Diving in Sapporo?

[lolarent]

Hi,

I will be in Sapporo, close to the University of Hokkai-Gakuen from April until the end of July, 2013. Does anybody know of any good dive stores and or dive sites around there?

Thanks!

Hokkaido is a popular destination for ice diving so I am sure that there are plenty of shops in Sapporo.
A quick search revealed a few:

Not much English on these pages, but these pages will give you an idea of what is available. Rental gear is expensive in Japan so bring your gear if possible.

The links are in Japanese so they might appear as gibberish if you don't have the right fonts installed.

hi, I'm heading to Sapporo this time next year and was wondering how things went, if you've been diving yet. If you have, who did you go with and what can I expect?
thank you
