Collins' D.C.

Collins' D.C. is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort based in Shizuoka, Japan, where diving is built around genuine PADI training. As an IDC Resort, it covers the full PADI scuba diving pathway, making it a natural home base whether you're stepping into the water for the first time or working your way toward the professional ranks.

Beyond the home waters

The centre also looks outward, running dedicated trips further afield. Its Micronesia Palau tour, scheduled from Saturday, February 8 to the 13th, is aimed squarely at big-game diving for those chasing bigger encounters in open water.

With a strong PADI foundation and an appetite for adventure closer to and well beyond Shizuoka, Collins' D.C. suits divers who want structured, certified instruction alongside the option to travel for something more ambitious.
