Diving experience the Yellow Dive way
Just 5 minutes from Motomachi Port and 15 minutes from Okata Port. If you see a cool, white building, then you know you are at Yellow Dive & Komugi Terrace, run by Mr. and Mrs. Furuyama. Tōru, who has more than 28 years of diving experience, has worked at diving shops in Bali and Izu Oshima island before opening his own 10 years ago.
They started off first with just the diving shop, but after realizing how hard it was for visitors to find accommodation despite the island’s popularity among divers, they decided to open up a guesthouse exclusively for divers as well.
The reason why, after his many years of experience as a diving instructor, Tōru chose Oshima island was because: ‘Here, the water temperature is relatively high compared to areas closer to Kanto, and in the winter, the transparency is about the same as Okinawa. As there are a lot fish and with close to a 100% chance of seeing turtles, this is a place with a lot of potential for divers to have fun’. As Tōru’s destination of choice, a seasoned diver with years of travel experience, the bar for diving on Oshima island has been raised.
Yellow Dive is one of the few diving shops on Oshima island offering sea scooters. With the help of a sea scooter you can dive to the outer edge of unrestricted areas and visit sites like Triple Arch, or Rakuda and Samemachi reef where the outlook on fish is the clearest on the island, and importantly, Aki-no-hama Drop-off, a site only allowed to those who hold a sea scooter special license.
Then there is the Blackwater dive event, held only a few times a month and quite the spectacle. It’s an event where you get to explore the mysterious depths of the ocean at night with an underwater dive light to shine your way through the darkness.
After diving, it’s time to mingle with your diving crew back at the house.
There's more to Yellow Dive than just diving. As we mentioned before, the diving shop also runs a guesthouse called Komugi Terrace. The first floor has dormitories with separate male and female rooms, while the second floor is made up of private rooms.
It’s not uncommon for divers to travel alone, so make friends, go out and grab dinner together. Spend the evening getting to know your fellow divers.
There’s also a bar at Yellow Dive, so it’s great for hanging out with your new found friends after grabbing a bite to eat. Here divers can hang out together like old friends. A diving experience like no other, and people you wouldn’t meet elsewhere. That is why to date, Yellow Dive attracts divers from all walks of life.
