Tracking this one closely !! Outside Okinawa shouldn't be too tough I hope.

This is a local diving shop http://cocomo.jp How is your Japanese? I doubt there will be many shops supporting English. Also have a look at Kansai divers group on Facebook. They might have some tips for you! Cheers

Not many local divers check this website every day... I am unfamiliar with dive sites in Kansai (Osaka area) but can get you in touch with divers. If you have Facebook, look for a group called Kansai divers Coming to my side (Tokyo) will only make it colder and my advise would be to go to...

Kuroneko is the most famous one but there are several... Every convenient store is a drop off place and has forms of at least 2 companies. But dive shops will call and arrange pickup for you, often after drying your gear. So just give them the fee and address and thing should be taken care...

Takyubin is domestic only and really convenient! Final hotel does not have to be the same as the one from first night. Just have the diveshop send it to your final destination (hotel) and problem solved. 20-30$ at most!!

We are going to the fair with some people on Sunday and then do a hanami picnic for divers!! If anyone is around in Tokyo, drop me a message!!

Another option which will be much cheaper is use takkyubin. Send the gear to your final hotel in Tokyo and take it back from there. Just a thought! Your diveshop should be able to help you out! Takuhaibin - Delivery Services Cheers and safe diving!

On the main island, there are two established dive shops: Reef encounters and Pirhana divers... Best dives are daytrips to the Kerama islands... I have mostly only had experience with diveshops on the other islands like Zamami and Ishigaki. Using a 5mm is the norm and if you get cold easily...

5mm is what you need and Okinawa has many destinations.... February is a top month for Yonaguni and hammerheads... Ishigaki is good for mantas... Sky skyscanner for cheap tickets.... Cebu is cheap from Japan and I definitely also recommend Palau. You have 5-day dive packages for around 130.000¥...

Nice!! 3-day weekend? Never been there this late in the season! Maybe I should try going during winter!!

If I were you, in January I would try to go to yonaguni to see the underwater city and large schools of a hammerheads. Potentially even the whales!!

Forget squid... It's not what you need. Have a look here, lots of advice on how to educate others on cyber security. http://stcguide.com/explore/parents-and-educators Cheers

That explains... My recently bought one also seemed pretty "solid" at the glands... Wondering it it's worth effort to replace cable... My main grip with it is that it's too long... What replacement cables are you using?

Yes yes, he does reply, eventually.

Same here, would love to take a course from him but hard to get replies from him. I'll try the Facebook tip!

What he said. I was in Zamami last May and the water was nice, clear and blue. Nice corals and fish but I think the biggest I saw was a turtle. Did 5 days of diving and didn't do all the spots. Don't remember seeing big stuff as I am a fan of that as well. Down south to ishigaki! there are some...

Where can you order the metal glands?

Indeed, OP just created an account to troll. Lame. I order stuff online from Japan all the time without issues. DRIS is great with their free international shipping and I usually find most items I need. They are usually very helpful and accomodating and they deserve some praise for their hard...

I am trying to do as much diving as possible in Izu and Chiba and will be posting here regularly (I hope). Looking for dive buddies so drop me a message! I am familiar with Tago, Kumomi, Osezaki (all west Izu) and IOP plus Atami (Izu east coast).

Saturday was fine and even Sunday in some of the more protected areas in Izu south of Tokyo. Today is definitely a NO. Tokyo region doesn't get hit as hard as more south areas like Okinawa.... Pretty rainy down in Tokyo. Should be over tomorrow. Typhoon #19 is already sticking his head up for...
