Eastdive

Izu Peninsula, Japan

Eastdive, a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort on Japan's Izu Peninsula, is the kind of place where you can really settle in. We’ve found the Izu coast offers a surprising variety of shore dives, often with volcanic rock formations and some cool macro. This centre is geared for serious training, from entry-level through instructor development, so it’s a solid choice if you're looking to significantly advance your certs. The staff are professional, as you’d expect from a Japanese operation, and the overall vibe is focused but friendly. It's a convenient base for exploring the local sites, especially if you’re staying a few days and want to dive multiple spots along the peninsula.
