Arari

This dive site boasts dynamic topography, featuring a large offshore root known as the West Root and the Horse Mackerel Root. It’s conveniently located just 5 minutes from the harbor, making it suitable even for those who are not particularly comfortable with boat rides. One of the most spectacular highlights here is the presence of stingrays, especially during early summer. In the peak season, the encounter rate with stingrays can approach 100%, and you may even witness a group of them instead of just one or two. As autumn arrives, the visibility improves, and the already dynamic topography becomes even more fascinating. You can observe kampachi and sunfish circling around, as well as the famous “school of large, motionless snappers“ in the offshore roots. Many divers who frequent this site express their amazement, saying, “I can’t believe I’m in Izu.“
