Diving Shop Abaro

Tucked into the Shimizu Ward of Shizuoka City, Diving Shop Abaro is a welcoming dive centre that opens the ocean to newcomers and seasoned divers alike. As a PADI Dive Center with 4 PADI instructors, the team leans on small-group, safety-first instruction — the kind of unhurried attention that lets even first-time divers slip beneath the surface with real confidence.

Courses and what to expect

Abaro carries divers all the way along the journey, from introductory experience dives to full PADI certifications and guided tours. It's a fitting home base for anyone in the Shizuoka area who wants to begin diving properly, refresh their skills, or keep a lifelong passion in the water going.

The shop keeps things comfortable and practical, with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and parking on site. A full range of rental gear is available — from masks, snorkels and open-heel fins to BCDs, regulators, gauges, boots, 5mm wetsuits and drysuits — plus equipment sales. Staff assist in English, Japanese and Korean, so a wide mix of visitors will feel at ease.
