Join Dive Station for small-group boat fun diving in Kushimoto, Wakayama. We offer guided boat diving for certified scuba divers, with English support available for reservations, briefings and dive guidance. Each group is limited to a maximum of four divers per instructor, allowing us to consider each diver’s experience, comfort level and preferred diving style.
Our regular dives take place mainly in the Sumisaki area of Kushimoto.
This area offers opportunities for fish watching, underwater photography and relaxed fun diving.
Our dive boat reaches the main dive sites in approximately five minutes. We normally return to port after each dive, so you can rest at the shop between dives.
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
