First of all, thanks for posting our details. The dive site in Futo you are referring to is Yokobama, it has the same kanji as Yokohama. There are very few dive sites in Izu that allow "buddy diving" without a guide, Osezaki is one of them, and the most popular. In Hayama, there is open...

What an old thread! I noticed an error on my post 6 years ago...there are no boat dives directly from IOP, that would be from Futo, but the dives are actually near IOP. To dive IOP, you must hire a dive guide there or go with a dive shop. It also helps if you can read and speak fluent Japanese...

Most dive guides are full Instructors. In Izu, the main season runs from March to November, but we dive year round, although not every weekend like in summer. Having Level 2 Japanese will help tremendously, as you would be dealing with a lot of Japanese boat captains, dive service staff...

Marine Diving Fair, which was originally planned for April 1-3, changed the dates to July 8-10 due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. The fair will also host the exhibition of the Blue Earth Underwater Photo Contest 2011 winners. Venue will be Ikebukuro Sunshine City, Hall C and D. Hours...

Date: May 28, 2011 Location: Osezaki Water temperature: 17-18 degrees C Visibility: 5-10 meters We changed from the East coast of Izu, where many sites were closed due to high waves and surgee to beach dives in Osezaki where there were flat and calm conditions. Ipponmatsu, on the outer...

Date: May 22, 2011 Location: Kumomi Water temperature: 17-18 degrees C Visibility: 7-10 meters Boat dives in Kumomi, lots of suspended particles but visibility good. Cloudy overcast conditions made for flat light but underwater with a torch brightened things up.

Date: May 21, 2011 Location: Shobuzawa Water temperature: 15-16 degrees C Visibility:5-7 meters Dredging the harbor the previous days did not lead to zero viz, so we were pleasantly surprised to see 5-7 meters. Luckily, the guide rope was not covered with silt/sand. Good conditions for...

Date: May 7, 2011 Location: Atami Water temperature: 16-18 degrees C Visibility: 10-15 meters Cloudy conditions and a bit of rain in the morning led to some brighter skies in the afternoon...first dive on Chinsen (wreck) led to an encounter with a very curious squid who got very close to...

Hope to dive with you soon!

We dove Izu Ocean Park last week...besides the nifty Xmas tree, we were blessed with visibility I have not seen in years, probably about 30 meters... Water temperature was 22 degrees C, while the air temp was about 16 or so. Many divers are starting to dive dry. I was teaching a drysuit...

Thanks very much for the kind words. Great video! I will post a link of it on our website. Thanks and look forward to diving with you again soon,

We have 5mm 1 piece wetsuits, super stretch Pyrostretch neoprene, up to size 3XL in our rental inventory. Japanese shops do NOT carry these Western sizes...same as most shops in the US would not have a proper fitting wetsuit for a 4'8" Japanese female. Cheers,

Marine Diving Fair will be held at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro from April 2 to 4, 2010. English info page: http://www.marine-web.com/mdf/index_e.html

Hey, DeeDoubleYou, you just did... It is much better to telephone him, as e-mail can be quite unreliable down there.

So, how did you like the show? What were your impressions?

We were in Atami on January 17, Sunday! For the Diving Festival, I will probably be there on Friday Feb. 12th which is the trade only day. For the public, there are seminars on Sunday at 1 pm for Barrier Free Scuba Diving and at 3 pm, there is one for Diving Equipment Safety Administration...

Heck, we're diving now... Kyle, to explain about the differences between the two shows, the Diving Festival is geared more toward dive shops, including instructors, buyers, etc. since they have many seminars such as the PADI updates, etc. There are also seminars that the public can attend...

It appears that the bolt patterns are different, the Hollis pad has 6 holes, while the Halcyon Pak one has 8 holes. Thanks for your interest!

One more sold, thank you very much! Only one left.

Does anyone know if the outer hole pattern of the Hollis backplate is the same as the Halcyon plate, i.e. would the Halcyon MC Storage Pak fit on the Hollis? Thank you!
