Miyakojima’s Premier Cave & Topography Specialists — Experience the Art of Underwater Light and Shadow.

Welcome to BIGHOLIDAY Miyakojima, the premier choice for divers seeking the most dramatic underwater topography and cave systems in Japan.

Our mission is to provide an unforgettable, high-quality diving experience centered on three core pillars:

• Topography Experts: From the intricate arches of "Antonio Gaudi" to the mystical depths of "Tori-ike," our guides are specialists in Miyako Island's unique terrain. We know exactly when and where the light creates its most magical effects, ensuring breathtaking views and photo opportunities.

• The Ultimate Dive Boat "BRENNDS2": Our custom-designed vessel was built specifically with diver comfort in mind. Enjoy designated individual seating, a clutter-free deck with dedicated gear storage, and two clean, spacious restrooms.

• A Commitment to Quality & Safety: To ensure the safety of our guests and the preservation of our delicate cave environments, we generally require a minimum of 30 logged dives. This allows us to maintain a professional standard where every diver can relax and focus on the beauty of the caves.

3. Meeting Point　Our meeting point is Turiba Marina. Please note that our shop (office) is not located at the harbor, and we do not have on-site accommodation.
