Diving in Boso Peninsula

Host to surfing’s inaugural year in the Olympic Games, Boso Peninsula is famous for its long, eastern sandy beaches, great waves, and easy access from Tokyo. With the Oyashio Current flowing from the north and the Kuroshio Current flowing from the southwest, excellent diving is found at the tip of the peninsula where the water temperature is warm and visibility is good throughout the year. Diving in Tokyo Bay, a deep-sea valley offers interesting creature encounters. Boso Peninsula offers fantastic shark diving at the ITO shark scramble where hundreds of banded hound sharks, stingrays, and groupers are fed.
