Small-Group Boat Diving in Kushimoto

Our regular dives take place mainly in the Sumisaki area of Kushimoto.

Dive Station has been operating in Kushimoto since 2000.

Who Can Join

Our diving services are for certified scuba divers.

We do not offer trial dives, introductory dives or Discover Scuba Diving for people who do not hold a diving certification.

Newly certified divers and divers with limited experience are welcome. We guide a maximum of four divers per instructor and arrange groups according to experience and diving objectives whenever possible.

Please tell us when booking if you:

  • Have completed only a small number of dives
  • Have difficulty with equalization or descent
  • Use air faster than other divers
  • Have not dived for a long time
  • Would like to focus on underwater photography
  • Prefer a slower and more flexible schedule

Divers returning after a long break may find our private diving plan more suitable. It allows your group to dive at a more flexible pace.
