Akasyachi Diving Service

Set on the waterfront in Japan's Wakayama prefecture, Akasyachi Diving Service is a PADI Resort dive centre run by a team of 2 PADI Instructors. It's a welcoming base for divers who want structured PADI scuba diving instruction alongside easy access to the water, with a dive boat ready to carry you out to the local sites.

What you'll find underwater

The waters here reward the curious. Divers can encounter sharks, whales, turtles and ocean fish, along with mammals and reptiles, eels and echinoderms, molluscs and crustaceans, and vivid displays of corals, anemones and jellyfish — a genuinely varied mix for a single destination.

On land, the centre keeps things comfortable with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking. Practical support covers air fills, nitrox, equipment sales and equipment rental, so you can travel light. Guiding and instruction are offered in Japanese, making Akasyachi a natural fit for local divers and Japanese-speaking visitors looking to train, refresh their skills or simply explore the reefs.
