Apologies for hijacking the thread - work is sending me to Tokyo late Aug 08, and consequently wrecking any Aug Bank Holiday plans I had.

I could fly out before the meetings to do some diving over the weekend 23-26 Aug. Is it even remotely possbile to organise any Rebreather diving as a visitor? I'd need lime, oxygen & air (or trimix if deep diving). I can bring my own cylinders but these are UK spec - any problems filling them?

Generally, Japanese shops only fill Japanese tanks. Tanaka Mitsuyoshi at Blue Quest is the man you need to speak to: he can rent equipment and fill tanks. He can fix you up with scrubber too. He may be in Ohshima that week doing 100+ dives, and if he is I hope to join. One way or another, you should be able to get some decent dives in, so bring your toys.
Cheers,
Nicholas
