Explore Japan

Diving in Japan offers a unique underwater adventure, combining vibrant marine life with diverse environments. The Japanese archipelago stretches over thousands of kilometers, creating a plethora of dive sites, each with its own distinct charm. From the icy waters of Hokkaido, where you might encounter sea lions and even drift ice diving, to the tropical seas surrounding Okinawa, teeming with colorful coral reefs and majestic manta rays, Japan provides a spectrum of experiences for divers. Japan's underwater landscapes are as varied as its culture. Divers can explore dramatic walls, mysterious wrecks, and rich kelp forests. The Izu Peninsula, just a short trip from Tokyo, is known for its accessible shore dives where you can find a wide array of marine species. Meanwhile, the Ogasawara Islands, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, offer pristine dive conditions with an abundance of pelagic life. Seasonal changes bring unique opportunities, like the chance to see hammerhead sharks in Yonaguni or the breathtaking coral blooms in summer. Whether you're on a liveaboard expedition exploring the remote Nansei Islands or a leisurely shore dive near a bustling city, the blend of natural beauty and cultural richness makes diving in Japan a truly special experience.
