Japan’s waters harbor a stunning and underappreciated wealth of marine biodiversity, often overshadowed on the global stage. From frigid Arctic-like currents to warm tropical seas, Japan’s underwater ecosystems encompass an unparalleled variety of marine habitats. An estimated 155,542 species call these waters home, with over 34,000 already described—3,000 of which are fish—alongside 50 species of marine mammals and an astounding 122,000 species still awaiting formal classification. Adding to this richness, the Sea of Japan boasts high oxygen concentrations that sustain more than 800 species of aquatic plants, making it one of the world’s most biologically diverse marine environments.

The Aquatic Wonders of Japan Expedition will take you to the heart of this extraordinary marine realm, exploring three key locations off Suruga Bay, just a few hours from Tokyo. Suruga Bay, renowned for its remarkable depths, is a hidden gem brimming with unique marine life seldom seen by even the most seasoned divers. During our reconnaissance dives, we were left utterly amazed by the breathtaking diversity and beauty of these waters—a discovery truly worthy of celebration.
