Inspired by reports from Dr. Richard Smith and the DeLoaches, my macro loving friend & I are working on a 3 week dive trip to Japan this July.
We've got Hachijo-jima and Okinawa organized but we've been really struggling to book what we hope will be 5 days diving the Izu Peninsula.
We were hoping to dive Osezaki + Izu Oceanic Park but both recommended dive ops we contacted (one in each area) don't seem to have any English speakers on staff and sadly we do not speak Japanese.
Has anyone organized an Izu trip like this? Does anyone have recommendations for a guide or dive op that could help organize/coordinate diving?
Is it too ambitious to try to do both IOP and Osezaki in 5 days? Should we be trying to do only one instead?
We each have 1000+ dives and will have all our own equipment except for tanks and weights.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
