diving points
Diving in the beautiful sea of Nanki Shirahama. Afterwards, park diving will take you to an 8-meter-deep pool where you can get up close and personal with the dolphins that are so active in the water.
While enjoying the diving, you will learn about the marine environment and living creatures in the Shirahama Sea, and think about the impact of marine ecosystems and marine debris in the Big Ocean.
Through these experiences, we hope to pass on the richness of the sea and its creatures to the next generation,
This is a program to think about what we can do now with divers and dolphin trainers in the sea of Shirahama to pass on the richness of the sea and its creatures to the next generation through experience.
The number of participants is limited to 6, and the trainers provide support so that even beginners can participate without anxiety.
