Diving Kanagawa on the Cheap - Is it possible?

[tecbarrera]

Just looking for a few reasonably priced dive operators in Kanagawa. Any recommendations? I've dove with Discovery Divers Tokyo before and they're a great bunch to dive with, but they get booked out really quick. Need some backup alternatives, just in case I decide one morning to drive along the coast and get in the water.

Well if you can find some locations and dive centers that will rent tanks I would love to go. I also enjoy diving with Discovery Divers but as you say schedules don't always match up.

So I've tried to put together a list of diving resources in Kanagawa for you...

This is the Naui list of dive shops and centers in Kanagawa

Here is the PADI list of dive shops and centers in Kanagawa

Be warned that it's all Japanese language and most shops probably wont have any English speaking staff.


Here is a list of dive shops and centers (pulled from the Naui and PADI sites above) who may rent tanks and equipment as well as provide ocean access. If you have had experience with any of these please post it here.

It looks like a cheap solution may be to rent tanks/get air fills from an outfit like the Overhaul Center and dive at Hayama beach (near Zushi City), Miura Peninsula, Kanagawa Prefecture. I have not done this yet myself but will try soon. Maybe this weekend...
