I found Piranha divers when I started my researching for a trip to Okinawa. I chose them for a few reasons. 1. The reviews 2. proximity to the property decided to stay at and 3. offered to have transport to dive sites.
Jan was very responsive to all my communication from first communications. We had email at first then through WhatsApp. When it came to finally arriving and having weeks of setup in advance, it was a very easy process to deal with Piranha Divers.
We met Jan and we were introduced to who would be our dive guide for the week, Bas. Everyone was super friendly and answered all of our questions. We discussed how we will work out the dive days. We had a car but they offered us transportation to and from dive sites. We took advantage the transport and after each dive day, Bas offered us to join him for lunch, before returning back to shop. (Lunch is not included). He took us to some of his favorite places and they did not disappoint. We had a nice variety of restaurants and each one was delicious from noodles to taco rice.
We were able to keep our gear at the shop to rinse and dry until the next dive day. They have cleaning and drying areas. It was super convenient for us as bring back our gear to our hotel each day would not have been fun.
They even have DPV dives. Which we are already experienced using them since we own our own back home.
Our dive sites were amazing Mermaids Grotto as well as the USS Emmons (must be deep and advanced certified for that). Our DPV dive was spread over two dive sites and it was one long dive.
Definitely would use Piranha again. Highly recommended and the experience was worth it!!!
Thank you so much look forward to diving again in the future!
We had an amazing time diving with Piranha Divers, we were all beginner divers and they were super patient and thorough with us.
Next time we are back in Okinawa we will be diving with Piranha again for sure.
Highly recommended
My experience at Piranha Divers was wonderful. Jan (the owner) and Bas (my guide) were top notch. Bas shared two wonderful dives Apo Gama and the Toilet Bowl (dont let the name fool you). The sealife and geology were amazing. Sea Snakes, Sharks and Cuttle fish to name a few. The shops equipment performed flawlessy and I was thrilled to have a back plate wing. Not your average rental gear. I highly recomend the shop to all divers of all skill levels. Thanks Team Piranha.
I just completed an open water certification course offered by Piranha Dive Shop, and what a great way to see Onna and learn how to dive!
Before the practical part of the course, Jan, the owner of the dive shop, was very responsive to all my questions over email.
My instructor, Bas, was very knowledgeable and patient, and it was such a rewarding and enjoyable experience learning from him. He’s a very skilled diver and teacher, and all the dive sites that he picked were not only stunning but also appropriate for the skills we were working on each day. Now that I’ve completed the course, I’ll treasure the memories made of diving in Okinawa as well as the confidence gained in my ability to dive in other locations.
Thanks for the amazing experience!
Fantastic experience diving in the Blue Cave in Okinawa with Jan and his team. He is very professional and well organized and guided us smoothly both outside and inside the water ... I recommend strongly for first-time diving in Okinawa ! Thank you Jan for this excellent moment we spent together.
I had a great time diving with Piranha Divers Okinawa. Due to a Taifun I was just able to do one day of diving at Suambe Seawall but I enjoyed it very much. Jan and Bas were great Instructors. The equipment and dive briefing was very professional and the soft coral at Sunabe seawall very colourful. I will come back to dive with Piranha divers again.
