DIVING SHOP BLUE BLUE AKASHI

Tucked away in Osaka, Japan, Diving Shop Blue Blue Akashi is a PADI Dive Center where the owner personally heads out to sea to teach. That hands-on approach draws on more than 30 years of accumulated knowledge, and it shows in the way every course unfolds — patient, thorough, and grounded in real experience.

Who it suits

This is a welcoming home for divers of every age. Middle-aged and older beginners can take the plunge with genuine peace of mind, and many senior divers return here again and again. With three PADI Instructors on the team, each bringing over 10 years of experience, safety management always comes first — while the training stays enjoyable from the very first lesson.

Beneath the surface, divers may encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish and more. On land, an onsite classroom, air conditioning and parking keep things comfortable, and both equipment sales and rentals are available. Instruction is offered in Japanese.
