Japan is an island nation, so should be no surprise there are endless options for scuba diving, free diving and snorkeling. Like most things in Japan, it is highly regulated, and the fishing communities do have a lot of sway on dive access, but there are world class diving experiences from ice diving to tropical diving to swimming with wild dolphins in Tokyo! Explore Japan under the water on your next Japan adventure.
