Types of Diving Tours
Introductory Diving (Taiken-Diving)
Introductory Diving is for people who do not have a Diving license or a diving permit but have little experience and is conducted at relatively shallow depths with support.
One instructor is assigned to a maximum of four participants.
Generally, equipment rental and lecture fees are included in the tour price.
Scuba Diving (Fun-Diving)
Fun Diving is available to those who have obtained a C-card license after completing practical training in the pool and a course of study.
It allows you to dive deeper than experience diving.
In addition, since equipment rental and lecture fees are generally not included in the tour price, most tours are less expensive than Introductory Diving.
