Papalagi Diving School Shinjuku is a key part of a larger diving network that has been operating in Japan since 1999. As the second branch of the Papalagi group, this shop has built a reputation for reliability and expertise over nearly three decades of operation.

The centre is strategically located in the Chiyoda area, just a seven-minute walk from Shinjuku Station. This makes it a convenient hub for divers based in Tokyo who want to organise their training or plan trips to the coast before heading out to the water.
