Fun, Exciting & Educational

Welcome to Reef Tours Okinawa! My name is James from Bondi Beach, Australia. I am thrilled to be your guide on this incredible journey through the ocean. My passion for the sea ignited at a young age on the beautiful shores of Bondi and surrounding beaches, where I learned the art of riding waves alongside my siblings and friends and catching fish taught by professional fishermen. After spending over 20 years in Okinawa I have immersed myself in the local marine environment and culture working with the local fisheries and have been able to surf and teach all over the Islands and have dedicated my life to helping others discover the wonders of the ocean.

As a certified scuba diving instructor since 2007, licensed PWC Rescue Operator with Japan Water Patrol, BLS certified have developed a comprehensive teaching program that encompasses surfing, fishing, spearfishing, ocean swimming and safety and more. For me, the ocean is not just a job; it is a way of life that I cherish deeply. I invite you to join me for an unforgettable adventure, where you will not only acquire essential ocean skills but also experience the breathtaking beauty and excitement of the underwater world. Let's make some amazing memories together!
