Scuba Diving (All year round)

The seas of Rausu are a great place for scuba diving too!
See young fish and appreciate new life in spring or see righteye flounder, Japanese fluvial sculpin and Bering wolffish swimming in summer.
The ocean floor is also covered with seaweed, earning Rausu the name Kelp Forest - it's a truly amazing sight!
In autumn you can come face to face with the returning salmon and trout.
But the best of all is winter. Swim under the drift ice and you might see cliones.

Due to global warming, there is less drift ice every year. Will you help Shiretoko Rausu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, figure out what's causing it?

Advice

The fish and other sea creatures in the northern seas aren't wary of people and you can get very close, but there isn't a 100% guarantee.
But the staff will do their best to make sure it's as close to 100% as possible!

Note: *You need to have a "C Card" (diving license) to go scuba diving.
It requires a high skill level, so be sure to ask about it.
