QScuba diving seems like it could be expensive...

AIt can be a bit expensive! 😅 Diving involves equipment costs, guide fees, and facility usage fees. The expenses can vary from person to person, but some students manage it with part-time jobs. At JUA, we offer affordable plans so you can find a diving style that suits you.

QCan you go diving even if you don't have holidays?

ADiving is possible even as a day trip! Especially renowned nearby is Izu! The waters of Izu are known for their excellent visibility and are simply beautiful, often referred to as a treasure trove of marine life, offering encounters with a wide variety of creatures. There are truly numerous diving spots available, making finding your favorite spot one of the pleasures. At JUA, we focus not only on convenient day trips but also on enhancing your enjoyment with attention to meals and activities.

QCan I go diving during weekdays ?

AOf course, you can join us. We offer plenty of weekday lessons and day trips, so there's no need to worry. Weekdays tend to be less crowded, so we recommend it!

QCan I dive even during rainy days ?

AYou can dive! Rain is not a problem. Of course, the sun from underwater on a sunny day is beautiful, but have you ever seen rain from underwater? Depending on how you look at it, you can turn something a little unpleasant into something fun. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

QCan I dive with contact lentils ?

AYou can do diving even with contact lenses, but we recommend using a prescription mask. Especially for beginners in diving, water can easily enter a regular mask or during training, water might intentionally be placed inside the mask. With contact lenses, there's a risk of them shifting or coming off, which could potentially lead to danger. Therefore, we recommend using a prescription mask.

QCan I scuba dive if I take medication regularly or have a medical condition?

AEven if light exercise is fine in daily life, scuba diving is a sport enjoyed in a unique underwater environment, so it's important not to underestimate it! Depending on the medication you take or your medical condition, there may be cases where diving is not advisable, while in other cases, it may be possible. It's reassuring to consult with your regular doctor about this.
