Last Sunday we wrapped up another fantastic PADI Deep Diver Specialty with two unforgettable dives on the USS Emmons.

It took me a few extra days to get these photos edited, but they were worth the wait! Here are some of my favorites from an absolutely incredible day on the wreck. The video is still being edited and will be coming soon.

In all the years we’ve been diving the Emmons, these were some of the best conditions we’ve ever experienced. The visibility was phenomenal, the current was minimal, and we were able to spend the day enjoying this incredible site exactly the way we had hoped. We were truly blessed. Special thanks, as always, to North of Nago charters.

Congratulations to our newest Deep Divers! Thank you for trusting us with your training and for helping make it such a memorable weekend. We hope these photos bring back some great memories, and we look forward to diving with you again soon.

🌊 **Your Adventure Starts Monday.**

In just a few days, a new group of students will begin their journey to becoming PADI Open Water Divers.

By next weekend, they'll have completed their first open water dives and experienced a side of Okinawa that few people ever get to see.

If you've been thinking about learning to dive, **today is the final day to register** for this course through Kadena Marina.

Whether your goal is swimming alongside sea turtles, exploring Okinawa's incredible reefs, or earning a certification you can use around the world, it all begins with that first step.

📅 **Course Dates:** July 27 – August 2

If you're ready to start your own underwater adventure, today's your opportunity.

We'll see you underwater. 🤿

For the past couple of weeks, we've shared why the USS Emmons means so much to us.

We've talked about her history, the privilege of diving hallowed ground, and why we built our Deep Diver Specialty around preparing divers to experience this remarkable ship safely and respectfully.

If you've been thinking about joining us, now is the time.

We'll be finalizing our charter arrangements today. If you'd like to earn your PADI Deep Diver Specialty while diving the USS Emmons with us on July 25–26, please reach out before we release any remaining seats.

Whether you're joining us or diving the Emmons another day, we hope every diver who visits this historic site does so with the preparation, respect, and appreciation it deserves.
