Characters

Hikari Kohinata (小日向 光, Kohinata Hikari)
Voiced by: Eri Suzuki[3]
An energetic girl who loves scuba diving. She's usually an absent-minded person, although she can be pretty insightful at times, especially when it comes to noticing how people feel. Being the kind of girl with a unique world view, she ends up dragging her friends along for her activities, usually making people discover new things. She usually says "Happyan~" when impressed or curious. She is nicknamed "Pikari" by her friends.
Futaba Ooki (大木 双葉, Ōki Futaba)
Voiced by: Ai Kayano[3]
A girl who moved in from the city and joins the Diving Club on one of Hikari's impulses, even not knowing how to swim. She is an introverted person, and lacks self-confidence to the point of being let down by the smallest of failures. Usually being scared of new experiences, she's usually bound to follow Hikari's impulses to attain such. They eventually become best friends. She is nicknamed "Teko" by Hikari.
Ai Ninomiya (二宮 愛, Ninomiya Ai)
Voiced by: Saori Ōnishi[3]
An upperclassman in the Diving Club. She's usually well-spirited and hot-blooded, although when put in romantic situations, she can show a softer side. She's usually the comic relief of the series, acting violently toward her brother, but deep inside she cares a lot for him.
Makoto Ninomiya (二宮 誠, Ninomiya Makoto)
Voiced by: Yūichirō Umehara[3]
Ai's brother, who is also in the Diving Club. Being more calm-minded than his sister, he's usually the comic relief character, being the main aim of Ai's violence.

Voiced by: Shizuka Itō[3]
Hikari and Futaba's homeroom teacher and the advisor of the Diving Club. An experienced scuba diver and dedicated teacher. Although strict and serious, she firmly believes that practical work and self-discovery are important to every person's development.
