Ever Blue Yakushima

Ever Blue Yakushima is a PADI dive center on Yakushima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient cedar forests and pristine natural environment. The island's diving is equally spectacular but far less known, offering a unique combination of temperate and subtropical marine ecosystems where the warm Kuroshio Current meets cooler waters from the north.

Yakushima is renowned as a 'sea turtle island,' with an encounter rate exceeding 90% on dives and snorkeling trips. Green sea turtles are resident year-round, and during summer months (May-August), loggerhead turtles come ashore to nest on the island's beaches. Beyond turtles, the underwater world features healthy coral reefs, Japanese spiny lobsters, nudibranchs, and a variety of reef fish species found at the crossroads of tropical and temperate marine zones.

Dive trips typically depart from Isso Fishing Port, with boat rides of just 3-5 minutes to dive sites. The center offers both experience diving for beginners and fun dives for certified divers, with competitive pricing that makes it one of the most affordable options in southern Japan. The combination of world-class forest trekking, sea turtle encounters, and the natural beauty of this UNESCO island creates a complete nature destination.
