Freediving in Ishigaki
Blue Space is the first company teaching PADI freediving courses here in Ishigaki. We like to introduce you the purest and most peaceful way of diving. Holding the breath, forgetting all thoughts for a while and just be part of the ocean, is a beautiful feeling. Staying under the water as long as our breath allows us and diving down makes freediving a fascinating and popular sport. Taking a PADI freediver course will prepare you to dive safe and effortless while holding your breath.
