Diving Center Log

Beach diving on the Sea of Japan

Diving Center Log sits on Route 305, facing the Sea of Japan inside Echizen Kaigan Quasi-National Park. The shop occupies a 5,000㎡ site rich in natural surroundings, with no buildings other than its own — a genuinely expansive setting the team sees it as their calling to help visitors use and enjoy to the fullest.

Echizen's waters combine dynamic underwater terrain with scenery that shifts through all four seasons. Beach points usually bring the tropics or Okinawa to mind, yet Echizen's sea boasts surprising clarity and ranks among the finest beach-diving spots on the Sea of Japan. Divers here encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish, molluscs and crustaceans, corals, anemones and jellyfish.

As a PADI Resort with 2 PADI Instructors, the centre runs PADI Scuba Diving and PADI First Aid – EFR courses, supported by an onsite training pool and classroom. Nitrox, equipment sales, and scuba, kids' and freediving rental are all available, alongside conservation activities. Onsite accommodation, food and drinks, parking and free Wi-Fi round out the facilities, with staff speaking English and Japanese.
