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.“
This dive site presents a plethora of photography opportunities, catering to both macro and wide-angle enthusiasts. You can capture shots of seahorses, lionfish, and other small fish intricately clinging to the walls. Notably, the flying rays that make an appearance here during early summer are truly remarkable and widely renowned. Additionally, during the autumn season, massive schools of fish create a wall-like spectacle that can only be described as awe-inspiring. This site exhibits unique charms in every season, ensuring that each dive brings new discoveries and experiences.
