About this tour
A 6-hour scuba diving course in Izu Peninsula for certified divers looking to refresh skills or explore new dive sites. You'll complete two tank dives with a guide, including weight belt and lunch. The Izu Peninsula's varied underwater terrain—rocky reefs and kelp forests—makes it popular for day trips from Tokyo. Suitable for divers with some experience; bring your certification card and log book, or arrange rental gear in advance by providing your measurements.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and prepare your gear before entering the water. Most of the 6 hours is spent on two separate dives, typically starting in the morning to take advantage of calmer conditions. Between dives, you'll surface, regroup, and have a chance to rest and eat the provided box lunch. Your guide will lead you through the underwater terrain, pointing out marine life and ensuring you stay comfortable at depth. After the second dive, you'll return to shore, rinse off, and debrief. Bring your diving card and log book to document the dives. If you're renting equipment, arrange this well ahead by submitting your height, weight, and shoe size so the operator can have it ready.

Good to know
This suits divers with at least basic certification who want guided exploration rather than a certification course. You'll need moderate fitness—the ocean entry, current conditions, and breathing underwater demand physical stamina. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have poor heart health. Izu Peninsula has seasonal swells and visibility varies; water temperature requires a wetsuit year-round. Equipment rental is not included in the base price—factor in extra cost and book early. Bring your own swimsuit, towel, sandals, certification card, and log book. Group size isn't specified; confirm before booking. Public transport is nearby, so car rental isn't essential.
