Nao responded very quickly to our mails, was very structured, informative and pro-active by suggesting two great dives at cape manzamo matching all our wishes.
After we were picked up from the hotel, Nao explained and instructed us in perfect English.
We had two incredible dives with him. Nao was very keen to show us everything and he took good care of us at all times. With his little board he could write and explain many things to us underwater, which was great.
In the break between dives, we had tea and snacks.
During the dives, Nao took a lot of great pictures with his professional camera, which he sent us afterwards via mail.
We can highly recommend diving with Nao!

Nao, the diving instructor of Isles diving center, is the go-to guy for any foreigner who wish to dive in Okinawa mainland. He can speak English really well and did guide us well and with great patience. He takes care of the gear, picks you up from a known landmark and knows the best diving spots around the island. Had a lot’s of fun talking to him and and his assistant while they guide us through a very smooth diving experience. Give him a shot even though you’re a beginner, he is really good as an instructor. ~Keerthi, India

We enjoyed advanced open water course with Nao. It was a great experience to learn from him, and we definitely come back to him to Onna-son to dive again. I can recommend him to both Japanese and international divers as he can speak and provide diving in English.

My wife and I booked a dive with Nao for our honeymoon. It was the first time for both of us so we were a bit nervous but Nao was so calm and clear with his instructions that we could relax and enjoy it. He spoke great English and was very helpful and quick to reply to our emails before the dive. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to dive in the blue cave. He took lots of photos and videos and sent them to us later in the day so we can always have a memory of the trip. It was a really great experience scuba diving for the first time and I would definitely recommend Nao to anyone who wants to give it a try!!

I did the AOWD together with my boyfriend (nobody else in our group) and we loved everything about the experience and Nao (master & owner)! Before the course, the communication and arrangements were really smooth and in english. Nao helped us to refresh our skills and explained all the necessary information to have a good feeling and be ready to go.
Although we were unlucky with the weather first, he took us to great spots on the shore and by boat. He adjusted the plans as much as he could to our wishes, was well prepared and caring and provided us with all equipment. during the dives he showed us many different fishes we wouldn’t have seen/recognized and explained their names (he used a small divers notebook under water). he took professional fotos and shared all of them with us at the end of the course.
Overall we couldn’t have wished for a better diving teacher and experience, 11/10 would recommend.

We took both the OWD and the AOWD courses with Nao and it was an amazing experience!

NAO is such a great coach - kind, friendly, easy to talk to and has a calming presence. He made a lot of effort to ensure that we are safe, and that we know our skills during the course, while also making sure that we had a fun time. We went to four dive sites in total and he was always eager to pointing out different marine life to us. Saw a sleeping sea turtle once and even a shark! He also takes great pictures for us underwater!

He also made special arrangements for us to go diving extra early when there was a typhoon. So grateful for that.

Would definitely recommend Nao, whether you are looking to take a PADI course or just have some fun diving:)

I had my first time diving experience, The instructor name Naoki-san was
awesome! he took so many pic's and I have a BLAST!!
Okinawa is one of the most beautiful oceans. Also took time for me so I wont
panic in the water. My family got a chance to swim with a see turtle and the
weather was great! I will recommend that if you are going to Okinawa please
try diving with Naoki-san!

Dive Center Isles is so amazing! Nao-San is super friendly and accommodating. We dove the whale shark enclosure, blue cave, and cape of maeda. Everything went smoothly as the staff and boat were all super prepared. Water clarity was awesome and we got to see a lot of cool stuff. 100% recommend for any diver, beginner or advanced.

We had a great experience diving with our guide Nao! He picked us up and brought us back to our hotel every time. He was always caring for our needs and spoiled us nicely. He took amazing pictures underwater of us and the beauty around us, and later shared all the pictures with us for free. He is a real expert of the area so he will find the best marine life around. Highly recommended!

The weather and coach are both excellent on that day. This was my first time to dive with Whale sharks and this trip was amazing. We took many beautiful pictures with Whale sharks when we were diving. This trip becomes a valuable experience in my life and I really enjoy it.
