Kumiko Furukawa
Kumiko started diving years ago and she enjoyed being in the water as much as she
was able. She loved diving so much that in August of 2002 she got her NAUI Divemaster
certification and has accumulated 100's of dives since then.
If she is not teaching piano lessons, taking care of things at
JAK's Noodle House, a small restaurant owned & operated by her and her husband or managing
reservations for Costa spa at the Rota Hotel, you can find her underwater diving for
fun.
She has also done some underwater modeling around Micronesia and Indonesia.
When Divemaster services are requested she is available.
