🏅 Professional Journey

🌊From my encounter with diving to the world

1995

My origins are in Miyagi Prefecture.

While in high school, I obtained my Open Water (OW) license in my hometown of Miyagi Prefecture.

From there, I became captivated by the allure of scuba diving, and after graduating from university, I went to Australia to fully immerse myself in the world of the ocean.

2003

Instructor Certification Acquired (Cairns, Australia)

I obtained my instructor certification at "Deep Sea Divers Den," a long-established shop in Cairns.

At this shop, which boasted the world's largest number of certified instructors at the time, I thoroughly learned the know-how of high-quality instruction and gained solid professional experience.

🦈From the Similan Islands in Thailand to the raging currents of Izu

2004

Acquiring Multifaceted Guiding Skills

To gain further guiding experience, I joined "Dive Asia" in Thailand.

I was stationed on the Similan Islands cruise, a dream for divers, and served as a tour leader for four seasons.

During the Similan Islands cruise's off-season from May to November, I returned to Japan. I joined "Shimoda Divers" and "Mikomoto Hammers," based in Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, and dived extensively in Japanese waters.

Kumomi Area : I honed my skills in complex underwater topography diving, macro (small marine life) searching, and comprehensive instruction.

Mikomoto Area : I gained guiding experience in large marine life diving, wide-angle photography, and drift diving.
