I wear glasses. Can I still snorkel?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. Contact lenses are recommended. Some shops rent <b>prescription snorkel masks<\/b> for free \u2014 ask when booking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q2. Can I do this while on my period?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, with a tampon. No operational issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q3. My kid is scared of water. Should we still book snorkeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf your child is only mildly nervous, instructors can usually help them settle. But if they refuse to put their face in water, the tour won&#8217;t work. <b>Message the shop before booking<\/b> for kids under 8 or nervous kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q4. Do the guides speak English?<\/strong><br \/>\nVaries by shop. Look for tours marked <b>&#8220;English-speaking staff&#8221;<\/b> on the tour page. Book those to be safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q5. Cancellation and change policy?<\/strong><br \/>\nFree cancellation typically up to <b>3 days before<\/b>. Weather cancellations are always 100% refundable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q6. Will I lose a contact lens?<\/strong><br \/>\nExtremely rare, but bring a spare pair just in case. Contacts staying in dive masks is standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q7. Sunscreen \u2014 anything special?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 Okinawa protects its coral. Use <b>reef-safe sunscreen<\/b>, and only on exposed skin (face, hands, feet).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q8. Can teenagers (age 12) try discover diving?<\/strong><br \/>\nUsually yes \u2014 minimum is generally 10. Minors need a <b>parent&#8217;s signature and presence<\/b>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id='blue-cave-vs-kerama-vs-minna-which-should-you-pick'  id=\"boomdevs_17\" class=\"main-head\" >Blue Cave vs. Kerama vs. Minna \u2014 Which Should You Pick?<\/h3>\n<p>Okinawa&#8217;s &#8220;big three&#8221; marine spots, side by side:<\/p>\n<table class=\"compare-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Spot<\/th>\n<th>Strengths<\/th>\n<th>Weaknesses<\/th>\n<th>Best for<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Blue Cave<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Signature blue glow \u00b7 Half-day \u00b7 Budget-friendly<\/td>\n<td>Crowded in peak \u00b7 No open-ocean feel<\/td>\n<td>First-timers \u00b7 Short trips<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/area\/kerama-islands\/\">Kerama<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Sea turtles \u00b7 Best water clarity<\/td>\n<td>Full day \u00b7 Possible seasickness<\/td>\n<td>Photo-focused \u00b7 Marine enthusiasts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.gogo-tour.com\/info\/area\/minna-island\/\">Minna Island<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Uninhabited island landing \u00b7 White sand beach<\/td>\n<td>Long transit \u00b7 Seasonal<\/td>\n<td>Families \u00b7 Churaumi combo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>First time in Okinawa?
