In Okinawa you will need a transportation due to the distances between the dives sites, sightseeing, restaurants and all the touristic stuff. Make sure you pack you drive license or if your international license is valid in Japan.
We also recommend to hire a full insurance, they are too many bad drives and too many tourists driving, it´s very common to see some accidents around. See links below.
