My divemaster had same issue as you and none of the shops here will take the risk.... He had to send his to the US :-(

Okinawa gets a bit cheaper but prices can not be compared to Thailand etc.... It's a first world country where wages and living standards are equal to US and Europe. So as prices for beer, hotels won't be as low as rest of Asia, neither will diving be unfortunately. Some great beach diving as...

Disclaimer: I run trips for DiveZone Tokyo We are diving Shark Scramble in Chiba that weekend and looking at everyone's calendar , no one is doing a trip to Oshima around that time ! Have a look at our calendar as well Cheers, Ben

Goodmorning, Are you a certified diver? Virtually most shops in Izu (Oshima), will only speak Japanese. Cheers

Wow, resurrection of the 2007 zombie threads! We are based in Tokyo but are planning few trips to the Nagoya area. Always happy to meetup !! We dive a lot on east dive of Izu normally. Cheers

Sorry for replying to an old thread. Will this be done again this year?

I am trying to find more English support but unfortunately the general rule is, no English support. Happy to help out if you shoot me a msg DiveZone Tokyo - Contact page

June is known as rainy season. The typhoon season in Japan runs from May through October, with most activity from July to September. I would say September can be a peak. I'm going with some people to Ogasawara in August if that is what you're looking for. Cheers

What kind of wreck is there in Numazu? I am a Tec diver and do all my dives in Izu... My main wreck in this area is in Atami so happy to go exploring other areas! Cheers

There are day trips to Kerama islands from Naha but Yonaguni is far far away from Naha. You have to fly over there.... If there would be a ferry, it would probably take a day to get there (I think there used be one from Ishigaki island but not Naha). Cheers

We also couldn't do manta point and look at the video from other dive sites we did... Hopefully that gives you an idea of whether to dive or not https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Id3r_4jIqVE

I wish I knew the kindle edition was coming so soon! Oh well, proud owner of both paper and kindle edition now!

We will but flying back Nov 3rd so no overlap. :-(

Any courses in Asia in 2015-2016??? I plan on starting to sell HOG gear and want to offer servicing in Japan.

Me too!

I have actually found that DiveAdvisor had quite a bit of dive sites listed for Japan as English resource. A Travel Guide to the Best Scuba Diving in Japan PADI Japan has also a nice overview but it's in Japanese. Myself I am in Kanto... Would love to visit and dive Kyushuu some day! Cheers

Same here. My condolences.... I will miss her.

Dived with them two years ago and agree they are a well run shop and friendly towards English speakers. It is still my favorite destination to Okinawa!

I know I am replying to an old thread but trying to improve English information about diving spots in Japan again. The above links are broken and outdated. Some more current resources include the excellent blog of Bonnie https://bonniewaycott.wordpress.com/ and someone made an effort to...

Summer is in full swing in the Tokyo area and that means it is the best diving season. Looking for some island trips to Oshima, Shikinejima, Kozushima, Hachijojima or swim with wild dolphins at Miyakejima? Hammerheads at mikomoto island? Shipwreck in Atami? Japan has lots to offer! We are happy...
