Akazawa Diving Center

Akazawa Diving Center sits in Shizuoka, Japan, welcoming divers to Japan's Pacific coastline. As a PADI Resort, it's built around structured, certified training — the kind of place where newcomers can take their first breaths underwater and experienced divers can keep building their skills within a recognised system.

Courses and who it suits

The centre offers PADI scuba diving, so whether you're chasing your first certification or logging more dives to sharpen your technique, there's a pathway here to match. That PADI Resort standing means lessons and dives follow globally consistent methods, making Akazawa a comfortable fit for travellers who want familiar, well-organised diving away from home.

Set in Shizuoka, the centre is a natural base for exploring the surrounding waters at whatever pace works for you. For divers heading to this stretch of Japan, Akazawa Diving Center offers a straightforward, PADI-backed starting point for time beneath the surface.
