Introduction of Our Working Staff<\/h3>\n

Our aim: \u201cTo get more people from around the world to fall in love with Japan by means of the sea.\u201d The service we provide is based on our unwavering commitment to this mission statement.
\nWe are true marine professionals, specialized in the areas of travel and the sea.
\nOur boss is one of the rare few diving instructors in Japan who is also an instructor certifier (with the top level qualification to evaluate diving instructors and act as an examiner). He also has practical teaching experience as a marine sports college lecturer. Therefore, all of our staff can take on the role of diving instructors to conduct professional and interesting courses and receive each of our customers in a cheerful and friendly manner.<\/p>\n

\nTAKAYASU\u3000HOSHIHARA<\/span>[Nickname: Yassan]
\nI was born in Tokyo and graduated from the Biological Oceanography program of Florida Institute of Technology. I encountered the Maasai people on the continent of Africa when sailing around the world and was greatly touched by their lifestyle of dealing with nature face-to-face.
\nThe idea that human beings are also animals came to my mind and I started to seek a way of life that is harmonious with nature. I moved to Okinawa since graduation and worked as a dolphin trainer, diving instructor and nature guide.
\nDuring this process, I learned that it is important to get the general public acquainted with the wonders of nature, so I established the dive shop using the experience I had accumulated, hoping that more tourists would return home thinking that their trips have been rewarding and worthwhile.
\nI have taught Marine Environment in the capacity of a part-time college lecturer in Okinawa. As the ocean teacher at primary schools, nursery schools and English cram schools, I have actively participated in marine environmental education activities. In addition, I have written theses, throwing myself every day into the research activities of marine environment education!

\nAYA\u3000HOSHIHARA<\/span>[Nickname: Hirari]
\nBorn in Tokyo, I fulfilled my dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher after graduating from the childhood education department in Aoyama Gakuin Women’s Junior College.
\nAs a teacher, I am even more energetic than the children. I once got all muddy while having fun in nature. I am extremely happy to be able to make full use of the wild camping experience I accumulated as a volunteer in my student days, and spend wonderful time in nature with children who are visiting Okinawa. Come visit Okinawa and experience things that cannot be found in the city. Let\u2019s create beautiful memories together!
\nTake an afternoon nap with the kids, enjoy the sea breeze and take a leisurely walk. Have a good time in Okinawa! I have obtained the certification of \u201cChildren\u2019s Naturalist\u201d and am continuing to pursue my studies of nature and environment.<\/p>\n
