Experiences to enhance your diving adventure
Combine world-class diving with exciting experiences out of the water for a trip you'll never forget.
To reach the Japan's best diving spots you'll have to travel to some interesting and little-visited corners of the country. On these outlying islands you'll find distinctive culture, fascinating history, subtropical mangrove swamps, dense jungle packed with unusual wildlife, spectacular waterfalls, pristine beaches and exciting cuisine - with plenty of opportunities to explore and interact along the way. This is a side of Japan far removed from the traditional stereotypes, and the experiences in this section provide the perfect foil to your diving adventure.
