Southern Cross

Southern Cross is a PADI Dive Center based in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, serving the Osaka area of Japan. As the only dive centre of its kind in the city, it has built a local reputation over two decades, and continues to mark its 20th anniversary with a commemorative price on the Open Water Diver course.

Courses and who it suits

PADI scuba diving instruction is at the heart of what Southern Cross offers, with the OWD course making it a natural starting point for anyone in the Osaka and Nara region looking to earn their first certification. The centre works around your schedule, holding sessions with your priorities front and centre — a personal touch that suits new divers who want guidance close to home.

Whether you are taking your very first breaths underwater or returning to build on your training, Southern Cross combines PADI standards with a welcoming, community-rooted approach in the heart of Ikoma City.
