This dive site, Osezaki Beach, is renowned as one of Japan's most famous beach dives, located on a cape jutting into Suruga Bay. Divers have two distinct options: the more sheltered bayside or the open seaside. Both routes begin in shallow rocky areas near the shore, transitioning into sandy bottoms as one ventures further offshore, offering varied topography for exploration.
The site boasts a remarkable diversity of marine life. Expect to encounter large schools of fish, alongside numerous macro subjects such as nudibranchs, gobies, and intriguing anglerfish. Depending on the season, larger pelagics like sunfish are a highlight.
The best time to visit Osezaki Beach is during spring, when sunfish are frequently sighted, adding a special thrill to dives. Its shallow depths and rich marine life make it exceptionally suitable for both freedivers and scuba divers of all levels, offering ample opportunities for marine observation and photography.
