VELETA DIVING SHOP

Tucked into Tokyo just a 3-minute walk from Akabane Station, Veleta Diving Shop is an easy-to-reach PADI Dive Center built around varied courses and attentive, personal support. With instruction from a PADI-certified instructor, it welcomes everyone from first-timers to seasoned divers, teaching each participant at their own pace so skills build comfortably and safely.

Courses and what sets it apart

The lineup runs from the PADI Open Water Diver course through advanced and rescue diver training, but the real draw is its unusually broad range of specialty courses. Distinctive options such as "Seahorse SP" and "Sea Slug Diver SP" are hard to find elsewhere, making this a natural home for divers who want to explore the finer, more specialised side of the sport.

Equipment can be rented, so beginners can join a course without buying gear first, and the fee structure is transparent and easy to follow. On-site you'll find air conditioning, a retail shop, air fills and Nitrox, with instruction offered in Japanese.
