Kaiho Sports Club

This dive site, Kaiho Sports Club, is located in Shinkawa, Ishigaki, Japan. It is not a natural marine dive site but rather the island's sole swimming school and gym facility. The club serves as a community hub for promoting health, improving swimming skills, and popularizing freediving, regularly hosting events like the Pool Freediving CUP. Navigation within the facility is straightforward, focusing on structured pool training rather than exploring underwater landscapes. As a man-made pool facility, this site does not feature any marine animals or natural plants. The water is chemically treated for cleanliness and safety, designed purely for human aquatic activities and training. The best time to visit Kaiho Sports Club depends on the facility's operating hours and event schedule, rather than seasonal marine conditions. It's an excellent location for freedivers seeking a controlled environment for training and skill improvement, offering consistent visibility and depth (up to 2 meters) ideal for practice. Divers seeking marine life should look for other dedicated dive spots around Ishigaki island.
