Comments	We had an awesome time diving with Otavio and All Blue Divers in Okinawa. Being a free-lance dive guide allows him to take you to all of the great diving spots around Okinawa. We did a great combo of boat dives and shore dives, seeing tons of diverse sea-life. Octavio runs a very safe and very professional operation. He is super accommodating and helpful. Since Okinawa has many dive areas, Otavio will book an area boat, depending on where you want to dive, what you want to see and the weather conditions. When diving on boats around the island, he has to follow the boat's rules. That usually means that the dives are restricted to 45 minutes. When he takes you shore diving, he will let you dive your own profile. All Blue Divers maintains a small shop in the Yomitan area of Okinawa. They have a full line of rental equipment, if you don't want to take your own gear. There are plenty of places to stay close by, as well as good restaurants and markets. We will certainly join him again someday in Okinawa. I highly recommend Otavio and All Blue Divers for your Okinawa dive adventure.
