Discover Scuba Diving with Sea Turtle Course in Yakushima

"Discover Scuba Diving / Special 1 Dive Course" is an activity focused on meeting sea turtles and swimming with them! The sea turtle encounter rate will increase dramatically because you can go far away more and more by diving for a longer time than normal experience diving. The crystal-clear blue waters of Yakushima nurture a rich ecosystem, creating a bountiful paradise where various creatures, including sea turtles, live peacefully. Let's take a peek into the sea of Yakushima, where sea turtles live in peace! And let's swim with sea turtles!! Note: This isn't a tour which guarantee to meet sea turtles. Please understand that it is not possible to meet 100% because sea turtles are also wild animals in the natural environment. Special Offer: All photos and videos taken by us during the tour will be provided to you free of charge after the tour! Even on days with fewer shots, we'll capture over 50 photos and videos, ensuring you have lasting memories of your enjoyable experience.

• Public transportation options are available nearby
• Suitable for all physical fitness levels
• Available for 10 to 70 year old
• If you are participating with a family that includes children in grades 4-6 (ages 10-12), or groups with individuals over 65 years old (aged 66-70), we will accommodate you with a "private charter tour". Additionally, children in grades 2-3 (ages 8-9) can experience the adventure of "breathing underwater" in shallow waters up to -2 meters deep. This will also be arranged as a "private charter tour."
• Those under the age of 13 (elementary school students) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• For this course, we need to give you a technical lecture in Japanese for about 1 hour before diving. But there is no staff member in our shop who are fluent in English now. We are not good at English very well, so our pre-diving briefing will be given in Japanese with some broken English and by gestures. Therefore, it might be difficult for those who are completely new to diving and do not understand Japanese to join in it... We apologize for the inconvenience...
• However, snorkeling tours do not require as much technical instruction. Therefore, anyone can participate in snorkeling without any problems, even if they do not understand Japanese. Furthermore, Snorkeling has the highest chance of meeting sea turtles of all sea activities! The chances of seeing sea turtles are much higher with this course than with the "Introductory Diving / Special 1 Dive Course (commonly known as the Sea Turtle Course)", which has a longer dive time specifically designed to see sea turtles. Please consider it.
• All guests aged 60 and over, and those under 60 with health concerns, must complete and bring the signed "Diver Medical/Participant Checklist"; doctor's approval may be required. The download URL for the 'Diver Medical/Participant Checklist' can be found in the Special instructions section of your mobile ticket. Please download and complete it from there.
