I was worried about the cold when going into the ocean in winter, but thanks to the fully waterproof wetsuit they lent me, I was able to enjoy snorkeling much more comfortably than I had imagined. The water was incredibly clear, and I was truly moved to have such a high chance of seeing the sea turtles I’d always wanted to see. However, I had a bit of trouble getting the wetsuit on and off, so it would have been perfect if there had been a little more space in the changing area.

At first, I was a little hesitant about going into the ocean in winter, but since I was able to borrow a fully waterproof wetsuit, I didn’t feel cold at all. Next, we took a boat to the dive site, and as soon as I entered the water, I spotted a sea turtle. Thanks to the instructor’s attentive guidance, I was able to take my time observing the sea turtle as it swam gracefully. I was surprised to find that I could enjoy such a beautiful ocean so comfortably, even in winter.

I think this package offers great value for money, as it includes a fully waterproof wetsuit that lets you enjoy the ocean comfortably even in winter. The support for beginners is excellent, and the high chance of seeing sea turtles is another big draw. However, the changing area felt a bit cramped, so if the instructions on how to prepare beforehand had been a little more detailed, it would have been perfect. Overall, it was a satisfying experience.
