About this list

If you want to go scuba diving with sea turtles in Japan, the useful question is not whether the sea turtles are there but who will take you to them that way.

All 23 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Jan–Mar, Apr–Oct and Mar–Nov among them. There is no single season for sea turtle trips in Japan, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list coral, sea turtle, manta ray, humpback whale and clownfish as target species. Ways to meet them: snorkeling, scuba diving, boat-based watching and freediving. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
