Diving School Marea Ikebukuro

Izu Peninsula, Japan

The team at Diving School Marea Ikebukuro are your gateway to the Izu Peninsula, particularly if you’re coming from Tokyo. We’ve always found their shop in Ikebukuro to be super convenient for getting geared up or just chatting about conditions before heading south. They specialise in PADI courses, right up to instructor development, making them a solid choice if you're serious about progressing your diving here in Japan. What we really appreciate is their focus on local knowledge. They run trips to a range of Izu sites, from the dramatic wall dives of Futo to the fish-filled shallows of Atami. We’ve had some fantastic macro dives with them around Ito, spotting nudibranchs we’d never find on our own. It’s always well-organised, and they’re good at matching groups to conditions, which is essential given Izu’s often lively currents. Our favourite thing about diving with Marea is the seamless logistics; you meet, you dive, you’re back in the city without any fuss. It’s the perfect setup for a weekend escape from the urban sprawl.
