3-Day Itinerary Tips
- If you dive on Day 2, ensure at least 18 hours before your Day 3 return flight
- For the Kerama tour, staying in Naha the night before is most convenient
- Making Day 3 a sightseeing day naturally satisfies the post-dive flying restriction
- In summer, adding an extra buffer day helps with typhoon contingencies
- Multi-day rental car packages offer better rates; remember to return with a full tank
