Plan description

Experience diving tour to enjoy in the sea with a sea turtle encounter rate of 80% or more Because you can go offshore more by diving for a longer time than normal experience diving, the sea turtle encounter rate will increase dramatically. In the second half after getting used to diving, I just look for sea turtles! (Note: There is definitely a higher chance of encountering sea turtles than a normal experience diving, but it is not a guaranteed tour. Please understand that it is not 100% possible to meet sea turtles because they are wild animals. Please participate above.) If you are not particular about sea turtles, please consider participating in the regular "1 dive course".

Experience diving with the main purpose of meeting sea turtles!

Yakushima is a world-famous "sea turtle island". Please spend a relaxing time with the sea turtles in the sea of Yakushima!

Get free photos and videos during the tour!

All photos and videos taken during the tour will be presented free of charge after the end! Even when the number including videos is small, it exceeds 50, leaving a good memory.

We also have a start at 10:00 and a start at 15:00!

In addition to the regular course starting at 8:00 and 13:00, we also offer 10:00 start and 15:00 start that you can participate according to your schedule and even on the day of arrival.
