About Bubble Addict Okinawa
Bubble Addict Okinawa is a premium SSI dive centre tucked away in the village of Nakijin in northern Okinawa. Run by a multilingual husband-and-wife team, the shop is built around a philosophy of calm, unhurried diving with ultra-small group sizes. Their base sits inside the SOMA ecoliving complex, where guests are greeted with a complimentary drink at the on-site Soma Cafe before heading out to the water.
The centre offers introductory dives, SSI certification courses, and guided fun dives at hand-picked sites across northern Okinawa that are far quieter than the busy central coast. Full equipment is provided, and each dive day includes hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch at the cafe, and professional underwater photography. They also run snorkelling tours for non-divers who want to explore the coral reefs without a tank.
Bubble Addict stands out for its intimate, boutique atmosphere. By capping groups at just a few divers, the instructors can match the pace and depth of every session to individual comfort levels. The northern location means cleaner reefs with less boat traffic, and the eco-lodge accommodation lets guests turn a dive day into an overnight stay surrounded by Okinawa's subtropical countryside.
