Star Dolphins

Star Dolphins is a PADI Dive Center and diving school based in Wakayama, Japan, focused on helping newcomers earn their diving license and helping certified divers sharpen their skills. The team's approach is built around being safe, reliable, kind, polite, and fun — a welcoming setting whether you're taking your very first breaths underwater or working toward a higher rating.

Courses and who it suits

As a PADI Dive Center, Star Dolphins offers scuba diving instruction and a range of license certifications, making it a natural fit for beginners after their first qualification as well as divers looking to keep improving.

The center is easy to reach for divers across the wider Osaka region, including Sakai City and southern Osaka. Depending on where you start, it's roughly 20 minutes to an hour and a half away by car, and the train is convenient too, using the Nankai Main Line or JR.
