As a diver, when you think about diving in Asia, you probably think of diving in Southeast Asia. Your mind’s eye takes you to the incredible islands of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. And you’re not wrong: There’s just so much to explore in the region and with thousands of islands and islets to discover, the dive opportunities are absolutely endless.
However, with popularity comes, well, crowds. Visiting Southeast Asia’s most famous dive spots means sharing the sea with increasing numbers of divers. So, where in Asia do you find awesome diving without the masses? One answer is, look east.

So, in this East Asia Edition of Asian Diver Scuba101, we introduce you to this mesmerising underwater world less dived. From swimming with big animals in Japan to discovering the lost Lion City of China, the (dive) world is your oyster!
