"Japanese Giant Salamander Encounter!!"
We are a diving shop operating in the center of Kyoto since 1991, organizing diving excursion trips to Sue and the surrounding oceans. We focus on skill brush up for local divers and also put importance to introducing the beautiful rivers of Kyoto to the international visitors.
We are proud of our Kamogawa river in Kyoto for it's beauty and it's nature, and this is the reason for our special experience program.
Though the river runs through our beautiful Kyoto city, the upstream mountain area is a wonderful place to snorkel. Here you can snorkel with Japan's special natural monument , The giant Salamander(Andrias japonicus) and endemic river fishes, such as the beautiful red spotted masu trout(Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae) and char(Salvelinus). In the spring time, you can experience snorkeling withe the young sweetfish(Plecoglossus altivelis) a.k.a "Ayu", coming up from the Bay of Osaka, with is another treat for nature and animal lovers all around the globe.
