply when traveling in Okinawa. So, to make our divers’ time here as hassle-free as possible, we usually recommend they stay at the small, nearby Pension Weekend while diving with us, only a 5 minutes walk from Piranha Divers’ dive shop. Pension Weekend is owned by an local family most of the communication for the booking is done in Japanese which is difficult for most visitors so we are happy to help you with this service. The cost for staying is very reasonable with only 6.000Yen for one person or 10.000Yen for 2 persons, the price includes a healthy breakfast. All rooms have a private bathroom, air-condition and WIFI available. Please read what others had to say about staying at Pension Weekend. (please be aware this place can not be booked online)

Access Information

(Airport Shuttle Bus/Airport Limousine Bus)
From Naha Airport you can take the airport-shuttle bus, and buy your ticket directly in the bus. Get off at ‘Halekulani Okinawa Mae’ and walk 3 minutes to the diveshop.

You can also take the Airport Limousine bus, and buy your ticket at all major resort hotels or the information counter at the airport. Get off at ‘Kariyushi Beach Resort’ and we happily arrange a pick up from the bus stop.

Please keep in mind that these buses run less frequently (depending on the season) but are faster and more comfortable. To arrange pick up from the bus stop please let us know your scheduled arrival time.

If your plane arrives after 8pm at Naha Airport you won't be able to catch a bus anymore. We are happy to arrange a pick up from the airport for you.

This fee is valid for up to two passengers, we ask for an additional fee of 5.000 Yen for three or four passengers. To organize simply write your pickup request, flight number, arrival time into your dive booking. The drive from the Airport takes about 90 minutes.

There are a number of rental car companies in Okinawa, which is by far the best way to get around the island. Please make sure that your driver’s license/international driver’s license is actually valid in Japan.
